Bible Note: Lookin, Thanks for your input! But surely, you do'nt belive that Paul was unrepentant do you? When Paul left Jerusalem he was breathing curses and bent on rubbing out the Christians in Damascus. After his encounter with our Lord Jesus, we see a transformed man. A man who gives every appearance of having recieved the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Based upon what the Bible teaches in relation to repentance and salvation, I feel I am on solid ground when I say that Paul had been granted the gift of repentance. Forgive me if I have misunderstood your point. Hoppy |
