This is a response to His actions, not a work of our own.

Does this mean that you now agree with us?

He is talking to those who at one time rejected God, but are now saved. Everyone is a un-foregiven sinner at some point in their lives.

When God puts His word and Spirit into a sinner's heart and soul, their heart is indeed renewed and they will believe. Turning to Him is not a work on our part, it is grace from Him which cannot be resisted. Just as He says in John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow...

They are not forced! It is a gift that they do not deserve.

It seems like once you are put on the spot, your immediate reaction is to place that person on ignore. If you keep doing this, pretty soon you will be talking to yourself!

I totally agree that it takes both (1. the spirit working in our heart and 2. the sinner turning from unbelief to faith in Christ). This is a mystery we will never totally understand in this lifetime. But I truly believe that without that act of the spirit we would never come to Christ. To...

That is a very good thought! However, Christ said - It is finished. Could you go down that path?

I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I'm not trying to say that they are not saved, I'm just trying to say that they are trying to take credit for a work that the Spirit did. It was the Spirit which enabled them to believe.

Thank you for putting me on ignore!!!

You are putting your trust in yourself rather than God! We must put our trust in what Christ has done for us, not what we have done for Christ.

The Holy Spirit changes our heart, enabling us to believe. This is only done for the elect of God! We cannot do it unless we are changed. To God be the glory......................

I have been following the back and forth debate between you and Brightfame52 and must confess that you are losing ground in your argument. For example: For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people. This cannot mean all people on earth. Why? Because God does not send...

As some here may know, spring in Texas arrives about a month before the rest of the states. That being said, I was in my in my back yard fighting a losing battle against this years crop of weeds. While taking a break I began to hear the pleasant sound of a nearby Mockingbird. I sat listening...

Are you claiming that God brings salvation to All, but His power is so weak that it will only work for some?

What do you mean when you say "A People" is singular? It seems like "A Person" would be singular

Savior/Saviour – the spelling is correct either way. However, when Savior or Saviour refers to Jesus, the word is usually capitalized in much the same way Christians tend to capitalize God. So, it seems to me that both his wording and proper use of capitalization were correct. What do you...

Those who are in Christ will never reject God. They do however often grieve Him. Just like Peter, they take their eye off Christ and begin to sink. When we truly repent, He forgives our weakness and our fellowship with Him returns. When we ask Him how He could continue to love a sinner like...

Each and every person once fell into this category. We could only will to do that which was evil in the sight of God. Why? Because we are all led by a corrupt heart which cannot please God in any way! However, God sent his only son to die for our sins. Through His death and resurrection, our...

Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening writing seemed to go well with the topic of Predestination. Evening for 2/27 "Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting" Micah 5:2 The Lord Jesus had goings forth for his people as their representative before the throne, long before they...
