Bible Question (short): Predestination? gifts w/o fruits? |
Question (full): I have two questions: 1) Is it possible to receive the Holy Spirit gifts without giving fruits first? 2) There seems to be a lot of controversy in interpreting Ephesus 1:5,11 as for predestination. Can you explain to me clearly in a way makes sense to most people, and of course to me? Thank you very much, I will appreciate it a lot, God bless you!! |
