Thanks Dr. Phil for explaning it a little bit better than my post. Salvation begins with God and ends with God. He is the author, that means the creator and the finisher, the completer of our faith. So everything begins and ends with him.People like JD claim that he has the power of his freewill to break the bondage of sin because it is not a literal bondage in the sense of slavery. I give Michael a little bit more credit, he doesn't seem to follow that teaching, but doesn't really understant the total depravity of man and the necessity of God's intervention before anyone can be saved. He doesn't understant the difference between election and final salvation. Once you get a handle on terms like election, calling, regeneration, justification, the rest falls in place. They are all biblical terms, not invented by the Calvinist. Anyway, I think Michael sincerely is seeking the truth and has a sweet, teachable spirit unlike Casob, JD, Yamil et al. |

Scripture is pretty clear that either your name is written down in the Lamb;s Book of Life from the foundation of the world or it is not.Rev. 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev. 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Rev. 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. For those who think they get their name written down in the book of life when the make a decision for Christ, it might sound good, but it ain't bible. |

Casob wrote: You did not say anything about any drawing in your testimony. You said you repented and received the free gift of salvation. Yes I did. Reread it. The friend planted the seed. He relied on the Holy Spirit to draw the sinner. You only have 1300 characters to explain. Sorry it wasn't exhautive enough for you.How did you receive it? BT FAITH Are you now changing your testimony? NO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE ONE OF HIS? What verse in Scripture assures you that you are and if you can repent and be saved after hearing the gospel, then anyone can repent and be saved after hearing the gospel? In fact, they are commanded to! Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Acts 16:31, Mark 1:15, You wrote God has already done it for you. So, you are saying you did not receive Christ into your heart? Would that be an accurate statement, please? I have the Spirit of Christ and of God indwelling in my heart as the scripture says. Now let me ask you, how do YOU know that YOU are saved and born of God? |

Casob wrote: This does not explain how you know you are one of the few elect. Maybe not to you but to those who are born of God it does.Casob wrote: If you could react to the Scriptures this way, then anyone could with the same results. Let me put it this way, if you have come savingly to Christ in repentance and faith, you are one of his elect.He does not draw those who are none of his. Casob wrote: Are you saying Jesus is not in your heart or that you just did not receive him into your heart? His spirit indwells me. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 1 Cor. 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Gal. 4:6 And because ye are sons, (present tense) God hath (past tense) sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. God has already done it for you. Show me one place in scripture where one is commanded to pray to invite Jesus into his heart to be saved. |

Casob, dispensationalist intimate that Jesus made an OFFER to the Jews to be their earthly king, but was rejected. When and where do we read that he then made the same offer to the Gentiles?He came to seek and to save that which was lost. He came to save his people from their sins. Did he fail in his purpose? He did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. That is the gospel you reject. You have been duped by the Pauline gospel cult that rejects the gospel of Christ and preach the gospel of Paul only. They are both the same. Christ preached his death, burial and resurrection in his gospel. There is only one gospel. |

DJC49,I don't think Elkin was trying to be smart here, but merely indicating that whether you believe that Christ was crucified on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday is really irrelevent, but do you believe on the resurrected Christ and gave his testimony for the hope that he has. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: For the record, I hold to a Thursday crucifixion. Since he arose very early morning on the first day of the week which corresponds to our Sunday, backing up 3 nights and 3 days. Saturday 6PM to Sunday 6AM = one night. Saturday 6AM to Saturday 6PM = one day Friday 6PM to Saturday 6AM = two nights Friday 6AM to Friday 6PM = two days Thursday 6PM to Friday 6AM = three nights Thursday 6AM to Thursday 6PM = three days. So positing a Thursday afternoon crucifixion would fulfill the prophetical three days and three nights as well as resurrecting on the third day. Neither Weednesday or Friday would hit in that scheme. |

DJC49 wrote: Oh, I get it ... Proverbs 1:22-33 was written specifically to show GOD'S accusatory opprobrium against those who believe in election!!! Great exposition, Casob! And thanks for the enlightenment! This guy is UN-be-lievable, man. (Picture me shaking my head in disbelief) Like this.

Mike wrote: Why do you hold that Christ must have failed if He died that all might be saved, but not all will be? Has man no responsibility for loving his sin more than he loves God? Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he SHALL save his people from their sins. 1. It does not say that he will try to save his people, it says that he SHALL save HIS people. 2. He gave his life for His sheep. He was given a perticular flock by the Father to redeem. 3. Christ loved the CHURCH and gave himself for it. Here again, he gave his life for a particular group of people. He accomplishes whatever he set out to do as it was the will of the Father. Christ would have failed if he didn't accomplish his mission. He secured the salvation of his people. He didn't make it available and left the results up to man. He made it secure and left the results up to God. I encourage you to listen to John Greer's sermon this past Sunday on the parable of the sower. It will help you to understand the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation. |
