Thank you. I will slow down those questions that many would consider divisive and will not pose such question on purpose. However I will not hesitate why asked to state my believes. To deny what I believe in would be wrong. I will not in any event, try to stir up anyone with such questions. It is never my intention to bring division on purpose. This I know. Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour of the world and my personal saviour. Thank God for his mercy and Grace!! One final thought. What are Calvinism and Arminianism. I do not know! |

Thanks, elect, for your prompt response. I'm particularly appreciative of the tone of your post. Responding to your request for information, herewith are links to a trio of articles on Calvinism and Arminianism that may be of some help to you and serve as a brief introduction to these two systems of soteriology. The first discusses the five points of Calvinism, the second Arminianism, and the third seeks to compare the two systems. Let me know whether you found them useful. ..... http://www.gotquestions.org/calvinism.html ..... http://www.gotquestions.org/arminianism.html ..... http://www.gotquestions.org/Calvinism-vs-Arminianism.html ..... Every good wish, --Hank | ||||||

What is soteriology? It is a new word to me and I don't know what it means. And thank you for the web sites. I will read, and get back to you as soon as I have digested the information. | ||||||

Dear GE, In theology the study of salvation is called "soteriology," from the Greek "soteria" meaning "salvation". Salvation can be thought of as synonymous with redemption. It has a past, present, and future components: As Christians we are saved from the penalty of sin, God having brought us to faith in Christ. We are presently saved from the power of sin, by the work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification. Ultimately we will be saved from the presence of sin in glory. Salvation also has initial, progressive, and ultimate aspects. For further details read the posts on the ordo salutis. In Him, Doc "Christian! the only thing that makes you differ from the vilest being that pollutes the earth, or from the darkest fiend that gnaws his chains in hell, is the free grace of God!" --Octavious Winslow "Repentance unto life can only be exercised by a soul after, and in consequence of, its regeneration by the Holy Spirit. God regenerates; and we, in the exercise of the new gracious ability thus given, repent... If genuine, it infallibly springs from regeneration and leads to eternal life." --A. A. Hodge "...the whole purpose of your salvation and mine is that we should glorify the Father. Oh, that we might grasp this! I know that we are all guilty at this point -- and I am as guilty as anyone else -- of tending to think of God and the whole Christian salvation as something to solve our problems. People come and talk to me and it is generally put in that way: 'What will salvation do for me?' they ask. And the answer that is given so often in our evangelism is 'Believe the gospel, and it will do some marvellous things for you.' I say, thank God that that is true, but my dear friends, we should not put that first. The ultimate aim and object of our salvation is that we may glorify God." --Martyn Lloyd Jones |
