Jesus was chosen and so were we, in Him.

The OLD FASHIONED preaching of say Wesley and Whitefield was not to preach a sermon to which sinners might [or might not] respond. Not designed to convince the intellect or pull the heart strings. Their preaching was a message that God could send down the Holy Ghost upon to compel the people to...

The Puritans used to say that "God is irresistible in His day of power" I know this. That Jailor was shaken out of his wits, desperate and ready to sink beyond all help, he was going to kill himself, he was in no state to resist God. Nor was Paul on the road to Damascus, the 3, 000 on the day...

umm, I wasn't having a go at you, your post just seemed like a good one from which to say what I wanted to say. :)

bravo Christian literature beats freewill into folk's head in the same way that science literature beats evolution in to folk's heads, it is brainwash. Anybody who disagrees gets laughed to scorn ... or worse they get beat up. The human freewill doctrine is a foothold which the devil has...

Yes ... not outside or apart from Christ the Lord but outside the church certainly. We are predestined and chosen to be transformed to the image of God's Son We are chosen in Christ to be a people for the praise of God's glorious grace ... these are crown jewels. It excludes nobody from being...

Imagine an epistle which began "Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ whom we have chosen of our own freewill" ... laffable

I'm afraid that doesn't quite equate ... you can have the bible but not have Christ, many do.

we would rather have 45, 000 denominations disagreeing in many things but UNITED in the fundamental doctrines concerning salvation by grace alone through faith not of ourselves Than have one conglomerate universal church teaching lies.

if nobody replies that your doctrine is wrong then folks might begin to believe it is a true doctrine.

only after everybody was merry .... ;)

He didn't drink hard liquor but He did drink fermented wine.

The natural man may choose but he has not the power to do or to be what he chooses. Paul prior to his salvation chose to be righteous and to serve God but in fact he did evil, that's what Romans 7. is all about.

Romans 7 describes Paul's battle against sin and flesh when he was under the law ... chapter 8 describes his experience under grace.

Well what did God say in the vision? "what God hath cleansed thou shalt not call common" Cornelius was already cleansed .... baptism has no saving or cleansing quality. Peter was very slow to learn ...

Cornelius was baptized in the Holy Ghost first, then baptized in water.

this is where folks disagree with you, many of us believe we should receive what they received. Paul encountered some who had been baptised with water [the baptism of John] and Paul laid his hands upon them and they were baptised with the Holy Spirit and spake in tongues.

aw stoppit already
