21 | How did Paul understand salvation? | Eph 1:5 | John Pilgrim | 114962 | ||
Dear EDB, I am sorry if you were offended by my willingness reply to another user on the forum. I hate to state the obvious, but, is'nt the purpose of forum such as this a place to reason over and discuss Scripture? I have not obseved any rancour from those whom I've been communicating with. In fact it has been polite christian fellowship. I'm sorry brother Ed, but I think your alarum is not grounded in reality. Have no fear, I am as interested in unity among the family of God as you are. Your brother, John |

Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Dear Brad, If you felt that way about discussing this topic, why did you ask me to answer your questions in the first place? In my own defense (as your post was aimed at me); Neither do I "pretend to be able thoroughly to elucidate the great mysteries of predestination". Did Spurgeon cease to preach the great doctrines of Grace simply because he did not have perfect knowledge of them? No... Should we cease discussing the Trinity just because it is impossible to know it thoroughly! God forbid it. John |

Hi Hank, In the service of the truth, I am compelled to share an excerpt from Spurgeon himself.: One week-night, when I was sitting in the house of God, I was not thinking much about the preacher's sermon, for I did not believe it. The thought struck me, How did you come to be a Christian? I sought the Lord. But how did you come to seek the Lord? The truth flashed across my mind in a moment—I should not have sought Him unless there had been some previous influence in my mind to make me seek Him. I prayed, thought I, but then I asked myself, How came I to pray? I was induced to pray by reading the Scriptures. How came I to read the Scriptures? I did read them, but what led me to do so? Then, in a moment, I saw that God was at the bottom of it all, and that He was the Author of my faith, and so the whole doctrine of grace opened up to me, and from that doctrine I have not departed to this day, and I desire to make this my constant confession, "I ascribe my change wholly to God.". The entire sermon may be found at http://www.spurgeon.org/calvinis.htm |
