    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism.

    Why would that make salvation be "universal?" But surely you recognize that this begs the question as to why doing good all though one's life would get you anything if there were no one who took account of those deeds, approved them, and rewarded the person doing them! That's because belief...

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    I don't believe that. You were already aware of Christianity as everyone growing up in our society is. That it may, more or less suddenly, have made sense to you is not what we were talking about.

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    No, he's saying that it doesn't matter what nation the converts come from. God isn't a 'respecter of persons', meaning He's not exclusive to any particular race or nationality, so long as the converts believe in Christ. Jesus had already directed his Apostles to go into all nations, preach, and...

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    Peter was speaking to people familiar with the God of the Jews. They had all the background necessary to understand about Jehovah God, the Messiah, etc.

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    How come we never hear of people living in remote areas of the world which are not Christian and who have never met a missionary or read a pamphlet dealing with Christ who suddenly are convinced that he must be the one true God?

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    Who, exactly, believes "spontaneously" in something that has not been presented to him by any outside source?

    What now for Republicans?

    Why can't you appreciate that some administrations succeed and others fail? This administration is one of the most disastrous in our history, turning prosperity into recession with high inflation all at once, and doing it in less than four years. And this is to say nothing of the worst foreign...

    What now for Republicans?

    That last part is easy to say and of course there could be other factors, some beyond our control. However, the Biden administration has been responsible for almost all the downturn we've experienced, almost totally by itself. We've referred here to only a few of the disastrous decisions that...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Prove to you that you could answer none of the three points I put to you as possibly tending to prove your argument?? I listed them for you in two different posts, most recently #127, and you gave no answer at all. And if you cannot do that, you don't have anything but a single Bible passage...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Soooo...disavowing Pelagianism, which almost every Christian denomination does, is the sole way you differ from the Anabaptists?

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Where does it do that? You give us a Bible passage that doesn't deal with children and baptism and then you came up empty on all the other ways I suggested by which you could prove your case.

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Are there any of them that you don't affirm yourself? You seem to promote all the key ones of them in your posts.

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    I'll take that reply as conceding that you could not give us an answer to even one of the three points I said might tend to prove your case:

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    What's more, they aren't exactly certain what it is that they made up! Some congregations of the Anabaptist following insist that only a believer, i.e. an adult who can understand the meaning of accepting Christ and make an adult confession of faith, becomes eligible for baptism. Yet others...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    You cannot make one verse that isn't even about children be your "evidence." Show us anywhere that Jesus said "Please don't let the little children come to me" or anywhere in the NT where an age limit is set for baptismal candidates or explain how the baptism of entire households on the...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    I go by the word of God in these matters, Dave. The Bible is revelation, you know, which makes the possibility of Jesus, who is God, taking the opposite stand on an issue like this impossible. In addition, and if we consult the Bible, we can see that Jesus nowhere taught that young children...

    What now for Republicans?

    No, the country did NOT start opening up again. The electoral campaign is over; it's time to talk seriously about the ditch we've been driven into over a very short period of time. Well, that item may be the least of it, in part because it hasn't happened yet and may not happen. It was noted...

    What now for Republicans?

    Not likely. While all those other factors matter in various ways, the truth is that inflation took off dramatically almost immediately after Biden's crew assumed power, and it was caused largely by deliberate policies ordered into existence by an unprecedented use of executive orders and...

    Why Universal Atonement is Pelagianism.

    Now you've come up with the third different version of your stance on this matter. Why don't I just pretend that you have something or other in mind, and we can let it go at that?

    Before Christ and after the death of Christ are not "the same thing." 😒
