That's not how election works. The elect and the non-elect cannot commit apostasy. In the world of Calvinism apostasy does not exist. The elect cannot refuse to follow and the non-elect cannot chose to follow. It's really that simple. apostasy 1 an act of refusing to continue to follow...

Do not play coy and do not twist my words. I did not express the need for "flawless theology" nor "perfect theological knowledge". How about this: If good works are evidence of walking with God is walking with God evidence of salvation?

If good works are evidence of walking with the Lord then is walking with the Lord evidence of a correct theology?

Using your reasoning, would the phrase "walked to the store" be equivalent to the phrase "walked to the store alone"? This verbiage is nonsense. Alone means exclusive, there is no room for anything else. If salvation is by faith alone then works (regardless of there nature) are certainly...

Well said. Those in the Faith Alone Regeneration Theology camp cannot present a "faith alone" verse to support such nonsense so they patchwork a bunch of generalities and label them as all-encompassing. At the same time ignoring the many definitive verses about the need for obedience.

Three musts in a row. Sounds like works.

You seem to be a touch squirrely.

You are not the only one on this site who thinks the Bible is in error. You just happen to be the worst.

You forgot remission of sins. Mark 1:4

Okay, I will bite. How do you choose to be baptized by the Holy Spirit? Sounds like a work.

I can say the exact same thing about faith alone regeneration theology. A theology that cannot even find "faith alone" in the Bible and simply surmises it into existence.

This post is all one needs to understand your view of the scriptures. Please do not ever any of my comments. I cannot take the shame.

"Choose"? How can one choose whatever you are labeling as baptism in the Holy Spirit. The gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38) is not something you can choose but simply and humbly accept.

You willfully ignore the purpose of baptism. This is quite clear. The remission of sin is never "subsequent to salvation. Baptism is a work of God not man. Baptism is a covenant that we must submit to , much like the wearing of the proper garment at a wedding. Matthew 22:11-12 11 “But when...

The power of faulty reasoning. Again, false religion turns generalities and abstractions into theology and all-encompassing notions.

Is there an answer to the question in your comment?

Of course it's for believers!!! My my. The discussion at the well negates the command of Jesus for baptism?

No. You are like many here, you answer questions with questions or simply ignore the question because your answer would be silly.

I see no purpose in this discussion if you are not willing to answer my question after I answered your question.

Do you understand the difference between the command for water baptism and the analogy of living waters at the well. The analogy of living waters does not negate the need for baptism.
