The gift of tongues.
I wonder if God could do them for no other reason that as Father God he loves to bless His children for no other reason than because He can. Are they necessary -No are they greatfully received You Bet. I most certainly am not going to tell God He is not allowed to do them. John O -

Salvation through Christ alone not works less any man should boast.
Rom 13:11 This also, knowing the time, that it is already time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. Interesting verse. It appears Paul is now speaking of another salvation which is nearer than the first salvation. Also if we first believed is that a... -

The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached !
Yes indeed, we can do nothing unless God first calls us and to live without Him in our lives is to not live at all and many will come to that judgment day only to find that they had only mentally ascended to Christ but had not actually made a true heart decision. Who does not want to be saved... -

The Fallacy of Freewill
I would appreciate your thoughts on my thoughts. Please note that Salvation is given by God alone man can do nothing to obtain it. Responding to God's mercy for some is considered work or self seeking but I challenge anyone not to respond if the creator of the universe intersects with you daily... -

Is God the Cause of sin and evil in the world ?
Sorry don't understand your point post 65 does not contradict what I have written. Maybe you could explain what issue you are seeing that I am not. John O -

Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !
You continually twist my words. Salvation is by faith only in Christ not works but then you have stayed at point and seek continually drag the conversation back to this point as if there is nothing beyond what is only the starting point of our life in eternity. John O -

Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !
Who are you to question the love of God that He would indeed wait patiently for all that they might be saved. This takes nothing away from the condemnation that those who reject the salvation of Christ receive. John O -

You pervert the word of God for your own personal glory to be the expert but rest assured I will continue to challenge you post by post. John O -

Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !
Your reply is ridiculous you simply take want what you want out of what we write and ignore everything else. Salvation is available by faith through Christ and His death paid the price which enables us to be reconciled to Him. So at no stage have I claimed anything else but that is not enough... -

Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !
Is this scripture the word of God or not. If it is the word of God why will you not consider what it says? John O -

No only saved by the death of Christ alone my response is acknowledgement of that not replacement to it. John O -

The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached !
Again an excellent post upon which I agree. Salvation is a free gift of God we have no part in it other than we accept it in faith (which He gives us in the first place!) It is out of our love for God which comes from our new relationship with Christ that good works are undertaken, not that... -

A Genuine faith without Born Again Loving OBEDIENCE??
Excellent post. Salvation is a free gift but it like all gifts it can be neglected and rejected. A Christian neglects his salvation by thinking that he is saved and can do as he pleases because he is saved. It is rejected when he chooses to not obey the word of God and the promptings of the Holy... -

Freewill religion is the Man of Sin !
savedbygrace57 Once again we continue to split hairs over the definition of saved by faith. We agree that only Christ can save us and He alone provides salvation for us. The point of difference seems to be that if Christ makes Himself known us He alone decides if we will be saved as opposed to... -

The Fallacy of Freewill
Give us mankind a break, Saul responded to a revelation and asked His God what he should do in response to that revelation. I have already responded how due to the journey Saul had been on with the promptings of the Holy Spirit he was ready to do anything God asked of him. John O -

Is God the Cause of sin and evil in the world ?
Until Jesus returns to judge the world both good and evil are allowed to operate in this world not because God can not stop the evil but because when judgment is completed this world ends and no more people will have the opportunity to come to salvation. As tragic as the evil is how much more... -

The Fallacy of Freewill
Actually slider you provided the scriptural backing in your original post so no more verses were required. I continually see pieces taken out of verses or verses taken out of context to push forward a view point and when challenged pot shots taken at the person who would dare offer a different... -

Playing the God Card
Run from these people as fast as you can! "If you need to tell people you are the leader you are not!" Shane Willard. Jesus showed us that the greatest in the kingdom is the servant to all. Servant does not mean downtrodden or a doormat but simply that you heart attitude is to serve and build... -

The Fallacy of Freewill
The Damascus Road event Only Happened after God had been prodding Saul. The event happened at the right time and at the right place and God knew (because He knows all things) that Saul was ready to respond. The nature of the event I thing was not so much about Saul's salvation (though of course...
