Dear John, The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear! The Lord is the strength in my life, of whom shall I be afraid! What a very interesting post!

Brother John Reformed, Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD! Praise ye the LORD! Thank you for posting that hymn. I've sung it meself several times but never really took time to understand it, until now. I've read your posting to me 4 times now. I've read Romans 9,10,11 twice through, very slowly so I could absorb it. I've listened to Romans 8,9,10,11 in my car, I have the KJV on CD, on the way to the office and I will listen on the way home. You post "Nevertheless God preordains what soever happens." and "Every one who God elected unto salvation from the beginning will be saved." I have 2 questions that are presented to increase my understanding and not to challenge you, and, certainly not the LORD my GOD. 1 Does God change his plans along the way? 1 Chr 21:15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was about to destroy it, the LORD saw and was sorry over the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now relax your hand." And the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. Amos 7:6 The LORD changed His mind about this. "This too shall not be," said the Lord GOD. Jonah 3:10 When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it. 2 Would you please give more detail, if possible, on your interpretation of Romans 9? If I understand correctly from the point you made in your post, God is raising up the anti-Christ for His purpose as he did pharaoh, and, God raised up satan for His purpose. Scripture reference would help. I must go out of town tomorrow on business so I will look for your posting on Friday 3/22. Always your brother in Christ Jesus, my Savior and my Lord. I love Him!

Dear Brother John, All praise and glory and honor be to GOD our Father who created all things for His pleasure! While I have breath, I shall praise the LORD! Thanks for the welcome back. Congradulations on the new addition to your family! God blessed us with a new grand daighter 4 months ago. Being a grandparent is a true blessing! I have enjoyed sharing with you on this subject, in fact, I continued on in the Word of GOD and recieved more understanding through the Word (Eph. 1:3,4,5) and your posts, of the which I thank you for. Thank you for taking time with me on this. You are a true brother in Christ. I've reached a new level of convidence and boldness in the Holy Spirit that I had not known before through this discussion. Not confidence in myself, God forbid! for there is no confidence in the flesh, but the confidence that God is in control and has predestinated everything! There is apsolutely nothing that He does not know or see or hear, and, that He has not preordained. Lord please forgive me of any former doubts, I do repent! Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Eph 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love Eph 1:5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, Thank you again my brother. I eagerly look forward to sharing further with you on the forum in other areas. I'm so glad that I'm a part of the family of GOD, joint heirs with Jesus, cleansed by His blood. Praise be GOD, and to His Son Jesus Christ whom He predestined to die for our sins. God's blessings to you and your family. Always, your brother in Christ, Cyclist |

Ray, Through the storms of life, I shall praise Him! When in the valley, I shall praise Him! When I suffer loss, I shall praise Him! As long as I have breath, I shall praise Him! Praise the name of the Lord! Sorry for the late response to your post. I got tied up. I am in the midst of a few projects for my employer that require a lot of my attention. I am truely open to the idea that you presented, our spiritual praises are the reflection of the Spirit of the living God. I pray to Him daily that He fill me more with His Holy Spirit. Blessings in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

sniper, Praise the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who thought not of His own life but gave His body a sacrifice for our sins! Blessed be the lamb of God forever! First of all thank you for allowing me the opportunity to enter the discussion. A few of us members "hashed" this subject out a few months ago. You may want to do a quick word search and see the postings. I had, and still have, difficulty accepting the fact that no where in the word of the Lord our God is there a verse that reads "All those little children who do not yet understand, or those mentally ill that are not able to understand the preaching of the gospel that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, died for their sins, and rose from the dead shall enter the kingdom of God." Search cover to cover sniper. You will not find it. Oh how I wish it were there! Believe you me I dug out every verse I could find or think of in the debate so that I could have closure in my spirit that infants/babies and little children enter the kingdom of God. The Lord my God has blessed me, as well as many others I'm sure, with a heart that loves and at the same time has a burden for children. A burden which I am very happy to bear. I weep for them. When I see a child no matter where I am my heart reaches out to them and I pray for them in my heart immdiately. Although there is not a verse found like the one I mentioned above, I am comforted by these. John 14:13 "Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 16 John 14:14 "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. I ask the Lord our God in the name of Jesus to forgive the sins of infants/babies and little children. Luke 23:34 But Jesus was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." ......... I pray that the Lord our God forgive and have mercy on these little ones for they know not what they do. Mark 3:28 "Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 18 Mark 3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"-- Does an infant/baby or a toddler have the ability to knowingly blaspheme the holy spirit? John 20:23 "If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained." I wondered about this verse, but, as it was pointed out to me by an elder "We do not forgvie unto salvation. Only the Lord can do that." AMEN to that! Hope this helps sniper. By the way, how about filling in your personal profile. Always a brother in Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

sniper, I will sing of the glory of my Lord who is Christ Jesus the wonderful counselor and prince of peace! Praise His holy name forever! First of all, are you looking for an argument? You write "Forgiveness is dependent on each person repenting and asking for forgiveness." It appears as if you have answered your original question for yourself. Second, I am not very good at debating or arguing. Third, You write "I think that you have applied these verses out of context." As Paul writes "1 Cor 4:3 But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. 1 Cor 4:4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord. 1 Cor 4:5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God." Lastly, I will gladly receive correction from one that has proven to me that they are an elder to me in Christ Jesus. You have not as yet done so. Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

disciplerami, I will praise the Lord my God for His mercy endures forever! I will praise the Lord my God for He loved me and provided salvation for me at the cross of Calvary! Blessed be His name forever! Please re-read my post and note that I wrote that I am not very good at arguing or debating. In reading through your posts, the total being 216 when I looked, it appears that you are very good at debating. I would humbly ask that you let me respond to sniper and do not attempt to drag me into a debate. However, I do understand that this is a public forum and you are entitled to enter any discussion you desire, and, I would welcome comment from you on any one of my posts so long as it is for the purpose of edification and not for the sole purpose of debate. 1 Cor 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? Blessings in Jesus name, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

sniper, I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever! With my hands lifted up, thanksgiving in my heart, and my mouth filled with praise, I will bless the Lord my God! Blessed be His name forever! You write "I had intended to make a response, but I have just read Disciplerami's reply to your post. Disciplerami's post is a better reply than I would have made." If you are interested in reading it, I did respond to him. You write "I would like you to support your assertion that correction can only be received if it is from an elder in Christ." See the scripture below. You'll probably again think that I am taking this "out of context", but, you will notice in my previous post, your opinion of my interpretation of scripture or the context is a small matter to me. 1 Pet 5:5 You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; All of that being said, I would like to ask if it is too late to start over with you and say WELCOME to this forum! I have been part of this forum for one year now and have learned much about the word of the Lord our God! This is a great place to study and discuss God's holy word. Please forgive me for an apparent harsh response and please read through some of my previous posts and know that I am not usually that way. I'm experiencing some health problems that have angered me because I cannot function the way I normally do and probably let that bleed through when posting. That is no excuse though. I should of refrained from responding, and, probably not entered this discussion at all. I love it here on the forum and do the best I can to greet every new member I respoond to in the loving spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. Again, Forgive me. Col 3:6 For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, Col 3:7 and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. Col 3:8 But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. Always you brother in Christ Jesus, Cyclist (David) I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

sniper, Praise Him from the mountain tops! Praise Him from the valleys! Praise Him from the bottom of the seas! Let the praise of the Lord our God be heard throughout the earth! Praise the name of the Lord! I agree with you that we have a responsibility to check everything against scripture. No, I do not belive that we should follow the teachings of all older men just because they are older. The way I understand it, Peter is writing to the churches just as all the others; Paul, James, Jihn, and the author of Hebrews. To me Peter is speaking to the younger men in the body of Christ about the older men in the body of Christ. I believe in my previous posting I wrote "elder in Christ", Did I not? I still regret ever entering this discussion but I love little ones so much that when I see anything posted to the forum that asks of their salvation, I just cannot help but jump in somewhere. I think, no, I know that I have learned my lesson this time. I will continue to pray to the Lord my God for them (see the scriptures below). I'M NOT AT ALL DECLARING THAT MY PRAYERS WILL SAVE CHILDREN, no, only God can do that. From the discussions I've had in the past, I do not think that it is for me to know the exact answer. If I did maybe I would have been too relaxed in teaching my little ones about Jesus. I started talking to my daughter and my grandchildren about Jesus Christ and God our Father the very first time I saw them which was the day they were born. I did also and still do pray for them and all other shildren as well. I will continue to pray to my father for children without ceasing, but, I always end with "Not my will but your will be done." Not that He needs me to say it, I just know that His will is perfect. Luke 11:5 Then He said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves; Luke 11:6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; Luke 11:7 and from inside he answers and says, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.' Luke 11:8 "I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs. Luke 11:9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Luke 11:10 "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. Luke 11:11 "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Luke 11:12 "Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?" Blessings to you sniper! Always your brother in prayer and praise and in Christ our Lord, David (Cyclist) I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

drummergirl, No need to apologize, I have gotten carried away with my emotions when posting to the forum and have had to be broguht back to my senses. I and probably others have, and still are, experiencing the same problem as you. It is very frustrating! Especialy if it is some one close to us. Here's some more scripture for you: 1 Cor 5:1 It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife. 1 Cor 5:2 You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst. 1 Cor 5:3 For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present. 1 Cor 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 1 Cor 5:5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Tim 1:18 This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight, 1 Tim 1:19 keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. 1 Tim 1:20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme Heb 10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Heb 10:32 But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings, Heb 10:33 partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated. Heb 10:34 For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one. Heb 10:35 Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. Heb 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. Heb 10:37 FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY. Heb 10:38 BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM. Heb 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul. In Him, Cyclist |

178 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | Cyclist | 73222 | ||
Dear Hank, It is good to give thanks to the Lord and sing praises to our God! Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forever more! The Lord our God alone is worthy of all praise! I've only read a few posts from this thread. WOW! It is getting a little HEATED! I'm wondering about those that were on this earth prior to Jesus first coming. These were saved because of their faith in Him. You know, Abraham, Issac, Jaccob, Joshua, Caleb, Elijah, Iasah, David, Moses, and all the other prophets. I wonder, and I am NOT trying to be "CUTE", I take the discussion of the Holy Word of the Lord our God very seriously, I wonder if they were baptized after the fact. I mean, maybe they have been baptized in water where they are at now. What do you think dear brother? David (Cyclist) I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Dear Bother John, I will praise the name of the Lord Jesus Christ forever! I will lift up my hands and my voice to my Savior! I will love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strengh! Praise the Lord Jesus! I went to the the web sight that you reffered me to. As I'm sure you know of me already brother John, I have not really read any theology before, so, it was, and is, a new experience for me. In fact I'm sure that you've seen me write before that I am described in this verse:(1 Cor 1:26 For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;), and I like this verse too:(1 Cor 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.) With all of that being said, I still have no other thoughts on the question; you had asked me in a prior post on this thread if I had any. I do, however, have a some thoughts/comments on the doctrine you are introducing me too. Please forgive me here if I have strayed away from the original question. My thoughts/comments are these, keep in mind, I am in no way speaking out against or being judgemental of this doctrine; I do not know enough about it. To me the doctrine is bitter/sweet. Bitter because when I think of my Grandchildren and the loving times we have together in singing songs to the Lord and sharing stories from God's Word, and, the time I spend in continual prayer for them, and others as well, sometimes weeping for them. As I understand this doctrine, that all of this may be just a waste of emotion and time really hurts. Sweet because I know without a doubt that the chosen ones of God will enter His kingdom to be with Him forever. Your brother in Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
