Charismatics should always be aware that they are blaspheming the LORD if they say something that does not come from the LORD. To claim that God said something when he, in fact, did not, is BLASPHEMY. And, God forbid that anyone something in God's name that was not true. If he does this, he...

I will also add that the freewiller concept of universal atonement takes away the personalness of the atonement, as Kevin alludes to, in his last sentences. You can't have it both ways, folks. Also, check out my thread on, is the doctrine of limited atonement biblical? if you want to see my...

Here's a new article on limited atonement by Kevin DeYoung. The reason why limited atonement is important is that it teaches an ACTUAL atonement, not a HYPOTHETICAL atonement. Free-willers deny that the atonement actually has reconciled anyone to God, but has only provided a theoretical...

Again, you are claiming regeneration is the same thing as being sealed with the Holy Spirit. They are two separate actions of the Holy Spirit. I don't agree with the free-willer theology which claims that a spiritually dead man must produce faith and repentance from his heart of stone, and...

Read them more carefully. Cornelius' family was already given the Spirit and was speaking in tongues as a sign of salvation. Ephesians 1:13 teaches that the sealing of the Holy Spirit had already occurred after faith, and doesn't mention baptism. Certainly regeneration also occurred by then...

The term "baptismal regeneration" relates to those who believe water baptism is when regeneration occurs. Therefore, baptismal regenerationists think that the person is regenerated by the Holy Spirit when they are water baptized. My assertion, as the original poster, is that the false...

It is your claim that being sealed with the Holy Spirit is the same as regeneration. I reject that claim. They are two related works of the Holy Spirit but are not the same work. First, the Holy Spirit regenerates the person, giving him a new nature, a heart of flesh. As a fallen son of Adam...

First, when said that God revealed the meaning of Jeremiah 17:9 to me, I was talking about the moment of salvation, and it WAS INDEED God telling me this. I was very self righeous and had deceived myself into thinking that I had made myself worthy of God's forgiveness through good works and...

As I have said, the unsaved person, with a heart of stone, cannot produce the spiritual fruit of faith and repentance. That is why he needs a heart of flesh. He can't produce spiritual fruit without it. That is why regeneration must precede faith. By the way, I view the Holy Spirit's work...

Free-willers claim that faith and repentance must be dredged out of an unsaved person's heart of stone. Reformed people are convicted that faith and repentance is the fruit of the heart of flesh, which God gives to the elect, and the man with a stony heart cannot produce it. Which one sounds...

Ephesians 1:13 and Acts 10. Acts 10 clearly says that the family of Cornelius was already regenerated prior to their water baptism. Ephesians 1:13 indicates that regeneration happens at the moment of faith, not baptism.

By the way, Gospel Coalition has a very good little booklet on baptism and the Lord's Supper. It is only about 4 dollars on Amazon. It covers both the paedobaptist view and the credobaptist view. I am a credobaptist, but I can see where they get their teaching from. I don't think that any...

Usually the puppet analogy is used by ignorant people seeking to discredit Reformed believers. However, Reformed theology teaches that God gives the unsaved person a new nature that wants to please and obey God, and this new nature governs their behavior. The nature that the person possessed...
