The Good News/The Bad News
Not sure if we disagree on any of this, but your tone seems to indicate we do. (I could be reading your tone wrong.) I agree the gift is salvation by grace through faith. For salvation to be a gift and "not of [our] own doing" and "not the results of works", all that is necessary for salvation... -
The Good News/The Bad News
Do you think someone could have faith in Him and yet not have the results that they obey Him? I land on the answer being "No." -
The Good News/The Bad News
JLB, you restated what you believe (Some of which I am in agreement.), but did you address my two questions? -
The Good News/The Bad News
After scouring Calvin's Institutes, all the writing of Edwards, Spurgeon's sermons, and DesiringGod.org, I decided to find my Bible and see what it says. :wink (The winky face is meant as a clue to those who are blind to tongue-in-cheek humor.) Are these passages in Romans forgetting the... -

Do you think the same way about the "nametag" CHRISTIAN? -
The Good News/The Bad News
With all this love for obedience, I am wondering how Christ's work on the cross and His resurrection is sufficient for our salvation when it seems that we, in and of ourselves, must add obedience to the mix to gain salvation. Does anyone want to explain the sufficiency of Christ's work in light... -

Hey, I'm just happy and surprised you think a Calvinist could end up in heaven! -

The Saving results of the Death of Christ !
Words only matter if they have definitions. I do not mind using anyone's definitions as long as they give them to me. From what I can tell, you assume everyone is working off of your definitions. Have you asked for any clarity on what others mean when they use a term? If you want to define... -
The Saving results of the Death of Christ !
I do not think anyone has written someone can be saved without believing the Gospel. Your difficulty is that what people are writing does not line up with your understanding of the sequence of events making up God's act of saving a person. Some of us believe it requires an act on God's part for... -
The Saving results of the Death of Christ !
JLB, quite frankly, you seem posed to use your position of authority to silence what has been considered orthodox Christianity since the Reformation. -
The Good News/The Bad News
Long way of writing, "My salvation was my decision", i.e. "it is in my hands." -
Bible Study Matt. 25;46
There seems to be some confusion on what Reformed Theology means by unconditional election. It means that the condition of the Elect had nothing to do with God's choice of His Elect. He did not foresee some characteristic(s) in a person and then predestine the person for salvation with...- Hospes

Life is so Hard....
Luminous_Rose, I have found the Psalms comforting when I am distressed, so I encourage you to look at them and find where the writer is crying out in a way that sounds similar to the way your heart is feeling. Parts of Psalms 55:1-23 (ESV) may "fit" you at this time. Don't worry if the...- Hospes

Bible Study Matt. 25;46
Good question. Not easy. I can only answer as a Christian. I think we have free moral agency to evaluate and choose Truth. There is more going on inside of us than a determinative electro-chemical process. The agency that we have gives us a role in rationally evaluating truth claims and deciding...- Hospes

Bible Study Matt. 25;46
Maybe I am reading too much into what you have written, so I apologize upfront if I have. Feel free to correct me. Here's my reasoning: if what a person believes results from "some process occurring in one's subconscious mind due to an exposure to stimuli", then our beliefs are determined by...- Hospes

The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
I kinda like isms. Saves me a bunch of time in discussions. Would be nice if isms didn't cause schisms unless the ism is a heretical ism. There is a poem somewhere in all this. Maybe a limerick. There were no isms from Oslo With that, the talk came quite slow Lots of repeats No more short...
