141 | Are there any Prophets or Apostles today | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 231344 | ||
Hello sisterbaby, Welcome to the Forum. Reformed theology would hold that Apostolic authority does not get passed on. We have a doctrinal succession, not eclessiastical, so there are no more true apostles. Scripturally, believers are called "saints"- those who are in Christ. (Rom. 1:7, 1 Cor. 1:2, etc) In Jer. 1:4, Jeremiah was consecrated- the primary meaning of this word being 'to consecrate, sanctify, dedicate, prepare'- and it certainly does convey 'to be holy'. I think the far more common term for Christians- at least scripturally- is saints or brethren. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello G Preston, I'm not sure you'll find scripture teaching a pattern of forgiveness? :-) I had found myself in a similar "pattern" years ago that in effect became a vicious treadmill. I was always trying to "get forgiven" instead of walking by faith (2 Cor. 5:7) and walking in the Spirit (Gal. 5:16). Please don't hear what I'm not saying:-) Does God forgive us based upon what we "would have done"? No, rather our forgiveness is based upon what he has done in Christ Jesus. Eph. 1:7 states, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace" (NASB) So, it is (only by) being "in Him" that we have redemption. This redemption is through his blood (shed on the cross), and it is "according to the riches of His grace", not my sense of it or my confession of them! My forgiveness is not conditioned by something I do, rather than what God in Christ has alrady done for me. (Eph. 2:1-9ff) Is this not what scripture teaches? We are imputed the forgiveness, justification and are therefore at peace with God when we believe (Rom. 5:1). This is a sovereign act of God. Forgiveess is imputed to us based upon the all-sufficient atoning death of Christ on the cross for your and my sins (John. 19:30, 1 John 2:2) I would respectfully submit that it not a "common sense thing" as much as it is a biblically based completed work! (I'm not advocating antinomianism by any means) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello G Preston, I'm just curious as to how you'd support this contention from scripture? Would you expand on how God imputes forgiveness to a child and the "age of accountability"? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello G. Preston, As far as your "three things we need to know from the Bible to receive eternal salvation", I'd respectfully disagree. I think we have a very different perspective on what constitutes salvation to begin with:-) Here's why: 1. Repentance. This is certainly part of salvation, but not THE entirety of it. I think you've confused the order (ordo salutis)of salvation. Is not the major aspect of salvation predicated upon faith in the completed work of Christ? (Rom. 4:3, Eph. 2:8-9). Scripture definitely supports this. Note, it is "Faith's Hall of fame" in Hebrews 11, not repentance! There is a difference; 2. Baptism. Does the Bible teach that we must be water baptized to be saved? Church History and a clear majority of those within Orthodoxy would proclaim- as I- that, no it does not! Though this is is continually debated, If it is a requirement for my and your salvation, then we are saved by works! Period! This negates the sufficiency of Christ's atoning sacrifice. We also have something about which to boast (1 Cor. 1:31) What then of Rom. 11:6?; 3. Living righteously. This follows the process of sanctification, but does not nullify the grace of God. We don't live righteously to gain merit, favor or keep our salvation. We live 'the obedience of faith" because of what He did for us.(Eph. 1:3-14) We set ourselves apart because we are new creatures (2 Cor. 5:17). We walk by faith, not sight (2 Cor. 5:7) because we are in Him (En Christo). I believe that one of the single most important motivations to live godly is His grace and our understanding of it: Titus 2:11 "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, Titus 2:12 "instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age",(NASB) Keeping the law as a Christian would seem to be empirically an excercise in futility!If we must keep the Ten Commandments, then again Christ profits us nothing and He died in vain (Gal. 2:16, 21) No, "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes".(Rom. 10:4). "The law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith. But after faith has come we are no longer under a tutor" (Gal. 3:24-25) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello G. Preston, I'm not quite following you:-) My last thought...? We are forgiven according to Eph. 1:7, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace". This is accessed by faith. Your emphasis appears to be upon our performance... what WE do not, what He has already accomplished for us! Our only righteousness comes from being, "in Him" (1 Cor. 1:30) we have no righteousness apart from Christ! Can you summarize your thoughts by or from scripture, so I can better follow? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
