Of course what I am communicating is Calvinism, because when you study the New Testament the closest extra-biblical summary of what the bible teaches is Calvinism. Try reading the Insititutes. You will see what I am talking about.

Ah, but that is the confusion. People assume they have free will which means they think they have a choice.

The problem here is they assume we actually have free will. If you study the true mechanics of salvation one must come to the conclusion that we do not have free will. That our outcome in this world was predetermined before time began, and everything that has, and will, transpire according to...

One baptism is sufficient. Paul actually talks about this. Since baptism replaced circumcision being baptized multiple times would, literally, be like being circumcised multiple times. To understand how baptism should be administered, read through the book of Acts. Every example in that book...

Have you tried active listening techniques? For example, asking a follow-up question to what she said, or repeating what she said so you demonstrate you are listening.

John 1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." The creeds are based on this, among many other scriptural...

Why? The Bible clearly demonstrates the He is God.

He is both God and Man. He is fully God and fully Man. He had to be to sufficiently become the savior of the world.

Here is an article I came across in regard to this: https://afn.net/church/2024/09/17/pope-taken-to-task-for-suggesting-all-religions-lead-to-god/ From the end of the article, it suggests that the Pope is trying to "build bridges." Honestly, if that was his intent he has a long road to ho to...

The Pope is anathema and a false teacher, according to the definition found in the Bible. Also, the RCC, for the most part, is an apostate church. That is to say that many, but not all of those who call themselves "Catholic" are deceived at the very least if not entirely unbelievers. In...

Prayer is literally talking to God. Immature Christians will always pray for things that may be naive, or short-sighted. During our sanctification, one of the things that God is working on in us is praying for the right things. The best example of how to pray is the Lord's Prayer, and a good...

There is a bigger picture here to consider. I do agree that your step-father should not be invited to the wedding, regardless of what your mother says in response to it. This is a tricky situation since we are to honor our parents, however, you also intend on joining with your new husband as...

The devil will always find ways to distract you and bring you down, which is why it is important to stay rooted in the Word and plug into a solid Bible-believing church where you can find sound biblical counsel amongst the leadership. As you go through the process of sanctification many of...

As WIP pointed out, as long as it is a trinitarian baptism you are good. Just as a quick side note to this, if you choose to join another church down the road as you move along in your sanctification, as long as your baptism has been trinitarian you will not need to be baptized again.

Not sure about that, but you may have a calcium deficiency at the very least.
