1 | What exactly must a person to be saved? | Bible general Archive 1 | Reformer Joe | 79766 | ||
"You call me antinomian? Like I'm against God's law? What law do you believe in? I don't see John Piper in the Bible. I don't see Jerry Bridges in the Bible. I don't see Charles Spurgeon in the Bible. I don't see J.C. Ryle in the Bible. I don't see Westminister Catechism in the Bible." And I don't see inhisname in the Bible either. So the question is whether the above mentioned individuals or you are accurately portraying the Biblical view. "I quoted Bible and don't think I should be attacked by these people." Don't panic. Since all of the people I quoted, with the exception of Bridges and Piper, are at home with the Lord now, I don't think any of them are attacking you. "I gave you Paul." You gave me one verse of Paul, which I contend you misunderstand. I have given you a lot more of Paul than you have given me (as well as several other inspired authors of Scripture), and you have ignored every single passage, choosing instead to repeat your same mistaken assertions. "I don't need writings of man to define what I believe." But you are in need of teachers to help you understand Scripture better. Your claim that the doctrine of election completely eliminates our obedience is simply false, as the authors and theologians and preachers that I quoted adequately demonstrate. And if you take the "all I need is me, the Holy Spirit, and my Bible approach," you again are in error. God gave you the church and its teachers for a reason. --Joe! |

If theologians and authors and preachers accurately teach faith only I'll listen. But if they then teach, btw, you must do obedience, then they are contradicting. I'm different as a Christian but I'm not working. I don't need to. God does it. If it was me then it wouldn't be to God's glory, it would be to mine. I don't have faith, it is God's faith. Everything is God's. Isn't that what Ephesians 2 says? I think so. |

"If theologians and authors and preachers accurately teach faith only I'll listen." The Reformers, to whom we owe the restoration of "faith alone" to the church, spoke out vehemently against your views. I am talking about Martin Luther and John Calvin. "Isn't that what Ephesians 2 says? I think so." Well, you think wrong. --Joe! |

You are working too hard. Let the Spirit work. It's not about your power to persuade, it is God's power. You should show some faith. | ||||||
