441 | is there security of the believer | Rom 8:39 | New Creature | 68197 | ||
Thanks Robert Not only is John 15 talking about bearing fruit, but about branches which represent believers, and the possibility of them being cut off, for not bearing fruit. After being cut off the branches not fruit, dry up because the life giving sap no longer flows through them. Then when they become dry and completely withered they are gathered and thrown into the fire and burned. (John 15:2,6) Thats how I see the text, and I believe it is stated pretty clear. Having said that I realize not all will agree with my thoughts. Blessings New Creature |

Robert I respect your thoughts and the time you've taken to respond however this is how I read it. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for awhile believe, and in time of temptation FALL away. (Lk. 8:13 also Mark 4:16-17) Fall in the above verse is the greek word aphistemi, which means to depart, or apostatize from ones once held profession of faith. In the above verse notice: 1. they hear the word 2. they receive the word with joy 3. But they have no root (this refers merely to the shallowness of their faith, or lack of depth) 4. They believe for awhile 5. Then FALL away (they don’t endure to the end) However they were believers for a time who did become apostates Blessings |

Hank Thank you I personally agree with the first half of your statement, but not with the second half. Concerning the sermon on Heb. 6:4-6 from Spurgeon that you recommended. I am familar with it, and have read it several times. But without going into all the details, by no means can I say that I totally agree with everything Spurgeon said in that sermon. Respectfully New Creature |

450 | Who is open to the possibility of a h.s. | Titus 3:6 | New Creature | 64448 | ||
Dear Ray Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13 I believe this is the verse you are referring to In that verse it calls the Spirit of truth a he. My understanding of who the Spirit of truth is, is that this is in reference to the Holy Spirit. It's just another name for the Holy Spirit, just as the word Comforter is also used in Scripture when speaking of the Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit will not teach us untruth, therefore he is the Spirit of truth. He guides our understanding into the correct meaning of the word of God. He helps us to discern truth from error. Blessings |

451 | What do Catholics teach about salvation? | Matt 22:37 | New Creature | 64298 | ||
I will answer your question concerning 1 Pet. 3:21 with a short response kalos gave in response to the same question. I quote from a well written post from kalos because he words it better than I can, and also because I agree with his post concerning that topic. kalos,I hope you don't mind me quoting from you. "Water baptism does not seem to be what Peter has in view in 1 Peter 3:21. The English word "baptism" is simply a transliteration of the Greek word baptizo, which means "to immerse." Baptizo does not always refer to water baptism in the New Testament (cf. Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8; 7:4; 10:38-39; Luke 3:16; 11:38; 12:50; John 1:33; Acts 1:5; 11:16; 1 Corinthians 10:2; 12:13). Peter is not talking about immersion in water, as the phrase "not the removal of dirt from the flesh" indicates. He is referring to immersion in Christ's death and resurrection through "an appeal to God for a good conscience," or repentance." |

Pastor Glenn: I took the liberty to read your profile. In it you stated. "I believe in preaching deliverence, holiness and sactification." Concerning that statement, I would like to ask you a question or two if you don't mind. 1) What is your definition of sanctification, and is it a complete or incompleted act within the believer? 2) What is the difference between holiness and sanctification? blessings New Creature |

453 | Whats up with Judgement, calvinists plz? | Rom 9:21 | New Creature | 61467 | ||
John: One additional note; As I mentioned to JRdoc: when speaking of Calvinist's there are many varities within the Calvinistic camp: There are your typical 5 point Calvinist's and then there are others who I have spoken to who profess to be either 4 or 3 point Calvinist's. Then there are hyper-Calvinist's and Moderate Calvinist's. So even those who PROFESS to be Calvinist's disagree with other Calvinist's. It is the same with Arminian's. Not all Arminian's agree with each other either. In the Arminian camp there also is a variety. You might well reply in response: There is only one true type of real Calvinist. I won't dispute that with you. I have spoken with all sorts, from one end of the spectrum of belief to the other. Nevertheless, God's word, is my final authority. Sola Scripture |

Reformed: Whoa; The opinion I stated, is because of my many conversations with professed Calvinists, none which happen to be in this forum. It has nothing to do with members of this forum. Shalom my friend |

JRdoc: In this reply you said: "All have sinned! Men have a will and sin of their own volition. Without God’s call, election, grace, justification, atonement (etc) men will continue to sin and will be held accountable for the same." So to clear things up I ask you: Do those who are saved still sin? And will they be held accountable for unrepented sin? How about willful habitual sin in the life of a believer. And how about unconfessed sin, in the life of believers. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Rom. 14:12 |

JRdoc: I pretty much agree with this post of yours. I don't find very much to dispute over what you posted. The only thing I might add is that when referring to either Calvinist's or Arminian's I wouldn't classify all Calvinist's into one group. Instead I would say there are Calvinists that disagree with Calvinists, just as there also are different camps within Arminianism. I have spoken to some Calvinist's that claim to be 4 or 3 point, rather than 5 point Calvinists' Some we call hyper-Calvinists, others we might classify as moderate. I think there also are hyper-Arminians and moderate ones as well. Finally I wouldn't call any Calvinist or Arminian as being immature in the word of God. It is before God they stand, it's not my job to judge either. Both are sncere in what they believe. I won't say they are sincerely wrong. While that may be the case, I pray as you do that both sides of the coin of truth may be shown to them. If all I ever saw was the heads side of a coin, then I wouldn't know the truth of there being a tails side to it also. Calvinist's and Arminian's use the same Bible and both can find Scripture to support what they believe. I have even read of those who were once Calvinist and after time spent in God's word, switched over to the Arminian camp. Likewise I have heard of some Arminian's who later switched over to the side of Calvinism. |

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Pet. 3:9 Concerning the Lord's will: His will is that none perish. "none" to me means no one Those who do eventually perish, have only theirself to blame, because they rejected the free offer of eternal life |

"The Bible says Christ takes away the sin of the world and is Savior of the world. A study of the word ‘world’--especially in John, where it is used seventy-eight times--shows that the world is God-hating, Christ-rejecting, and Satan-dominated. Yet this is the world for which Christ died. There is not one place in the entire New Testament where ‘world’ means ‘church’ or ‘the elect,’ as many Calvinists insist. Considering the unequivocal force of such evidence, there is absolutely no logical reason to deny that when the text says ‘world’ it means ‘world,’ and everybody in it." (Grace of God, Will of Man; p. 80.) on John 3:16, Calvin said: ". . . The Heavenly Father loves the human race, and wishes that they should not perish.''11 Concerning the term whosoever in the same verse, he said: "And he has employed the universal term whosoever, both to invite all indiscriminately to partake of life, and to cut off every excuse from unbelievers. Such is also the impact of the term world, which he formerly used; for though nothing will be found in the world that is worthy of the favour of God, yet he shows himself to be reconciled to the whole world, when he invites all men without exception to the faith of Christ, which is nothing else than an entrance into life.'' John Calvin, Commentary on the Gospel According to John (Grand Rapids: Wm. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1949), I, p. 125 . The fact is the limited view was not popularly held until the Synod of Dort (1619) and the Westminster Confession of Faith (1647) long after Calvin’s death "The Term "Limited Atonement" Really Means Limited Love, Limited Grace of God, and So Slanders God, and Is Unscriptural" (source unknown) |

JRdoc; Scripture clearly states: "He died for all" 2 Cor. 5:15 also 1 John 2:2 states And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Does "all" in 2 Cor. 5:15 and elsewhere exclude anyone? When 1 John 2:2 says: "he is the propitiation for our (our those who believe) sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Does "the whole world" in the above verse exclude anyone? The atonement He made was made for "all" the offer of salvation is universally offered to all, but is made actual only for those who receive it by faith. It's not salvation that is universal, only the offer of salvation. God bless you |
