Subject: Debate Arminian/Calvinist views? |
Bible Note: "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world..." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hank: You write: "One is pressed in today's world to accept one label or another, and if he refuses to do so, along will come the label makers and slap one on him anyway." How very true! If I am an advocate of neither Calvinism nor Arminianism, then what do I believe? I believe: NASB Ephesians 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. AMPLIFIED Ephesians 1:4 Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. NASB 2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
