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 |

173 | Will ALL of Israel be saved? | Revelation | BradK | 231340 | ||
Hello HOTH, I appreciate the discussion. Here's what I'd add for consideration. What John Hagee teaches regarding Israel is what I'd term a "Dual Covenant Theory". He does not believe that Jews even need to be evangelized! They're saved because of their lineage! This is simply counter to the teaching of scripture and is heterodox! He is guilty of preaching another gospel (Gal. 1:8-9). Keep in mind we need to consider what Paul has already said in previous chapters of his argument in Romans. Rom 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; Rom 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; All are under condemnation of sin; both Jews and Gentiles. Then note, Paul's only prayer for unbelievers is for his beloved Israel- Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. Rom 10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. It is for their salvation, not that they are already saved. Next, we see who can be saved and how. Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Rom 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; Rom 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." This most definitely applies to Israel. In understanding Rom. 11:27, here's a couple of perspectives: The Commentary Critical - "26, 27. And so all Israel shall be saved— To understand this great statement, as some still do, merely of such a gradual inbringing of individual Jews, that there shall at length remain none in unbelief, is to do manifest violence both to it and to the whole context. It can only mean the ultimate ingathering of Israel as a nation, in contrast with the present “remnant.” (So THOLUCK, MEYER, DE WETTE, PHILIPPI, ALFORD, HODGE). Three confirmations of this now follow: two from the prophets, and a third from the Abrahamic covenant itself. First, as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall—or, according to what seems the true reading, without the “and”—“He shall” turn away ungodliness from Jacob—The apostle, having drawn his illustrations of man’s sinfulness chiefly from Ps 14:1–7 and Is 59:1–21, now seems to combine the language of the same two places regarding Israel’s salvation from it [BENGEL]. In the one place the Psalmist longs to see the “salvation of Israel coming out of Zion” (Ps 14:7); in the other, the prophet announces that “the Redeemer (or, ‘Deliverer’) shall come to (or ‘for’) Zion” (Is 59:20). But as all the glorious manifestations of Israel’s God were regarded as issuing out of Zion, as the seat of His manifested glory (Ps 20:2; 110:2; Is 31:9), the turn which the apostle gives to the words merely adds to them that familiar idea. And whereas the prophet announces that He “shall come to (or, ‘for’) them that turn from transgression in Jacob,” while the apostle makes Him say that He shall come “to turn away ungodliness from Jacob,” this is taken from the Septuagint version, and seems to indicate a different reading of the original text. The sense, however, is substantially the same in both." Dr. Kenneth Weust offers this- "(11:26, 27) “And thus”—“not merely temporal, but under the influence of the jealousy so excited—under the impression produced on the Jews by the sight of the Gentiles in their fulness peopling the kingdom—all Israel shall be saved” (Denney). By all Israel being saved, Paul means the individual salvation of each member of the nation Israel living at the time of the second Advent. Zechariah (13:1) predicts this cleansing of Israel from its sins in the words, “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness.” This individual cleansing from sin will be followed by a national restoration to the Messianic kingdom with Messiah reigning on the throne of David in Jerusalem as King of kings and Lord of lords for one thousand years." [Wuest, K. S. (1997). Wuest's word studies from the Greek New Testament] The verses in Matthew and Luke are speaking about the future millenial kingdon, but presume an already regenerate (hence saved) individual. I hope this helps, BradK |

Hi HOTH, We know that scripture doesn't teach Universalism and we also should know there's not Two salvations; One for Israel and One for the Gentiles. So, I think we need to understand this text within the analogy of scripture. It must be consistent with the rest of God's Word (John 3:16, etc). I would see Paul's reference to those of "believing Israel". It would seem Paul does not want the Gentiles to have a haughty or superior attitude toward faithless Jews. Despite what John Hagee has promoted, Israel doesn't "get a Pass" because they are Jewish. They too must 'believe on Him whom He has sent' (John 6:29) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

177 | Does God Need us like we need Him? | Acts 17:25 | BradK | 231234 | ||
Hi Christy, I'd echo Doc's comments. Keep in mind, the major problem with this theology of Kenneth Hagin is it exalts man and places God in subjection to us! It denies- if not outright- the Sovereignty of God and is therefore man-centered, not God-centered! It is not Biblical in it's foundations. As A.W. Pink so eloquently comments is his work, The Attributes of God, "God is solitary in His excellency. "Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" (Ex. 15:11). God was under no constraint, no obligation, no necessity to create. That He chose to do so was purely a sovereign act on His part, caused by nothing outside Himself, determined by nothing but His own mere good pleasure; for He "worketh all things after the counsel of His own will" (Eph. 1:11). That He did create was simply for His manifestative glory. God is no gainer even from our worship. He was in no need of that external glory of His grace which arises from His redeemed, for He is glorious enough in Himself without that. At the end of Romans 11, where the apostle brings to a close his long argument on salvation by pure and sovereign grace, he asks, "For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?" (vv. 34,35). The force of this is, it is impossible to bring the Almighty under obligations to the creature; God gains nothing from us." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Bill, What does this have to do with you being here on the SBF under false pretenses? You are in open disragard of the Terms of Use! You are not being forthright with others here on this Forum. Here where I live that's called deceitfulness. Sir, please cease and desist your involvement here on the Forum. You are shameful in your conduct! BradK |

Hi Bill, I strain to continue any further dialog with you until you are forthcoming about your connection to Inquisitor. Remember him? I know you do. You are not being honest about your identity or if you've ever had a previous account revoked by Lockman. What does the Terms of Use say? MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY You agree that The Lockman Foundation without notice, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account (or any part thereof) or any use of The Restricted Area, and/or bar any further access to such files or the Forum, and/or remove and/or discard any Postings within The Restricted Area, for any reason. If your account is terminated you may not re-register under a different user screen name. Further, you agree that The Lockman Foundation shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to any part of The Restricted Area." How can you so blatantly ignore this? Bill, part of our conduct as Christians has to do with our relationship to others. Some of it has to do with following the rules as set forth by various organizations, like Lockman. Are you going to tell me that lying is OK with you? Are you going to tell me that re-registering as Bill Richardson when you've posted and been revoked as Inquisitor is acceptable conduct? How so? Bill, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I implore you to be open and honest about all these things. Stop the lying, deceptive re-registration and ignoring multiple requests from your Forum poeers to come clean. This is what I think you should be dialoging about my friend, AND NOTHING LESS. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Doc, I think Inquisitor was too. He complained about using the term Campbellite, "That's the second time I've noticed someone referring to a group (Campbellites) in a derogatory fashion. Does the Forum actually condone this behavior? What did these peopole do to incur such bitter hatred? Are they just christians on the conservative or possibly the liberal side of the spectrum? Someone, please explain this to me. I'll be so appreciative." BradK |
