    The "Elect"

    I am getting back to this site after a very long time! I remember some names..Hopefully, I will stay here for some more time.. I am not a Calvinist.. But I do believe in pre-destination and freewill.. Limited atonement somewhat ties back to the other 4 points of TULIP.. The argument is if God...

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    I still don't think we have Bride of Christ and Saved people are 2 different classes.. Mathew 22 just continues from the end of chapter 21.. The context is Jesus talking in parables to Pharisees how the Jews rejected Jesus and how the gentiles are going to be crafted into the Covenant. In the...

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    Dear Brother.. I am probably a novice! I also believed that "in" and "of" made a significant difference.. But these were originally written in Greek right.. What is your view on the argument put forward by Wayne Grudem? Hope I can share this link...

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    Thanks for taking the time to reply to me :) I hope I don't sound arrogant in my comments! My only disagreement is that we can know the heart of a person only by the manifestation of fruits.. Not by the gifts.. And tongues is a gift.. I read somewhere online that Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus...

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    Paul writes this in 1 Corinthians 12, 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves[d] or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. Either we are part of the body of Christ or not. The act of being drafted into the body is what is referred to as "baptized...

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    The answers are, No Yes No Yes Yes I believe baptism of Holy Spirit happens at the time of conversion. The other experiences are empowerment of Holy Spirit. It is growth up the ladder and not a first (and only) experience. A person can be filled with Holy Spirit even without these experiences...

    Imputed sin

    Sounded like Paul picks out Adam in this verse. As we can see in 1 Timothy, he picks out Eve. So clearly it is distinguishable.

    Imputed sin

    I think I got it :) Being a software engineer, it is a shame I don't even know this!! :) I spend a lot of time on XDA forums, where I never bothered to quote people :) Hmmm.. I will pull out my reformation study bible and see what they have to say about Romans. Probably that's the way to take...

    Imputed sin

    Thank Deborah! I still don't know how to selectively quote from other posts :) I don't agree that Eve was not given the command. Though God commands Adam not to eat from the tree of life and tree of knowledge even before creation of Eve, the law is for both of them. Quote from Genesis 3, 1Now...
