Bible Note: Hello EJJ, Welcome to the Forum. I'm a little unclear as to where you're headed with your terminology:-) Rom 8:30 says, "...and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified." (NASB) After those "He also glorified", I see nothing about "meet(ing) the terms of the gospel"? You say "All things depend upon meeting the conditions of the gospel." What exactly are those conditions? Are you speaking to our salvation or our santification? I note that in Rom. 4:4 we're told, "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." In Heb. 11:8, it says, "By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed..." So, what "conditions of the gospel" are there besides the obedience of faith? It sounds a bit like you're advocating a works-righteousness? Speaking the truth in Love, BradK |
