I always look forward to seeing your post and that wonderful childhood photo. Have you taken my suggestion and started your own company?

Just curious! Are you TulipBee under a new name? I have not seen posts from him lately and I enjoyed his humor....

That is exactly what I have been saying! Hearing is not enough. It also takes a work of the Spirit, and that does not happen for everyone.

Then why do not all who hear the Gospel message “done by the power of God” become regenerated? This is why the work of the Spirit must also be applied! All persons of the trinity work together, or the change will not occur.

Hearing is important, and it does come first! However, hearing (in and of itself) will not change your heart. It takes a working of the Spirit within the persons heart (in addition to hearing) to soften the heart so that it will receive what is heard. To think otherwise, would do away with...

This disagreement is much the same as the one made of Baptism. Do you need to believe before baptism? I don't think so, but discuss it with a Baptist and they have a totally different view. I think that both are very important, but as a member of a reformed church, I believe children should be...

The fact that it was non-Biblical doesn't make it right. Most people would go out of their way to admit their mistake. Expressing your desire for him to suffer is not the same as saying “I hope he doesn't win!” I am just saying that such statements make me want to tune you out. However, I...

That coming from someone who posted the following! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jamessb - Nikki Haley for President #107 “The only hope now is that Trump has a hearty attack or stroke or some other event that will prevent him from becoming president again.”...

I agree! You may hear it proclaimed, but it will have no effect without being born again, regenerated. (changed within)

Romans 1:7 Paul's Greeting To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I can see that you are beginning to be a little frustrated. Why don't you threaten to place Rufus on ignore like you do everyone else!

Yippee! No worries, we are all saved!

But they did not reject God because He poured His Spirit upon them. The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us (Rom. 5:5).

At least we can debate and still remain friends!!!

I'm not sure! It's Greek to me.

I would agree that it is God's desire that His word would go out to the entire world. Some people (His Elect) will hear His word and come to faith. For others, their heart will be hardened and they will be left without excuse. It was never God's plan to save the entire world. If that were...

I think the question only required a simple YES/NO answer.

I honestly believe that man's worst sin is putting trust in himself rather than God. It's just a natural instinct which is hard to overcome in fallen man!

Are you saying that you no longer sin?

Just because we are saved does not mean that we no longer sin! Christ has died for thousands and thousands of sin which are yet to be done. We are a work in progress, being perfected daily. We will not be perfected until the day of glorification. Yes we morn when we sin and pray for strength...
