JD, I take it then that you do not believe that life begins at conception. I also take it that you believe an unconceived fetus can somehow contribute to its conception. Regeneration is the infusion of a new life in the heart and spirit of one who is dead in tresspasses and sin. It results in salvation, not a result of salvation or the same as salvation. Notice the verse you posted. Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. The regeneration is a work of the Holy Spirit and moves by the will of God, not of man. John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Man cannot control or gude the Spirit of God. It does not need your permission or approval or help to perform the will of the Father. |

JD wrote: Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I know the time I called upon him for salvation. This is his promise to me. He cannot lie. Tell me why this does not glorify him. JD, what, or rather I ask who brought you to the point that you realized that you needed to call upon the Lord and be saved? |

Neil wrote: Lone Wolf, You must be referring to "Hymns of Grace & Glory." We & a church we frequent have that dark-blue hymnal, which we got by mail from [URL=http://www.emeraldhouse.com]]]Emerald House[/URL] Unfortunately, I can no longer find it there, but I did find one at [URL=http://www.christianbook.com]]]ChristianBook[/URL] The old (blue) [URL=http://www.gcp.org/trinity_hymnals.asp]]]Trinity Hymnal[/URL] would be a good alternative if it weren't sold out. Hi Neil, thanks for the info. I do have "Hymns of Grace and Glory" which I purchased from Faith Free Presbyterian in Greenville, SC. However it does not have all of the Psalms and several songs used at Ballymena and at Ian Pailsey's church. That is the one I was looking for. |

Someone Against Calvinism wrote: The word hate carries the idea of having preference of one over the other (see Luke 14:26). That sounds all fine and good, but how would you reconcile your definition in the following verses.(Psa 26:5) I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. (Psa 31:6) I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. (Psa 101:3) I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. (Psa 119:104) Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. (Psa 119:113) SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. (Psa 119:163) I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. (Pro 5:12) And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; (Amo 5:21) I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. (Amo 6:8) The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. (Zech 8:17) |

Michael Hranek wrote: Lone Wolf Wouldn't this be in accord with the Word of God? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. and therefore quite accurate in terms of salvation. Warm greetings Michael,"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved." YES "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be regenerated." NO Joh 1:13 "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Joh 3:8 "The wind (The Holy Spirit) bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." You and I cannot govern how, when and where the Holy Spirit moves. He is governed only by the will of God, not by man. God is still in control |

Mike wrote: Ok. I did. Your previous post still strikes me as imaginative. The next, anecdotal at best. Ken Lynch, whom Cloud quotes in support writes: "Without conviction there can be no conversion. Without repentance, there can be no regeneration." David Cloud writes: "repentance is a change of mind which results in a change of life" Mike wrote: Do you believe with Lynch that one must be convicted before conversion, Conviction is the work of the Holy Spirir. Without the work of the Holy Spirit, there is no conversion.Mike wrote: and repentant before regeneration? Fundamental baptist equate regeneration with the act of salvation which is inaccurate. They claim that regeneration takes place when you do something to get yourself born again. Mike wrote: Do you agree with Cloud's definition of repentance? Yes, his definition is quite accurate. It means to think differently.μετα (after, again, on) νοησατε (to exercise the mind) Repentance is the thinking again concerning a matter, in the case of a siner, there needs to be a rethinking of sin, a new mindset toward sin.

JD wrote: A wolf that is by himself is a wolf nevertheless, no? I take that as another one of your insults JD and it better stop NOW JD wrote: So, Lone Wolf comes along and presents his own "hard" believism as opposed to easy believism and decalres it beyond the realm of risk even though he cannot give a reason for his being elected or loved by God except the fact that he has embraced the doctrines of grace. That is another blatant lie on your part JD. I have presented scripture, you have chosen not to read them. Scripture tells us to make your calling and election sure (2 Peter 1:10). I have shown you from 1 John how you can know that you have eternal life. If you are saved, you are one of the elect. You are being very dishonest here JD and for someone who calls himself a preacher of the gospel, you are being very disingenuous. Shame on you. Are you now telling us that no one can have the assurance of their salvation? Is your salvation based on something you did for God JD, or something He did for you? |
