21 | Reformers Say God's Mot. Of Salvatation? | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215398 | ||
What is Reformed Theology? Reformed theology... ...presupposes God's Word alone as our ultimate authority. ...stresses the sovereignty of God, that is, His reign over all things, meticulously determining (Eph 1:11) all that comes to pass (i.e. God is never taken by surprise). ...ephasizes a Christ-Centered proclamation of the gospel, that salvation is wholly of God, by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone as revealed in the Scripture alone to the Glory of God alone. ...views the Bible as a redemptive-historical organic unfolding of revelation which is structured by three covenants (redemption, works and grace). It goes without saying that those in the Reformed Tradition hold to the doctrines of grace (the five points of Calvinism), man's helpless condition apart from Christ, the necessity of evangelism and the work of the Holy Spirit who (monergistically) quickens the dead to life through the preaching of the word as God turning their heart of stone to flesh, and opening their eyes to the excellencies of the gospel (uniting them to Christ). In other words, RT stresses the way the objective, written Word together with the inner, supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit work together. For the Word without the illumination of the Holy Spirit remains a closed book. We (the church) cast forth the seed of the gospel and the Holy Spirit germinates it, so to speak, with the blood of Christ bringing forth life in people from every nation, tribe, language, and people (Rev 14:6). RT traces its historical and theological lineage back to the theology of Christ, Paul, Augustine and to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th Century.

23 | Amazing Grace! | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215210 | ||
We started the service off with a baptism and ended it with 6 coming forward. I think all were there to profess what they had received (Salvation). Praise God! There was so much going on I never did hear it all. As a commitment counselor I was working with a young lady and her Father that had come forward so I missed out on some of the details of the rest. It's always a blessing to witness the work God is doing in the hearts of His people! Steve |

Greetings strts5! It is an interesting conversation on the passage! Your post does not reflect what the scripture actually says. The scripture does say "no one understands" in reference to the tongue being spoke. However, it does not say "It is an unknown language". I also do not believe that you will find in scripture anywhere that "glossa" referring to the gift is ever used to reference an "unknown language" (i.e. as if unknown to mankind). If it is please point it out for me :-) It may be that those of the Corinthian church might not have "known" the tongue but neither would a room full of English speaking people who didn't understand French if you were there praying in French. That does not mean it is an unknown language unless we are only referring to it being unknown to the English speaking people in the room. Steve |

Greetings justme! Not all Pentecostals believe you "must" speak in tongues. Perhaps you did not intend to insinuate that "all" Pentecostals do believe this? Steve |

Vintage, As a follow-up... The reason I point this out is due to the original question by bibleman12. He and/or his question at least seems to be trying to reconcile sin and why it's not considered sin that God tempted Abraham with. In his question you can see that from the start the view is tilted in that it has the understanding of God telling Abraham to "kill" his son. That is not what the scripture say but to our sin tainted minds/hearts we are easily lead astray by the simplest of words and/or deceit. So if we set out to reconcile this with the view that God told him to kill his son we are on the wrong road right from the start. Further complication is introduced when we seek to justify God through some technicality such as there was no law against murder when God told Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. Obviously you only have the written law in mind to make such a statement. The view skews reality and insinuates that murder was only a sin after the written law was established. That's a reverse of what is actually true. Murder has always been sinful. The example of Cain should help us understand that. Sin did not become sin because of the written Law! So if splitting hairs is what we need to do to gain an accurate understanding let's all split hairs so that we all might gain a proper understanding of His word! I'm okay with it! Some times I need others to split hairs for me :-) Again, from the scripture you used it clearly teaches there is no transgression of the law and that sin is not imputed. Neither verse you point to says there is no sin. Steve |

bibleman, We do know God cannot be tempted with evil nor does He tempt anyone (James 1:13). This is clear teaching in the scriptures. This verse alone should teach you that your heart and mind are in conflict with what the word is teaching you regarding Abraham and Isaac if you view it as an act of evil. Genesis 22:1 (NASB) Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." Hebrews 11:17-19 (NASB) 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; 11:18 it was he to whom it was said, "IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED." 11:19 He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type. Clearly, God tested Abraham! He did not tempt him with evil as you see it. If you cannot reconcile the difference you will continue to stumble over it. The test was Abraham's obedience... Genesis 22:12 (NASB) He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." And something to keep in mind. God was not surprised by what Abraham did. Abraham was the one being tested and it was Abraham who proved to God that he would be obedient even if it meant sacrificing his son. God then reminded Abraham of His promise/blessing because of his obedience. The test was not so God could find out what Abraham would do! The test was so that Abraham would find out what he would do. It was to strengthen Abraham's faith. Steve |

No one has stated that "a" result of a burnt offering does not lead to death. The fallacy is saying that "When God told Abraham to kill his son". You are attempting to reconcile something that is not even accurate. In other words, you start off your search to reconcile based on the fact killing is a sin and as you put it, God told Abraham to kill his son. Let me ask you this, was the test to see if Abraham would kill his son as you put it or was it to test Abraham's obedience? Steve |

Well, Great! I too believe what the bible says and think it essential we express it properly. Something I constantly work on myself but have failed at more then once :-( Where does the bible say "where there is no law there is no sin" ? It says there is no transgression (Romans 4:15). The sin is not imputed (Romans 5:13). Steve |

Greetings bibleman12! First, and most important to keep in mind, doing ANYTHING God commands is not sin but rather obedience! The reverse is sin! Genesis 22:1 (NASB) Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." God was not tempting Abraham, he was testing his faith. Would Abraham be obedient? God told Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering not to "kill" him (Genesis 22:2). If indeed there was any temptation, it would have been Abraham's own heart to disobey God's command. James 1:13-15 (NASB) 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. To fear God means to reverence Him as sovereign, trust Him implicitly, and obey Him without question. A true worshiper of God holds nothing back from God but obediently gives Him what He asks, trusting that He will provide. —Bible Knowledge Commentary Steve |

robert11567, We seem to have many who stop by this forum and ask what appears to be homework questions. Your questions would lead me to believe this is in fact one of those homework questions. Not only do you ask the question but you point to the specific verses the answer is found in. This then appears you did not even bother reading the verses to see what the answer is. If you read the verses of scripture you referenced in your questions that answer is clearly there. I want to encourage you to read God's word yourself first and see if you can find the answer. You will be blessed by God Himself if you spend time reading His word. God speaks to us through His word so if you do not take the time to read it, guess who you are not listening to and/or not hearing from? Steve |

Dear lookinforacity, matt1078, Nevvvvine, KcabmI4, and who ever you may log onto this forum as next, I would encourage you to prayerfully consider the passage of scripture below. Pay close attention to verse 6, 7 and 9! 1 John 1:5-9 (NASB) 1:5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
