    Are We Saved by Grace or Decision?

    So why isn't everyone saved? (If it is 100% based on God and 0% based on anything else.) Doesn't God want everyone to be saved? (It is easy to mock Arminians for rejecting Soli Deo Gloria, but are you prepared to give an answer to their hard questions.)

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Neither has a single verse been posted that any baptism recorded in scripture was ever performed on a single baby. Not even one. But just to humor you, here are two verses that say you SHOULDN'T baptize babies: Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    You failed to prove your point. You have, in Lutheran terms, conflated Grace and Law. You have proven God CAN and DOES do something in the physical realm (Law) and claimed that as proof that God MUST also do so in the spiritual realm (Grace). Does God force people to love him against their...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    If anyone really wants to discuss Wesslyian Arminianism, here is what they believe in their own words: Wesley and the early Methodists were particularly concerned about inviting people to experience God’s grace and to grow in their knowledge and love of God through disciplined Christian living...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    Both, actually. First, a quick statement of where I come from. I learned of the existence and love of God ... being transformed rather unwillingly, yet not disagreeably as a result of exposure to some passionate Catholic Charismatics with more courage than sense. I had the thimble full of...

    Are you saved? And if so, by whom and/or by what?

    Actually, they are not really important questions to this particular topic: "Are you saved?" You of all people should appreciate that the beliefs of the elect on who made the first move and where the line between justification and sanctification is drawn by men has no authority on the decisions...

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    Since it is Easter Weekend and I grow weary of the banter on transunstantiation and mysteries and there is much insistence on getting back to the topic. I would like to contribute, not to the argument on Catholic vs Lutheran doctrine, but to the original question ... the title of this topic...

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    Josiah You know, if you keep on ranting against the RCC, Jesus will probably give you a mansion surrounded by Roman Catholic neighbors. :) Sooner or later we will all need to learn to get along (and that the Reformed Baptists were correct about Theology :bible: and the Pentecostals were correct...

    You are Known by Your Fruit

    Let's talk about barren women. However, just for fun, let's talk about what the Bible (God) actually has to say on the subject: Exodus 23:20-26 [NIV] “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and...

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    Which verses in what translation are you looking at? (I am not looking to jump into this fight, but when I did a word search I found that the translation mattered a lot in how the two verses I locate on Matthew and Mark were worded, and there is a verse in Luke that appears to say something...

    stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God

    Fair enough. So scripture may be closed, but you object to the statement that Jesus is not appearing to commission more Apostles (as he commissioned Paul). I acknowledge it as a theoretical possibility, but one that would require extraordinary proof if one were to claim the office of Apostle.

    stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God

    I restricted nothing, but simply offered a range of thoughts. The passage WAS written by an Apostle to a Church. Do you believe that modern Apostles (sent like Paul) are still adding books to the bible? If you have an objection, you will need to be more specific. If you believe that it should...

    stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God

    Hypothetically, if you made a taco and shaped it into a taco bowl shape and while you were baking it, the taco refused to stay in the bowl shape and the resulting mess was incapable of being used as a bowl to make a taco salad, what would be an appropriate response for you, the chef, towards a...

    stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God

    Ok, that makes a difference. Then it is Paul (the Apostle) and Sosthenes ("our brother"), the writers of 1 Corinthians who should be thought of as Christ's servants entrusted with the mysteries of God. The people who should be 'entrusting' them are the believers in Corinth to whom the letter...

    Yes. Deuteronomy 30:19 [NKJV] I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; John 3:18-21 [NKJV] “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who...
