Featured Faith? Where does it come from?

It is a Reformed website. Should expect anything less than a defense of what it doesn't teach??

I disproved that by quoting from Vine.
In part he said:
In five out of the ten occurrences of the word in the New Testament it means master of the household. Originally, it indicates absolute, unrestricted authority, so that the Greeks refused the title to any but the gods. In the New Testament δεσπότης and κύριος are used interchangeably of God, and of masters of servants.

Furthermore, we learn from the book of Ruth that Boaz paid the purchase price, made the payment on behalf of both Ruth and Naomi.
In the book of Hosea, Hosea went down to the market and "bought back" his wife; paid the price, purchased her.
This is what these false teachers denied of Christ. They said: The price wasn't paid.
denying the Lord that bought them
The denied the Lord that paid the price that bought them.

 

If I married my wife before I was saved, put confidence in her at that time, was it good or bad.
If my children put faith in us was it good or bad?

When Jesus said you must have faith as a little child what did he mean? Even children have faith--innate faith. God does not give some special sanctifying faith to the unregenerate. I believe this must be some carry over from the RCC where Calvinism originated from.

 

But that is not what he said concerning 2Pet.2:1

 

Of course! Who wouldn't believe that? When did these men in the first century receive their apostleship, their gift of teaching or prophecy? The day they were saved? No. Likewise God did not give them the "gift of faith" when they were regenerated either. No spiritual gift was given to an unregenerate person.

 

Another post without scripture. How many is this six, seven in a row?

 

And now this thread has reached 25 pages. It really should have been in the Cal/Arm forum. But it needs to be closed because of its length.
