That would not apply to anyone who is truly justified by grace through faith. So let's look at that passage again: PREDESTINATION BEGINS WITH DIVINE FOREKNOWLEDGE For whom he did foreknow... GOD PREDESTINES FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE, BUT NOT FOR SALVATION He also did predestinate... THE SAINTS...

Well if you want *high moral standards* they must apply across the board. But the Leftists have a double standard -- ignore all the evil on the Left, and then manufacture evil deeds on the right. This is clearly evident in the mainstream media. They have deliberately failed to expose the...

Well since God says He has done it all, you are doubting Him.

You bolded "to be conformed to the image of His Son" but you failed to focus on its significance in relation to predestination. That verse does NOT say "predestined to be justified" (as Calvinists automatically assume). It says "predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son" and that...

This is laughable. "High moral standards"! Which of the Democrats have ever had high moral standards??? They specialize in lying and smearing anyone and everyone. Particularly Hillary Clinton, who was criminally involved with many things, and should have already been behind bars.

Correct. But words are important, so we are baptized WITH the Holy Spirit when we believe, and also baptized BY the Spirit into the Body of Christ. Peter called it receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. There are two instance in Acts (which was showing a transitional period) where those who...

1. It's not as simple as it might have been a long time ago. The State does have a religion -- it is called Godless Progressivism or Socialism (and in some countries it is simply Godless Communism). America is heading in that direction, unless people wake up and see what is going on and make...

That would change in a hurry if the extreme Leftists and Christian-haters who are now in the Democratic party ever had power. They would try to take away religious freedom and promote Islam. If you don't believe this check out the numerous news reports about how Muslims are trying to control...

This is COMPLETELY FALSE. God has give His only begotten Son to the whole world of humanity, and that is what Christmas and the Gospel is all about. As to the Scripture you have quoted, it is a misapplication, since Christ began to speak in parables after the Jewish religious leaders resisted...

That thought should have been completed, because it REFUTES Calvinism. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. What does it mean "to be conformed to the image of His Son"? NLT -- to become...

Hello FB. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too. My response to your post is as follows: 1. Everyone makes mistakes. Forget the past and keep moving forward since you cannot change the past. Hopefully you have learned some lessons. 2. God is not punishing you for your mistakes, so...

He's been trolling for Calvinism for quite a while. Thread after thread.

Another thread on mixing oil and water. And that too in the BDF forum rather than the *entertainment* forum.

You are now getting a little confused. Slavery started in Virginia, and was primarily in the Southern states. Those people had nothing to do with Pilgrims and Puritans. And the Pilgrims treated the Indians with respect and kept good relations with them.

Why are you so obsessed with the idea of oil and water being married? You have started several thread along these lines (probably for entertainment).

That is quite incorrect. The Puritans came after the Pilgrims.

Did anyone bring up Obama's personal life? How about the Clinton's, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Lynch, Holder, etc. So the way to respond is "Let's first discuss the personal lives (and lies) of all public officials who were in the Obama administration, including...

Seems like you are taking a passage out of context to prove your point. Also seems like you make this a habit.

The Pilgrims were not the same as the Puritans (even though many confuse the two groups). The Pilgrims were Separatists who did not want to be associated with the Church of England (which was under the British monarch). They wanted to worship in a more biblical manner and had no interest in...

Quite a few things are seen as foolish: How could a virgin birth even be possible? How could God become man and remain God at the same time? How could God the Father lay upon God the Son all the sins and guilt of the world? How could the Father forsake the Son for three dark hours? How...
