1 | Cornelius - Saved in Acts 10:45 or not? | NT general Archive 1 | disciplerami | 78082 | ||
Dear Tim, Most people on this forum suggest that salvation precedes any work and that works only follow. However, Cornelius was praying and doing good deeds before Acts 10:45. My point, as you must know, was that salvation couldn't have come before Peter started preaching the word of God (unless we want to start contradicting the inspired writer). But he definitely showed he was spiritually discerning before his salvation. I was pointing this to those like Joe! who say spiritually dead means you can't spiritually discern. He's wrong because we have Cornelius example. About the last line in my previous post. Searcher56 just got through telling me "I am wrong in my thought." He attacked a made up argument -- I know of no one to suggest it -- that an unbeliever can praise God. Imagining the conversation: UNBELIEVER: "Hey God, I don't even believe in you, couldn't even tell you why I'm talking to you, but you are awesome and mighty and true!" I don't think anyone has suggested such a scenario. So for Searcher to imply that I have, then tell me that I'm wrong in my thinking, is silly and wrong. I don't mean to be unloving, but he needs to get it right. By the way, does Searcher56 have the power to remove a thread from the main page? Good day, Disciplerami |

Disciplerami ... There are many unsaved people who do good works. Cornelius is an example in the Bible. I believe his prayer was to have someone to be sent to preach the Gospel, so he could hear. God granted that prayer request. Cornelius may have known his alms giving fell short and needed to be saved. All works, or anything, before salvation is rubbish (Php 3:2-11). Searcher |

Yes, Rubbish. But God loved his rubbish as it arose before Him as a memorial. | ||||||
