1 | When will I speak/pray in tongues? | Acts 2:6 | kalos | 28505 | ||
God's pencil has no eraser. Rev 3:5 "Book of Life." A divine journal records the names of all those whom God has chosen to save and who, therefore, are to possess eternal life ( Rev 13:8; 17:8; 20:12, 15; 21:27,: 22:19; compare Dan 12:1; Luke 10:20). Under no circumstances will He erase those names . . . , as city officials often did of undesirable people on their roles. (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1996) Phil 4:3. "Book of Life." In eternity past, God registered all the names of His elect in that book which identifies those inheritors of eternal life . . . (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1828). When were our names written in the book of life? "From the foundation of the world." Before the first man was ever born, the names of the elect were written in the book of life. Rev 17:8 NASB "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come." Rev 13:8 (NASB) All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. "Lamb slain". The Lord Jesus who died to purchase the salvation of those whom God had chosen was fulfilling an eternal plan. "from the foundation of the world". According to God's eternal, electing purpose before creation, the death of Christ seals the redemption of the elect forever (compare Acts 2:23; 4:27, 28). Antichrist can never take away the salvation of the elect. The eternal registry of the elect will never be altered, nor will the saved in the Antichrist's day worship him. (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 2010) |

2 | When will I speak/pray in tongues? | Acts 2:6 | The Disciple | 28518 | ||
Question: Who are the elect? I ask because if God only wrote the elect in...who is the ones blotted out that we see in other verses? For sake of arguement...i too believe once saved ...always. But I am of the ilk that thinks "God so loved the world..." he wrote all names in the Book...and those who dont come to the saving knowledge are blotted out. Thus, blaspheming the HS. D *SHALOM* |

Discipled: You ask: "who is the ones blotted out that we see in other verses"? May I ask, what are the other verses you are referring to? If you could give me specific chapter and verse references, I will try to address those specific verses. Election defined. "Election is the act of God whereby in eternity past He chose those who will be saved. Election is unconditional, because it does not depend on anything outside of God, such as good works or foreseen faith (Romans 9:16). This doctrine is repeatedly taught in the Bible, and is also demanded by our knowledge of God" (John MacArthur). Another definition of election. "Election is, therefore: the sovereign act of God in grace whereby certain are chosen from among mankind for Himself. John 15:19" (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/ ). For more information on the Bible doctrine of election, click on Search on the upper left-hand part of the homepage. 1) Under Date, leave it blank. 2) Under "were submitted by User" type: kalos. 3) Under "contain these words" type: elect. kalos |

Discipled: I'll help you out a little here. :-) In the entire Bible (KJV) there is a total of 6 verses containing the word "blotted." They are: Ne 4:5; Ps 69:28; Ps 109:13; Ps 109:14; Isa 44:22; and Ac 3:19. The word "blot" occurs once in the NT, in Rev 3:5. For other occurences of the word "blot" in the Bible, use the online concordance located at (http://bible.crosswalk.com/). Pick ONE verse at a time and I will do what I can to answer whatever question(s) you may have. :-) Grace to you, kalos |
