    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    Well you rely on your own authority when claiming this KJVO dogma as well. This cult-like belief system that you've adopted that makes an idol of a version of His word, and is backed up by nothing but your "authority", and honestly fails on the most basic levels when given any kind of deeper...

    To think of God as being this weak and stupid baffles me, I don't know why one would want a God like this. It's not at all what scripture tells us about Him, but besides that, why on earth would anyone want to have a God like this? It's such a disjointed, random, and pointless God. An "it is...

    Assassination attemp against Donald Trump

    Safest and most secure rally in all US history I've heard it said.

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    That's a self defeating statement. No more, no less. Not to sound "mean", but it's like saying, "There is no truth". Is that statement true? It's just a logical fallacy, so kind of pointless to say, again I'm not trying to be mean, but just kind of felt led to point it out.

    Pentecostal view of the holy spirit.

    Okay, well then prove that "He who claims is he who proves". If this is true then you will have no problem at all proving your claim, right?

    It makes no sense to me and how on earth could He have given so much EXACT prophecy THE WHOLE TIME, and doesn't know the future. This is almost silly beyond belief. It's the deification of "mans choice", in the place of Gods sovereignty. We just can't let go of the thought we have no control...

    Do stillborns and deceased babies go to 'hell'

    Why? How is what he's saying wrong. Look NONE of us are born saved. No not one. Right? We are born of the flesh and because of Adam falling we are ALL born with a dead spirit. We are born broken. That means the little baby that hasn't been able to decide to sin yet, is still born broken. That is...

    Did Those Who Were Never of The Elect Ever Have Free-Will?

    I believe those warnings and encouragements are how we will feel when the Spirit is guiding us, they are for those who are false converts to keep pointing them the right way. While we can sit here and discuss these things like we grasp them, we really don't. How does our choice work within a...

    You are wrong plain and simple. We are not "born good". Not sure how you believe this once you KNOW the truth. I thought the same way when I thought I was saved but wasn't. All I can say to you from here is saved or not keep seeking. If you don't understand that we are born spiritually dead then...

    I'm sorry brother, we are not "born good" as you say. We are born spiritually dead and disconnected from God. This is the state we are in until we are born again in spirit and this can ONLY happen through Jesus. I understand what you mean as far as babies not being "sinners" in the sense they...

    That's not at all how I understand it. "TOTAL DEPRAVITY" is our spiritual status when we are born. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit they died, that day. Their spirit died and they were no longer connected to God. Every one of there offspring to this day are born the exact same way. This is how...

    Did Those Who Were Never of The Elect Ever Have Free-Will?

    Seems to me this contradicts His word in John 8 where Jesus tells us that when we are in sin we are slaves to sin, then in Romans 6 Paul draws that out to we are slaves of sin or slaves of obedience, this idea that we EVER have this kind of "neutral" free will isn't found in scripture. We have...

    That does not negate my point at all. Saying our will is a slave to sin or righteousness doesn't in ANY WAY suggest we don't have a choice. What's you're point here? Are you suggesting Jesus was wrong when He says our will is a slave of sin or righteousness? It's your side of this debate that...

    Sorry Jesus says we are never free. We are slaves to sin or slaves to righteousness. There is no "free" will.

    We are born spiritually dead and disconnected from God. The day Adam ate the fruit, his spirit died and mankind was disconnected spiritually from God. Eve was too. They could then only reproduce spiritually dead children and that's how when we are born "in Adam", we are born "in sin". Every...

    What if you die before water baptism?

    Absolutely, and it's NOTHING we do, there's nothing we can do, it's ALL Him. Not "being good enough", following the right rules, repeating the right prayer, getting dunked in water, being sprinkled the correct way with water, not the family you are born to, NOTHING we do and it's all Him. ALL...

    What if you die before water baptism?

    Okay thank you for clearing that up and doing so straight forward. I completely disagree with you and believe it's you that makes this distinction between the saved and then getting a power up every now and then when you "call down His Spirit" or whatever you think baptism of the Holy Spirit...

    can you guys post something funny please?

    "Joe Biden is leading the country and doing a great job." There's no bigger joke than this.

    What if you die before water baptism?

    I don't understand the point you're making here. Are you saying there are 2 types of being saved? Are you saying we are not indwelt (reconnected to God by our resurrected spirit being reconciled to His Holy Spirit making us NEW creations) by His Spirit when we are born again/saved/baptized in...
