Does the impossible never happen? I asked another poster about Cornelius. Was Cornelius saved before or after Peter preached at his home? He obviously already had a relationship with God. On what basis?

But who are the righteous? When was Cornelius saved? Did he not already have a relationship with God before Peter came to his home to preach? Acts 10:22 The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish...

That's a great point. Ultimately it is up to God. Even we were already condemned before we received grace. We were pardoned for our debt. God has the right to do that even at the final judgment.

And if you someone that had never even heard of Jesus, then what? Someone that was never given the invitation. What would you do if you were God?

Well... you were incapable of explaining it just a few posts ago. You seem to have wised up in a big hurry. What happened?

I agree. There is no salvation in Universalism. And actually, Universalism is anti-biblical and anti-God. But there is a broader issue here. It is about the final judgment of individuals. In each case, God has the option to show mercy, or to require justice. We may be in for some...

Yes. They are sheep stealers. And they come to places like this forum in search of prospects. Reader beware. The most common tactic is to try to make you dissatisfied with your own church. They will tell you that you have been lied to. (while they lie to you) They will tell you that there...

So, to answer the topic title question: Is Universalsim in Opposition to the Bible? Yes and no. Yes, because doctrinally, Universalism is in opposition to the Bible. The doctrines of Universalism are not Bible-based. They are in fact in opposition. Universalism is a response to the claim...

This is an interesting question. Thanks for launching this topic. I guess you knew you would come under heavy fire for such a "crime". lol Ironically, there is no salvation in Universalism itself. However... I forget the Pastor's name, but he was the leader of a mega-church that was asked...

Seriously? You have no idea what that means? Wow. "No one comes to the father but through me" - eternally-gratefull No idea what that means.

What is heresy? Wasn't Jesus considered to be a heretic to the religious leaders of his day? And Martin Luther too. Sometimes heresy is the right thing to do. And requires bravery.

Here is another point. Interpretive hearing negates the gift of the interpretation of tongues. No need for an interpretation. In the instruction about tongues and interpretation, the Apostle would have brought this up. When a message in tongues is given to the church, there should be...

What you are missing is that interpretive hearing is not a biblically recognized gift of the Holy Spirit. Why would the outpouring at Penetcost be built around that? Tongues on the other hand... Furthermore, where is the historic precedent for this theory? I had never even heard of it...

A losing argument? You guys couldn't even get your plane off the ground. However, I do appreciate the effort to argue for the other side. Thanks.

Translation: You are unable to answer. Was that interpretive hearing on my part? lol

That's another great point.

You are assuming interpretive hearing, for which there is no biblical precedent. Where is interpretive hearing in any list of spiritual gifts? No such thing.

Right. And there's no reason to assume that Peter's sermon was delivered in tongues, or heard through interpretative hearing.

Recent event? Explain.

They probably spoke many languages. Why was the New Testament written in Greek? (common trade language)
