Yes, but what does it mean? Does it mean that all Jews are saved even if they are anti-Christ?

And thusly you illustrate our difference.

1. "One of our Pelagian heretics very recently claimed that Jesus said only those who choose to sin are slaves of sin. But that person intentionally added to Scripture, trying to make a ridiculous point, which basically amounted to, Scripture does not mean what it says. TOP #34: Believers...

You are biased to see difference whereas I am biased toward equivalence; ascribing the work of Jesus to Satan is exactly what an apostate does. Regarding tulipism, you have never disavowed any part of it that I have seen, but for the record I disavow every point of it and affirm MFW. See the...

Salvation is always individual, so we must be careful when interpreting what Paul meant by using the corporate terms "Israel" and "Gentiles".

Yes, I guess IMO does correlate with "in effect/IE" and also with IOW, all of which imply our humility or admission of fallibility. I would prefer to say that all who reject/ignore God stand condemned to a just hell, but their destiny was not predetermined, because children raised IAW God's...

Well, I am not interested in playing ping-pong.

Yes, God's commandments beginning with His command to accept Jesus as Messiah and Lord and with Christ's command to love God, oneself and everyone else.

Yes, apostasy is unforgivable = will remain unforgiven because the apostate is totally depraved and so will never again repent. (I thought y'all tulipists would appreciate that insight.)

Mine is the 1982 version given to me at my ordination service in that year. Not sure that I would call it a complete switch, but I do see a transition of "we" in v.11-14 so that by v.15 "your" refers only to believers or humanity who made (past tense, whereas future tense was previously...

The correct statement IMO is: "God pre-destined/-determined/-planned that those who rejected salvation would reap the logical and just consequence of such foolishness, which is a just hell. "We" could refer to the OP host, if it is possible for God to know who will exercise MFW wisely by...

Hopefully those playing ping-pong on other threads will be edified by the reposting of this truth.

The NIV. Yes! Good sewing Scripture together with spiritual thread (aka connecting dots). :cool:

Our understanding of Ephesians is false?!
