24 | believing and being born again? | John 3:16 | John Ryals | 227923 | ||
From my research, Basically there are two schools of thought on this matter . One is Calvinism and the other is Armenianism. Both are based on Scripture, but their conclusions diverge dramatically. 'Calvinism emphasizes the Sovereignty of God and His Divine Prerogative. Armenianism stresses man's free will and responsibility. The doctrine of unconditional eternal security accepts the Calvinistic perspective and states that once a person has been saved and accepts the atoning Blood of Jesus Christ, he can never be lost afterward no matter what he might do. The Armenian view is that man has a free will and it is the free will of man that determines his condition. According to his free will, he determined to accept Christ when the Holy Spirit moved on his heart. As well, free will coupled with the Grace of God maintains his position in Christ; however, if he so desires, God forbid, he can, through his free will, elect to cease believing what got him in, which is Faith in Christ and what Christ did at the Cross. If that happens he will revert from a saved condition to a lost condition. | ||||||
25 | Is my friend still going to heaven? | John 3:16 | John Ryals | 227979 | ||
Matthew 6:24 states, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon," (This is flat out, stated as, an impossibility; it is total devotion to God, or ultimately it will be total devotion to the world."Mammon" is derived from the Babylonian "Mimma," which means "anything at all"). May I make another suggestion, You, knowing the provided scripture, and it's exegesis, If you can just get your friend in an enviroment of believers, then just let the Holy Spirit do his work and you can just continue to show 'Love.' Thereby fullfilling the 'Law of Christ'. May God Bless You, John Ryals |

26 | believing and being born again? | John 3:16 | John Ryals | 227983 | ||
Not an argument note just to expound on your final question: "Is more than belief required for one to be saved?" James 2:19 states; You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble. For an explanation of why I shared this with you, there are millions that hold a type of Faith which there is no saving Grace. Simply believing there is a God says no more than what demons believe. "Proper Faith' will accept the Lord as one's Savior. Again, this is not an argumentive statement, just some thoughts to expound on. May God bless You John Ryals |

I must share some of your wisdom with our church members so they may have the chance to increase the visions, in thier hearts, of the Word of God. Again, Thank You so very much.

28 | Actual process? | Romans | John Ryals | 228176 | ||
Hi Sankalpa, Praise the Lord! I've been following your discussion thread and based on your question, I too don,t like he word 'ritual'. If we use the scripture's in 1st Peter, Chapter 5:1-4; this may give some light to your question. It is my believe, that I must lead by example and the Holy Spirit does the rest. As verse 2 states in 1st Peter, Chapter 5, "Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constaint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind," Verse 3, "Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock." I think being a proper example is being a 'True Shepherd'. As for the Baptism, there are three types, the Baptism into Christ, Water Baptism, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Not quite understanding your question as to 'actual process', but if you will reword the question so my simple mind can understand, I would appreciate the discussion fellowship with you. May God Bless You! You stated that you knew how to convert someone to Islam. This means you are well versed in the ways of Islam, Correct? My question, When did you convert to Christianity? With Humbledness, John Ryals |

29 | Difference between one's heart and soul | Rom 8:27 | John Ryals | 230477 | ||
In the first partial of the scripture where it states, "and He who searches the hearts of men know what the mind of the Spirit is," Does not this mean that God searches our hearts and sees through our intentions and if there is a desire placed there by the Holy Spirit,then and only then he hears and answers our hearts desires? Thinking out loud and would appreciate some feedback from you wonderful scholars. | ||||||
30 | Pauls' loss of Salvation | Rom 9:3 | John Ryals | 229795 | ||

31 | Sanctification Process? | 1 Cor 1:2 | John Ryals | 228402 | ||
Thank you for that wonderful explanation and provided study scriptures. I want to see youe explanation to a thought I'm having about 'consecration.' Consecration by Webster's defintion: 'dedicate to a sacred purpose or service.' My thought, Once we are justified through faith, we are sanctified, or set apart. Until this 'setting apart'; Truly, we can't be as informed as we should about the Word of God. Even if we had sat through numerous sermons, or studied for relentless hours; If we have never had that 'Born Again' experience; Would not our understanding come from a 'Humanistic Approach', and not the Holy Spirit's guidance? After true regeneration, we now began our proper journey as we move more towards a 'consecrated life'. So now, would not our forward progression be a sense of being 'consecrated' and not 'Santified'? I can only pray this is understandable, with clarity. If not, please do your best to understand the direction I am being led on this concerned topic. This is a topic I find of disagreement in some of my Bible study groups, and would like to get some feedback from this forum so I may share with them. May the Lord be with you, John Ryals |

32 | How can the Son at the end be subject be | 1 Cor 15:28 | John Ryals | 228449 | ||
God the Father has put all things under the Feet of Jesus. This, in reference of the fact that "all things" do not include God the Father being made subject to Jesus. Verse 28 implies that in Paul's day, this total dominion had not yet been exercised and, in fact, has not done so unto this present hour; but the time will come when it definiely shall be, which will be at the close of the Millennial Reign. Hebrews 1:1-4 | ||||||
33 | How can the Son at the end be subject be | 1 Cor 15:28 | John Ryals | 228556 | ||
Let us all know and understand: there is no "Redeemer" but the Lord! There is One God, manifest in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, Who are all One in essence [ I Cor. 8:6; Eph. 4:3-6; Heb. 1:8; John 1:1-2; 20;28; Acts 5;3-4; II John 3; Acts 2;34]. Also, look at my entry further down in this thread. I pray this is suffice for your question. God Bless, John Ryals |

34 | Is the Holy Spirit Leading? | Gal 5:16 | John Ryals | 227937 | ||
The 'believerschapeldallas.org did not help, are there any other reference books or sites that deal with the subject, 'Am I being led by the Holy Spirit' or; 'Is my direction being led by my flesh with a mask of the Holy Spirit'? | ||||||
35 | Is the Holy Spirit Leading? | Gal 5:16 | John Ryals | 227951 | ||
Hi DocTrinsograce, Sir it's my understanding that(Hebrews 5:11-14), the writer of Hebrews was speaking to Jewish Christians who were slow and sluggish regarding their understanding of the Teachings of New Testament Truth. This made it difficult to teach them. Verse 12 refers to the fact that they had been saved long enough to be mature in the Word by now. ("you have need that one teach you again which is the first principles of the Oracles of God",) pertains to the Old testament and what it really meant, instead of the way it was being erroneously taken by these Christian Jews. I understand and know the benefits of what Jesus did at the Cross, I just want to know if there are any reference books on 'truly knowing' if it is the Holy Spirit leading or if it is my flesh leading with a disguise by me of the Holy Spirit? I remain very mindful moment to moment that there are no private interpretations of the Word of God. 2nd Peter 1:20--- "Knowing this first, that no Prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation." 21---"For the Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." The ending entry of this verse, "but Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit," proclaims the manner in which the Word of God was written and thereby, given unto us.) Still need info! John Ryals |

36 | Is the Holy Spirit Leading? | Gal 5:16 | John Ryals | 227969 | ||
I didn't finish taking the 'Litmus Test' after reading the first part of number one, "The first evidence is sorrow over sin...," As using the 'historical-grammatico' approach I immediately had thoughts of, (Matthew 5:4) "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." I feel I came to a realization of the severity of sin and how it infected me and the whole world years ago,and this brought a type of mourning which God will comfort me from if I remain with my Faith in the finished work of the Cross. Let me see if I can clear this up, I agree with you on the status of the publican because it brought instant results because theplea was based upon the Atonement and not on self-righteousness; every afternoon at 3 o'clock the evening Lamb was offered up as a propitiation for the sins of that day; the Publican pleaded forgiveness and acceptance because of the merit of that atoning blood; it foreshadowed the Atoning Death of the Lamb of God, Who was him self the Propitiation, i.e., the "Mercy Seat". In verse 14 I feel the Publican was declared a righteous man; there are no degrees in Justification; one is either justified totally, or not justified at all! The Pharisee who depended on his self-righteousness was not justified and, therefore, lost! I pray I have not portrayed self righteousness in our online relationship, if I have I apologize in with all sincerity, but; I am trying to find some reference books other than the Bible for a friend who is trying to understand what the Cross is about. So iif you can help I would truly appreciate the assistance. Thank You/May God Bless You John Ryals |

40 | what are the letters to st paul about ? | Phil 2:22 | John Ryals | 228113 | ||
Hello Sadie Louise, My name is John Ryals, and it is a pleasure to be a part of this Bible Study Forum. I enjoy asking questions and giving answers about the 'Holy Bible. Before answering any questions, I always try to research the question, and pray before answering. My point is, I would like to give an answer to your question, but I'm not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking about letters written 'to' Paul, or are you asking about the letters,(epistles)which are written by the Apostle Paul which are accepted into the Holy Bible? |
