You must not remember but you banned shrume a while back . . . . .

Actually, I don't prefer to call them "heathen" . . . that was the word God used. One does NOT receive the holy Spirit UNTIL one has heard and believes the gospel of salvation - THEN they are sealed with the holy Spirit. A person must have some knowledge of good and evil for even a person not...

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. It seems that we are...

It seems to me that when the Gentiles received the gift of holy Spirit - they spoke in tongues, magnifying God - THEN were water baptized. So, they didn't speak in tongues because they were baptized in water BUT because they were baptized with holy Spirit.

The gospel is - God sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to reconcile the world unto himself. Jesus Christ died upon the cross for the remission of sins, was raised from the dead to eternal life - Eternal life is given to those who believe in him - that is the gospel.

Please note - shrume only posted how people get banned for their position against the Trinity. CSI vehemently denied this "NO THAT IS NOT TRUE" . . . those who attack and name call others who hold to the Doctrine of the trinity are the ones who have been banned as have others. . . . Now...

You can "sense" pride on my part? . . . I just did what God asked me to do - believe in the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, confess him as Lord and believed in my heart that God raised him from the dead. I take no credit for the Spirit born within me when I obeyed. Those "poor souls who are...

We are sheep in the sense that we need a shepherd to tend to us, to watch over us, to protect us, to lead us but we are NOT sheep that follow blindly and never question anything . . . . I don't believe in "blind faith" and never questioning anything - we are to search out the scriptures and see...

Well, just let me say that I couldn't care less what Calvin believes, nor Arminius. But of course, I am just a "dumb" Christian who happened to hear the gospel and read the Bible searching out for myself the truths dwelling there - I came to understand that when God said I needed to believe in...

Speak for yourself.

God did not FAIL at anything . . . mankind is the one who fails. God sent his Son so that THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM shall have everlasting life. He didn't fail because those who believe in Jesus Christ and believe that God raised him from the dead HAVE eternal life. It is man's choice to...

WHAAAT? Your opinion of Christians is really low . . . There are some VERY intelligent people who have heard the gospel and choose to believe it - what does IQ have to do with anything? God only chooses those of very low intellect and low IQ to serve him???? WOW! Hilarious!!!!:ROFL:

Well, wonder why God tells us that faith comes from hearing and hearing his word? We may have a fallen nature but we do have the capacity to reason, that's why God gave us a mind! The decision to save some and not others would make God a respecter of persons - you, you, you can be saved but...

Wonder how many verses there are that say we must believe in Jesus Christ? The choice we have is to remain in sin or believe in Jesus Christ - the choice is NOT a gift from God and only given to a few. The choice is set before everyone. Doesn't matter how intelligent you may think you are . ...

God's plan for someone receiving eternal life - belief in the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. That is a command. So it sets up a choice for people - believe or don't believe. God does not give us belief [faith as a noun] to believe [faith as a verb] or else why command that we believe? And...
