Here's a section of a paper I wrote on salvation. it lists a few other Scriptures concerning faith being a specific gift given to the believer. I find it common, though, that free-willers will claim that God has given all men faith. It is just their choice if they exercise it. They will...

In other words, you're basically declaring that you are the determining factor in your salvation. Like I have said, free-willers make themselves the heros of their story. They will continually twist Scripture in order to steal glory from God. The essence is: Scripture says that God chooses or...

Additionally, in the cultist organization I belonged to, continuationists were constantly used as "proof" that Christians were weird and believed strange things. It doesn't take a genius to turn on TBN or similar networks and see that it is full of strange individuals making outlandish claims...

I suggest that folks read some solid systematic theologies in order to determine what the two words mean. And, there isn't a large degree of difference between"predestination" and "election". For instance, 1 Cor 1:26ff definitely proves that God elects believers to salvation: 1 Corinthians...

Isn't it against the rules of the site to declare someone who professes Christ to be unsaved? I thought it was. By the way, I am placing you on ignore. I suggest that you do the same thing if you don't want to know what I think on various topics. It's totally your option. If you're a...

It sounds like you are attempting to redefine words to fit some pre-existing doctrines you hold. Predestination is a general term, whereas election is a specific term. And, in fact, it is more related to salvation than to mission. I don't suppose you will hold that position, though, because...

There are certain theologies and cliques on this form. Charismatics are one of them. Dispensationalists are another. Free-willers are another. I disagree with all three of them. It wouldn't be surprising if these cliques did try to get me banned. I also wouldn't lose any sleep over it...

"Election" means that God chooses individuals for salvation. Predestination is associated with the same teaching. God chooses individuals for salvation, and decrees that they will, indeed, be saved. In fact, he causes it to happen. He gives them a heart of flesh that results in their faith...

All believers are predestined by God, not just Israel. Romans was addressed to a mixed congregation. It is true that there has always been an elect minority within Israel. The rest were not regenerate. However, election is not specific to Israel. There is only one man now in Christ...

Actually, Alistair Begg is a very good teacher. Maybe he doesn't declare his end time eschatalogical views all the time because it's not a high priority in his mind. Maybe he's more concerned with core salvation and Christian living principles. I agree with him. As a member of a cult that...

Actually, you're wrong. I used to do jail ministry, and the main chaplain was a charismatic type. He told the men that they needed to be exorcised from their generational sins, etcetera. He claimed, in essence, that God found it very difficult, if not impossible, to save men who were trapped...

I simply responded to the question. Are honest men not allowed here? It's exactly what I think.

Justin Peters recently published this video confronting WoF teachers on their frauds and defective theology of suffering. Pretty good stuff. Justin is a Christian who has cerebral palsy and has a ministry addressing the problems with these sorts of individuals and their teachings.

It seems to me like continuationists need to clean up their house, before they expect us to take them seriously. A good video on false prophets, in the context of Corona virus. Justin Peters looks at their false claims. He explains their deceptiveness in uttering prophecies, claiming to speak...

By the way, if you pay attention, those who believe in "continuationism" actually are making an issue with the "spiritual sign gifts" rather than spiritual gifts in general. They are insinuating that if you don't believe that "tongues", interpretation of tongues, prophecy and healings by an...

I am a continuationist but: 1. I think most charismatics are fake, ignorant, self-deceived, mentally or emotionally ill, or lying, and lack credibility. 2. I don't think most "tongues-speakers" really exercise the biblical gift of tongues. 3. I don't think there's any Scriptural...
