Wrong. They are elected unto salvation by God. Through, and in support of that, are GIVEN by Christ, obedience to the faith: GIVEN grace and apostleship so that obedience in faith would be manifested in them -but not because of anything done by themWe are elected unto obedience, not salvation. 1 Peter 1:2
Yes it is, and only God can open your eyes to that my friend.
Same thing Heb 5:9We are elected unto obedience, not salvation. 1 Peter 1:2
Hey Roger, I believe his statement is correct, but he doesnt understand it, because obedience to the Faith is the result and fruit of election.Wrong. They are elected unto salvation by God.

[Rom 1:5 KJV] 5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Everyone is elected to salvation, but first, we need to believe and then we need to be obedient unto the Lord. There are a lot of people who fail.Hey Roger, I believe his statement is correct, but he doesnt understand it, because obedience to the Faith is the result and fruit of election.
Lol he made the statement out of ignorance, not realizing the obedience to the Faith is Spiritual Salvation, Conversion.
And also very important in that verse (which I'm sure you know brightfame52), is that it confirms the doctrine of election as we understand it to be - that the elect have "received grace and apostleship" by Christ - it is a gift.Hey Roger, I believe his statement is correct, but he doesnt understand it, because obedience to the Faith is the result and fruit of election.

Yes agreed, but I m not an Apostle lol, at least not one of the original ones.And also very important in that verse (which I'm sure you know brightfame52), is that it confirms the doctrine of election as we understand it to be - that the elect have "received grace and apostleship" by Christ - it is a gift.
It is a gift to those who follow Him all the days of their life.And also very important in that verse (which I'm sure you know brightfame52), is that it confirms the doctrine of election as we understand it to be - that the elect have "received grace and apostleship" by Christ - it is a gift.
And neither were all the "we" that Paul was addressingYes agreed, but I m not an Apostle lol, at least not one of the original ones.
And this is from directly from the gospel of Cooper? As usual, you have it reversed.It is a gift to those who follow Him all the days of their life.
Luke 3:6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”cooper
False statement !
But dont you think Paul was referring to other Apostles when he said we ? All were not Apostles 1 Cor 4:9And neither were all the "we" that Paul was addressing
More conditional salvation premised on man ! WorksIt is a gift to those who follow Him all the days of their life.
Careless use of scripture.Luke 3:6 And all flesh will see the salvation of God.’”
Acts 2:21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Romans 5:18 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.
Romans 10:13 for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
1 Timothy 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
Titus 2:12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Reading comments like that regarding the beauty of scripture and its wonderful message causes me to feel sick at heart.Careless use of scripture.
In your opinion only. Cooper posts more truths than you will ever know.Careless use of scripture.
Perhaps I'm wrong but in the stating of the receiving of grace, it seems to me that the "we " was intended to include all of the elect - apostles and others elect alike - for obedience to the faith - that through the Spirit, all elect are made obedient.But dont you think Paul was referring to other Apostles when he said we ? All were not Apostles 1 Cor 4:9
For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
In my opinion too - because he has and does use scripture carelesslyIn your opinion only. Cooper posts more truths than you will ever know.
