Well, they didn't even know about the cross.

Stay in Romans 8 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and...

Agree with everything but the word "adoption" which is defined in the same verse as the redemption of the body. This is later explained as being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. At the resurrection, we will be finally adopted as a child of God being conformed to the image of God's Son.

It was a view of Christ as the future King of kings, as the law and prophets testitied.

Totally agree with your statements.

Agreed brother! Thanks be to God!

Nope, not all. There many believers who have been mislead by false teachers. Ever read Galatians?

9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: God uses man to exhibit his attributes. Animals cannot experience love, obedience, eternity, justice, integrity, honesty, etc. God has chosen to...

Yes! If someone was chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, that person could never have been a child of disobedience, nor a child of wrath. 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world...

Dying for the sins of the world, and offering salvation for everyone, and not everyone receiving that salvation that God offered, is not a failure on his behalf, but man's failure to believe the gospel. Yes?

The future is not a set thing to know. God has given man choices, and works in and through those choices to bring about his desired end as set forth in the scriptures.

Yep, the bible is full of if and then statements. If you do this, I know what's going to happen to you. But if you do that, I also know what's going to happen to you. Now choose... Nothing in the passage states that the future is set in stone. Jeremiah 18 7 At what instant I shall speak...

I believe Satan was there in the beginning. He was Lucifer, the anointed cherub, one of the sons of God as mentioned in Job 38. Job 38 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who...

Deathbed conversions? Droughts? No water available? The gospel of Jesus Christ can bring salvation to those who believe, even when no water is present. Take all the water off the earth, Jesus still saves sinners through the gospel. Acts is not a doctrinal book.

Are there any exceptions? Thief on the cross? Death bed conversions? Places in a drought?

True, I hate labels. I am neither a Calvinist nor Arminian. Blessings to you.

I understand, but so many on here follow Calvin's false teachings. It has crept into most seminaries and now infiltrates many churches.

"If by claiming John Calvin was a Roman Catholic...." Yep, you did. But that's ok, God elected me to be a twit...whatever that is.;)

John Calvin was a Roman Catholic priest who believed in baby sprinkling and murdered people who disagreed with him. Follow him if you want.

Scripture is clear, the spiritual blessings would come through Christ. If you want to get in on those blessings, you better get into Christ through the gospel. You leave out the important word, "according." This takes the context back to what was previously said. Note, it does not say, he...
