    Tradition

    The point is to get people to feel smug in their faith because they are believers... And to try to then argue that they cannot be smug because they are but unjustly gifted by God... And if you believe them, then there is no repentance you can undertake to seek God's Grace... And that is just...

    Great question... Paul wrote to the Church at Corinth... Was he writing to flesh and blood? Could he see all of them? otoh - He was judging Churches and members from a distance as if he were there - No mean Spiritual engagement... So that members of the Church while in the body can...

    Tradition

    ESPECIALLY if it concerns self... Can you yourself KNOW you ARE one of the ELECT? Is it just an internal feeling you have? Can you feel this belief? Or do you just say: "I believe!" and that is how you know? The practical outworking is that there is NOTHING you can DO to seek God... And...

    Tradition

    Menno, thank you for engaging Scripture here. vs 31, using your translation, states: "God exalted Him [Christ] at His Right Hand to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins." What this means is that without this exaltation of Christ at the Right Hand of the Father, repentance and...
