FGC,

Saying "It's there, you can't see it" is not evidence, and is not even an argument. You realize this, right?

If it is "there" then you would be able to show it without resorting to circular reasoning. Correct? Yes.

I'm still waiting.
Hey, it worked for Prego my friend.

Still waiting, FGC:

1) Please show us from properly exegeted Scripture where any apostle taught that the salvation to which they referred was only here in time.

2} Please show us all, in Scripture, proof that the Native Americans were regenerate, and that all who behave like them in your scenario are converted to Christ.

3) Still waiting. Spare me the redundancy of you repeating your indoctrination verbiage, we already know what you believe. Prove your position from Scripture, disprove the Scriptures others and I have given.

4) There must be evidence in church history that others taught this as well. so show us this teaching in the church prior to you PB's coming up with it. Simply alluding to your eisegesis of a text is not proof. You realize this, correct, that reading it into a text isn't proof, and it's actually contrary to 2 Timothy 2:15?

You should be capable of answering these, with Scripture, if your theory is true. If all you can do is give a word definition and hypotheses then your teaching is false and man made. Nowhere in Scripture can you prove your PB teaching true, but I am waiting to be proven, from Scripture, incorrect.
2 Timothy 2:15 The 'saved" in this verse noes not have reference to eternal salvation, but to a deliverance here on earth. Acts 8:22 - The natural man cannot repent of something of a spiritual nature that he does not understand to be wrong in his sight. With the American Indian, believing in a higher power is believing spiritually, which the natural man cannot do. You claim he can, but scripture does not uphold that idea. I have explained Romans 1 already and that was supposed to be your proof.

Save, Saved, salvation according to the Greek definition means "a deliverance". We are delivered (saved) eternally. We are saved (delivered) here on earth every time a child of God repents of a sin and God forgives him, he is delivered from the penalty of that sin as he lives here on earth. Almost all of the salvation scriptures are deliverance we receive right here on earth. When a child of God asks for healing and God grants the healing he has been saved (delivered) from the affliction. When we obey God's commandments, God blesses us for it, delivers us from the results of being disobedient Some salvation scriptures that have reference to deliverance we receive here on earth; Judges 7:2, Ps 34:6, Ps 106:8, Luke 18:42, Acts 27:20, Acts 27:31, Rom 10:1-saved(delivered)from a lack of knowledge.., Rom 10:9- If confessing and believing is the cause of eternal deliverance, then it would be salvation by the works of man. 1 Cor 15:2, has a requirement for man to do which is to remember., Any time that there is a requirement for man to do to receive salvation it is referring to a deliverance here on earth.
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.(2 Cor. 5)

Look at the above passage. Those who are being reconciled to God are not having their sins imputed/accounted/credit unto them. Why would Paul make such an outlandish claim my friend? They were imputed/accounted/credited Jesus, who paid for them. They are all gone now, past, present and future sins are covered/blotted out by His blood. That is why there is no twofold salvation my friend. There is but one eternal salvation. All who are saved now stand before the Father clothed in the Son’s righteousness. God sees us in the exact same He sees His Son, as we are in Him now.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.(2 Cor. 5:17)

We are a new creation in Christ. The old things are gone, the sins blotted out.

In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.(Jeremiah 50:20)

Now, where do you suppose these sins and iniquities went? Sin can not go unpunished, it must be paid for my friend. They were laid upon Jesus who paid for them upon the cross. This is good news, the gospel, my friend, of which you deny to be found in the OT scriptures.

Well, the Egyptians in the days of Moses had many gods, so they’re saved.

Belshazzar was having a feast unto the gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood and stone. They’re saved, too.

In 1 Samuel 6, after the Philistines took possession of the Ark of the Covenant, they were stricken with tumors. Their dividers knew it was the God of Israel who had afflicted them. I guess they’re saved, too? :rolleyes:

Just because someone believes in an afterlife, whether it be a nirvana or an happy hunting ground, is not proof they’re regenerate my friend. Man innately worships something. As Bob Dylan sang, “You gotta serve somebody.” God wired man to worship, and without the gospel, He is the last One they’ll worship.

Exactly, because due to FGC's misapplying 1 Corinthians 2:14 they could never know this unless they're regenerate. Funny how PB's see regeneration in nearly everyone yet when one begins to show them their errors, all of a sudden that person is lost because they don't believe in their interpretation.

Let's chew on that for a minute. If the Native Americans didn't accept the PB's CTS, then they'd go from regenerate to lost. Just going by what I'm seeing in FGC's practice on here.

So, salvation is works to them after all, or better regeneration is. So it's not just believing in the happy hunting ground, it's more. It's been asserted by FGC that I'm lost because I don't buy his CTS yet I believe the Scriptures and in heaven too. Quite a selective and inconsistent "gospel" they have.

Thank you for providing the scriptures.

You are right, there are some verses which talk about a temporary "being saved" here on earth, such as Acts 27:20. Check it out guys.

Now the next thing: HOW can you prove the native americans were regenerate? Despite worshipign IDOLS in many cases?

He alluded that to me as well, only the remnant can see CTS, and if you can not see it, you are lost.

The Muslims believe in a heaven where they get 70 virgins(I have also read 72)all to themselves when they blow themselves up in the name of Allah. I guess they are regenerate, too. :rolleyes:o_O

Yep, even apostates are regenerate. Think about it, those in 1 John 2:19? Regenerate.

Their beliefs are cultic and the only reason he is here is for CTS "converts." Been down this road before with them...

Until God opens his eyes to the error of conflating regeneration with progressive sanctification, he will just keep chasing his tail.

I think the problem is if you dont believe in the happy hunting ground. Thats the key.

I know thats not in the bible but lets not get distracted by facts here. Happy hunting ground or no regeneration PERIOD

Those regenerate Native Indians who would tie people down, face up, then cut their eyelids off in the middle of the hot sun? My brother-in-law said he read they did this, and fixed their heads to where they could not move from side to side.

All of the elect's sins are forgiven, in covenant relationship with God, by Jesus on the cross, as your reference of Jeremiah. He paid for our sins, those of us after we were born a natural birth, after the cross, in advance, before we ever committed them and looks upon us, in the eternal sense, as pure an holy and without blame. I assume that you will admit that, even though you are saved eternally, that you do still sin at times and ask forgiveness of them. Is that not right? Christ's offering on the cross was an offering to God, for God's acceptance, and not an offering to man, for man's acceptance. Are you still holding on to the fact that the Saints of old were saved by obeying the gospel?

I agree that I sin, but that does not mean I am lost again and need saved. You are perpetually conflating salvation with progressive sanctification. Please stop doing this my friend.

They're probably still doing that same thing on their "happy hunting ground."

Let's apply your rather asinine, false and tiresome rules to the above in order to be consistent with you as you attempt to disparage others for the same comments:

You're preaching works salvation. See how that works? It applies to you as well, or, it isn't true at all. How many times have you told us repentance is a work? Except when you use it, right?

That, and you won't answer my posts that show, biblically and contextually, that you are in grave error concerning your CTS heresy. Mark 16:16 is only one passage that shows this.

So you're still incorrect that it is some deliverance only here on earth in time.

Also, these were not children of God prior to being eternally delivered in time; Ephesians 1, Ephesians 2:3 contextually show that these were granted eternal salvation at conversion, showing their prior state.

1) Please show us from properly exegeted Scripture where any apostle taught that the salvation to which they referred was only here in time.

2} Please show us all, in Scripture, proof that the Native Americans were regenerate, and that all who behave like them in your scenario are converted to Christ.

3) Still waiting. Spare me the redundancy of you repeating your indoctrination verbiage, we already know what you believe. Prove your position from Scripture, disprove the Scriptures others and I have given.

4) There must be evidence in church history that others taught this as well. so show us this teaching in the church prior to you PB's coming up with it. Simply alluding to your eisegesis of a text is not proof. You realize this, correct, that reading it into a text isn't proof, and it's actually contrary to 2 Timothy 2:15?
Yes our timely deliverance is because of our good works, but not our eternal deliverance.

I am not claiming that you are lost eternally. When we, as children of God, sin, we lose our relationship with God until we repent. We never lose our eternal salvation.
