Yes I do. I have all the above. I also believe in the gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit. I obey the Lord's commandment. 1 Corinthians 14:37-38 If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment. But if...

The mere fact that Calvin was quoting the law to punish blasphemers and heretics, and anyone not obeying his instructions. Is way more than one needs to realize that Calvin considered himself to be under the law. Calvin was riding two horses at the same time both faith and the law. Faith and...

Did Calvin bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit? Did Calvin forgive those who opposed him? Did Calvin pray for and love his enemies? What do you mean by "a fallible man"? Is there the evidence of the power of the Holy Spirit in Calvin's behavior?

Do you have the internal activity of the Holy Spirit and the external activity of the Holy Spirit in your life? Are you praying for the higher gifts of the Holy Spirit? How do you know that you do not merely have an intellectual assent to the gospel?

Exactly. The direct evidence of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and the inner spiritual conviction. Yet, the point you may be overlooking is that you may be self deceived and not aware that you are. But I am hindered because I am fully aware that traditional theology is devoid of the power of...

I believe that I am saved because I put my trust in Jesus to save me as the scripture states. Am I absolutely certain that I am saved as a fact? Definitely not, because my salvation is ultimately in the hands of the Lord Himself. I live by faith in Jesus Christ not by some theological...

The origins of modern antisemitic trends in the Islamic World can be traced back to the ideas of the Syrian-Egyptian Salafist theologian Muhammad Rashid Rida (1865–1935 CE). He turned highly antisemitic after the British imperial designs on the Arab World after World War 1 and their...

Yes, Calvin had good reason to promote the law for civil control. Calvin was eventually evicted from Geneva for banning things the city of Geneva enjoyed. John Calvin and the city council of Geneva instituted strict moral reforms and sumptuary laws that banned Catholic practices, public...

I assume that you would agree that Christians should have the evidence of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, during their Christian life. Treating others with agape love as Christ demonstrated with His love of the apostles, and His self sacrifice for us all. Jesus even told us to love our enemies...

What I do know for a fact is that a Calvinist cannot know if they are truly one of the elect. Unfortunately, there is no security in the theology of Calvinism because not even Calvin knew whether he was saved. Theology cannot save anyone. Church organizations have no power to save anyone...

Well that's church theology at it's finest. Reformed, Calvinist theology. Read the following paragraph. Galatians 5:2-4 Look! I, Paul, tell you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. And I testify again to every man who has himself circumcised, that he...

AI reads the text (Galatians 4:9) differently to you. Galatians 4:9 states: "But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?" (NIV). Written by the Apostle Paul...

AI can read and understand the simple text in the N.T. AI can also clarify the context which guards against error riddled interpretations. Here is a good example of how the context in Romans nullifies what many think this following verse is saying. Romans 3:31 Do we then nullify the Law...

That is a confused reply.

Our Christian lives are dominated by prayer. Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer. Ephesians 6:18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints...

So what is the issue. If God is so powerful that He elects to salvation folk from eternity. Then surely these folk pursue love to the extreme and pray without ceasing? Something is wrong with this idea because 99.9% of Christians, I doubt, would pray more than twenty minutes a day. Can...

Of course not. We have always had limited willpower and a tremendous urge to sin. Does that then mean that God drives every single choice we make, definitely not. The Lord is not the author of sin or evil. There are two very important words in the N.T which are often missing on Christian...

Not so much "He has the perfect solution". Rather, He is the perfect solution and that is an under statement.

Shame He did not drive you to pray without ceasing.

I would say that our thought life is chaotic not so much free and in Christ it is focused.
