When you repent and have a TRUE salvation you Your a new person and you desire to please the Lord . Ive heard that message, i didnt hear him say salvation + works because he doesnt preach that . But if you are a believer in Christ witch i assume you do know that salvation is on faith alone .

+Truth Seeker, Calvinism doesn't make God the author of sin. He is the author of the law(not to eat the forbidden fruit) and the fallen humanity is responsible for the very sin. Of course, the humanity was destined to fall according to God's will, in order to for the second Adam , Christ to come and save us so that sinners might possibly comprehend God's Grace towards them. God knows all because He is the one who is in charge of everything.

TS- they say that "If a man is spiritually dead, he cannot "choose" to serve god (nothing in scripture BTW)". If that is true, then man cannot ALSO "choose" NOT to serve him.... For me, it is very simple- we have the ABILITY to choose anything at anytime about anything. We either have that ability or we don't. God character, displayed by "When we were yet sinners, Christ died for us".... should tell everyone and anyone that he does not, never has, and never "will" anyone to Hell, but rather that they should be saved. Ezekiel 18:23 is God's own voice/words concerning this. The Calvinist cannot get past that verse in Romans, because they simply cannot grasp the fact that Paul is referring to the Jews of the OT. It has NOTHING to do with the cross and the only way..... once satan has offered that "chosen apple", they refuse to give it back, the poison is too tasty-and that is what all this really comes down to, unfortunately. But good for you TS, keep it up the good work. Nice to know there is a sincere heart that God has shed His light on

John Calvin Quote: Quote "God arranges all things by his sovereign counsel, in such a way that individuals are born, who are doomed from the womb to certain death and are to glorify him by their destruction.( John Calvin Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 6) John Piper: as incredible and as unacceptable as it may currently seem-God’s having even brought about the Nazis’ brutality at Birkenau and Auschwitz as well as the terrible killings of Dennis Rader and even the sexual abuse of a young child . . . You promote a god who causes the rape of children. Now compare to what God has for mankind Quote: Jesus said in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 1 Timothy 2 : 3-6 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. So which God sounds better. The Calvinist god (Satan) or The God of the Bible : God (Big G) Truth In Love To the Lost Calvinists

Where would we christians be, if God hadnt drawn us to himself? Now maybe there is some parallel out there, where Gods sovereign will draws us, and in some way shape or form, there is some acceptance or severe resistance on our part, i wouldnt know, when i think about that time, when The Lord was drawing me, there was no multiple choice, he drew me, and saved me, when i was perfectly happy as a hornet in my dead sin!

If you are "born again" you are "sealed UNTO the day of redemption" (Ephesians 4:30).

One can be SAVED, but be OUT OF FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD through disobedience, but GOD will continue HIS work.. even if like Jacob He has to make you (or me) a cripple to get His point across. We might wrestle with Him, but He is going to win.

This video talks mostly about the personal lives of Piper and MacArthur so I only listened to 28 minutes. I really wanted to find out more about the Reformed doctrine of unity or remnant theology vs replacement theology, which I believe is more accurate than dispensational separation theology. However, after reading some comments below, particularly Major Jesse Carnes, I do have a question for anyone who may answer: Apparently Calvinistic doctrine says that God does not draw ALLmen to Himself, only those He wants. So, if salvation only comes to men whom God draws unto Himself, then how can a just God punish those who don’t come to Him? And please don't quote me "Because He is God and can do whatever he wants." God has made us in his image and that means we have a sense of justice that comes from Him. Even I, with a smidgeon of God's sense of justice, know that I could not blame anyone for failing to do something that would be impossible for him to do in the first place! Here are just a few biblical quotes from which I do believe God loves justice: Proverbs 21:3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Psalm 89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Deuteronomy 16:19 (this one includes prohibition on showing justice to only those you want (As Calvin's teaching seems to say that God does): "Do not pervert justice OR SHOW PARTIALITY. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent." Acts 17:31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with JUSTICE by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead. Thanks in advance for your answers Dan

God punishes mainly for sin, not for "not coming to Him" So it helps me to just imagine a world in which I've never heard the name Jesus.. I am still accountable for every sin against Him. Therefore our main condemnation is sin, not a lack of seeking God (which is true for everyone anyway) Although it is true that one can come to Christ apart from regeneration, it's also true that their main condemnation is that they have sinned in other ways against a Holy God and need reconciled.

Your question assumes that God isn't just to punish men in hell forever. If God would send all people to hell, it wouldn't contradict his justice and whole being because we are ill-worthy of that punishment and undeserving of any mercy.

*10 Things Consistent Calvinists SHOULD Say (But Usually Don’t):* 1) A Calvinist, speaking to a lost sinner - “Jesus might not have died for you. However, Jesus did die for me and NO, that doesn’t mean that God is ‘playing favorites’.” 2) A Calvinist quotes Acts 17:30-31 and then says this, to a lost sinner - “That doesn’t mean that you CAN repent, though. God must first regenerate you (make you born again), BEFORE you CAN repent. God may not want you to be saved. He may have predestined you for Hell, from eternity past. That means that you may not be a part of the ‘all men, everywhere’ that God has commanded to repent.” 3) A Calvinist quotes John 3:16 and then says this, to a lost sinner - “God may not love you. You may not be a part of ‘the world’, since ‘the world’ in this verse only means ‘the world of the elect’ and not ALL of humankind.” 4) A Calvinist, speaking to a lost sinner - “God is angry with the wicked everyday, even though he predestined/decreed/ordained you to be wicked! I know that doesn’t make sense to you, but that is because you have a depraved mind. Who are you, oh man, to reply against God?!? Who are you, to use Logic?!? Don’t you know that Calvinism invented Presuppositional Apologetics?!? Only Calvinist can use logic!!” 5) A Calvinist, speaking to a lost sinner who is mocking him - “God predestined/decreed/ordained you to mock Him like this, yet He is not the ‘author’ of your mocking.” 6) A Calvinist, speaking to a newborn baby they are holding, in front of the parents of the newborn baby - “You’re not innocent or cute! You’re a CHILD OF WRATH because a man ate a piece of fruit around 6,000 years ago! You are GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY of his sin!” 7) A Calvinist, speaking to their 7 year old - “I’m sorry Johnny, but you may not be a part of God’s elect. God may have predestined you for Hell and there’s nothing that you or I can do about it.” 8) A Calvinist speaking to another Calvinist, who asked him to go out on the streets witnessing - “There’s no reason for me to go out witnessing tonight. God will save whomever He has decreed to save. He doesn’t need my help. He is sovereign. I am going to stay home and watch college football, instead.” 9) After a Calvinist has sinned, he prays a prayer of confession - “Thank you God, for decreeing my sin and then decreeing my repentance. I don’t understand it all, but you obviously have decreed that as well. And as far as I understand, you have decreed that I will keep sinning and keep confessing, everyday for the rest of my life, even though you ‘want me to be holy’. Then, when I ‘get to Heaven’, you will decree that I never sin again. How glorious is your wisdom, oh God. Who can understand it? Amen.” 10) A Calvinist, praying for lost sinners, before he goes out to preach - “God, I know that you have decreed that most of these people will be damned and that very few will be saved. I’m just thankful that I was unconditionally elected and that you have decreed to use me to bring some of the other elect ones to salvation, irresistibly. Yet, I am not a puppet and you don’t force anyone to be saved.” I actually am glad that most Calvinists are inconsistent enough not to say the above things. The less their doctrine is spread, the better. The less their doctrine is spread, the less people will be turned away from Christianity and become Atheists. If you are a Calvinist, then you need to either become consistent or give up your false doctrine. Why don’t you preach your beliefs on the street? Why don’t you share these things in witnessing encounters? Why don’t you tell little children, babies and the parents of such children/babies, the truth? Why don’t you incorporate your doctrines into your prayers? Is it because you don’t really believe what you say you believe? Is it because you are scared to share them? Is it because you know that they don’t make any sense and that you have no logical defense for them? Is it because you have no Biblical defense for your doctrines? You truly have no excuse. If you are right, concerning your theology, you will give an account to your “god” on judgment day, for being ashamed and for not sharing the whole truth (

ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD AFTER GETTING BORN AGAIN YOU MUST: * ● Bear good fruit or get thrown into the fire (Jn. 15:6; Mt. 7:19; 3:10). ● Sow to please the Spirit to reap eternal life (Gal. 6:8). ● Do what is right to be righteous (1 Jn. 3:7,8). ● By the Spirit put to death the misdeeds of the body to live (Rom. 8:13b). ● Persist in doing good so that God will give you eternal life (Rom. 2:7). ● Live holy or the second death will have power over you (Heb. 12:14; Rev. 20:6). ● Be afraid (and not arrogant) of getting cut off like the Jews (Rom. 11:20). ● Forgive others who sin against you so that your sins can be forgiven (Mt. 6:14,15) and so you wont be accountable once again for your previously forgiven sins (Mt. 18:21-35). ● Keep yourself pure (1 Tim. 5:22) for the pure in heart will see God (Mt. 5:8). ● Continue to believe on Jesus so that you will live and never die (Jn. 11:25,26). ● Continue in the teaching of Christ or be without God and eternal life (2 Jn. 9; 1 Jn. 2:24,25). ● Hold firmly to the word Paul preached so that your believing is not in vain (1 Cor. 15:2). ● Keep yourself from idols (1 Jn. 5:21), for all idolaters will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8). ● Keep a tight reign on your tongue or your religion is worthless (James 1:26). ● Have your mind set on what the Spirit desires to live in accord with the Spirit (Rom. 8:5). ● Hold firmly till the end the confidence you had at first to share in Christ (Heb. 3:14). ● Remain faithful to God to the very end so you wont be hurt by the lake of fire (Rev. 2:10, 11 cf. 21:8). ● Continue to do the will of the Heavenly Father to live forever (Mt. 7:21; 1 Jn. 2:17). ● Love God for the kingdom of God has been prepared for all who do (1 Cor. 2:9; James 2:5). ● Hold on to your courage and the hope of which you boast to remain Gods house (Heb. 3:6). ● Hate your life in this world to keep it for eternal life (Jn. 12:25). ● Keep making an agonizing effort to enter Gods kingdom doors for many who try will not enter (Lk.13:23,24). ● Hold on to faith and a good conscience to prevent shipwrecking your faith (1 Tim. 1:19). ● Be an overcomer and faithful follower to escape the lake of fire (Rev. 21:7,8; 2:10,11; 17:14). ● Continue in Gods kindness and faith or get cut off like the Jews (Rom. 11:19-23). ● Discipline your body and make it your slave so you wont become disqualified (1 Cor. 9:27). ● Stand firm through hatred to the end to be saved (Mt. 10:22). ● Go through many hardships (Acts 14:22). *ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD AFTER GETTING "BORN AGAIN" YOU MUST NOT:* ● Live according to the sinful nature or you will die spiritually (Rom. 8:13). ● Choose to be a friend of this world or you will become an enemy of God (James 4:4). ● Reject God by living an unholy life (1 Thess. 4:7,8). ● Think you are standing firm or you will fall (1 Cor. 10:12 cf. 2 Pet. 1:5-10). ● Defile your temple or God will destroy you (1 Cor. 3:17). ● Wander from the truth and remain unrepentant (James 5:19,20). ● Save your life or you will lose it (Mt. 16:25,26 cf.

These are clearly CONDITIONAL warnings for believers. "Believing" in Jesus is a continuing relationship of confidence and obedience. If you stop believing and choose to sin, then you stop being a believer, and you fall into unbelief. Paul talks about that in Romans 11 a lot. He said that some Jews were cut off, and, 'you too will be cut off if you do not continue in God's kindness.' What's the point of all these warnings?? It is not the faith you had 20 years ago that will save you, it is the faith you have at the end. Stop believing the devil’s 1st lie of Gen.3:4 that sinning Christians won’t die.*

O my friend, you forgot something here- Calvin PREACHED that any baby who was baptized in water gained automatic entrance into Heaven. He indeed said that, along with MANY other outrageous/unbiblical claims. "Depraved" are those who know not that God is LOVE and has not the same will for mankind as the devil- not a single one of us

truthdisciple Did you forget our first priority is we must needs repent of our sin? realizing we are sinners and can only rely on JESUS CHRIST for our salvation. And only once we get to that point there is no hope of salvation. The first word of the Gospel of Jesus Christis to REPENT.
@majorjessecarnes530310 жыл бұрын
Calvinism is simple: God is Sovereign and in Control of all Things, past, present and future. If He were not, a person would only be left with "Is the Devil in control?" or "Is CHANCE and Evolution True?" Obviously, the answer to both queries is an understated single word: HARDLY!! Paul says that Men have NO power to come to Christ INTRINSICALLY. Jesus said that Unless the Father draws you, then you will NEVER be saved [ SEE John chap 6:38-45 ]. He also says in Romans chapter 3 that NO men EVER seek after God. None. Also, if Jesus had died for EVERY person without exception, then why [ALLEGEDLY] does He RENEGE, as High Priest, to INTERCEDE for the Whole World, as found in John 17 . . . QUOTE follows: "I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them." And finally, does ANYONE deserve to be saved? Romans chapter 3 again. God can Righteously discriminate, for by definition as God, He is UNABLE to Sin. The Omnipotent God of the Universe has NO power to sin. His nature is Holy. So, He hardens whom He wills [ and does so without sinning ] and SAVES whom He will. If Jesus had died for all persons, there would also be NO unpardonable sin. Because If HE had died for ALL sins for all people, then THAT sin would have been imputed to His person on the Cross. If that sin HAD been imputed, then it would not be Unpardonable. Expiation and Propitiation ERADICATES Sin. So if Jesus HAD truly died for all Sins of All people, then He would have told a LIE when He said that Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit were beyond Salvation. But BACK to an earlier statement: again, if NONE deserve Salvation, then what's the issue with Free and Sovereign Grace [commonly called Calvinism]? Read the Book of Romans PRAYERFULLY and ASK the Lord to show you the Truth.

Daniel Hebner Daniel- God and satan cannot/do not have the same will for mankind. Therefore God does not "will" any one single person to eternal torment. Satan would surely have that..... Not here to go on and on, it's accomplishes nothing, but for me, and all of I can quote God as saying time and again is quite convincing. The MOST convincing thing about any doctrine for people should be the source-Calvin himself. Only a handful of some of his unbiblical quotes should be enough to drive you far from this

This was a wonderful blessing to listen to. Especially touched to learn about the early years of these men as my husband and I are 30 and 32 respectively, and both needing to hear from older ministers of the Word about the importance of these early years. My husband has a desire to shepherd a church, and the process to get there is , shall I say, not going as timely as we like.
@shellyslioneyes4 жыл бұрын
How is it going with the starting a church? Remember...it is the Lord Jesus who builds His church, not your husband so if he is not a shepherd yet, perhaps in Gods time. Meanwhile, many churches have began by faithful men beginning studies in their living room. Then it progresses to a rented room & then a church. Started somewhere with those you know. One of my favorite online Pastors, Brother Zac Poonen started in his living room and now 50 yrs later has over 200 churches, in which he has Elders over. He teaches true whole counsel of God. He himself nor any of the Elders never took a salary, nor teach tithing as it is Old Testament. His 4 sons are all in ministry. Two have churches in USA while Zac stayed in India. All this started in his living room. Search "Zac Poonen" on KZbin or CFC.India.com. God bless you and your husband. Just wanted to encourage you this Christmas Eve 2019!!!.

How dare you say we need to "channel" anything. You should get away from those demons you have invited into your life. And then maybe if you repent, the LORD will have mercy on you.

John MacArthur has the form of a shepherd and fears the LORD and the power thereof. To say theology is their god makes no sense coming from a truly regenerated heart. To study theology is to get to know God in order that we may glorify Him through our love and obedience. Understand the progression here. We must get to know Him before we can love Him, and we must love Him before we can desire to obey Him. As a byproduct, our lives are enriched by the comfort and hope He imparts to those who know, love, and obey Him. Poor theology and a superficial, inaccurate understanding of God will only make our lives worse instead of bringing the comfort and hope we long for. Knowing about God is crucially important. We are cruel to ourselves if we try to live in this world without knowing about God. The world is a painful place, and life in it is disappointing and unpleasant. Reject theology and you doom yourself to life with no sense of direction. Without theology, we waste our lives and lose our souls. All true and professing Christians should be consumed with theology, an intense and personal study of GOD in order to know, love, and obey the One with whom we will joyfully spend eternity.

So Paul . . . you believe that Jesus died for ALL of the Sins of ALL people ... Yes? We know that Jesus is the true Christian's High Priest. Priests had 2 basic duties: offer sacrifices , and Intercede [pray] for those for whom they offer sacrifices. IF Jesus died for ALL people's sins, then why would Jesus [ ALLEGEDLY] renege His duty by stating openly that He will NOT pray for the World, but only for those individuals who had been GIVEN to Him [ SEE John 17 ]. If Jesus had died for ALL, then he would Intercede for ALL. He flat refuses to do so, as seen here: 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. Also, If Jesus died for ALL sins of ALL Men, then Why is there an Unpardonable Sin? PLEASE do not tell me it is Unbelief, because we ALL were in Unbelief before God opened our hearts. If there is an Unpardonable sin, then Jesus did NOT died for that sin, and if He does not die for the Sin, then He cannot die for the Perpetrator, due that ALL of sins must be covered. Lastly, if Jesus [as some people mistakenly claim] did not Impute His Righteousness to sinners, then WHERE will they get their 100% perfect Righteousness? God expects you to be PERFECT in order to be with Him in Heaven. You cannot render what God expects, so, instead, He Credits you with Jesus' own EARNED life of perfection [ SEE Romans chapter 4]. But again, I ask: HOW could Jesus die for ALL men, if He will NOT Intercede for them? DARE we call Jesus darelict? Hardly. IF a Priest will NOT Intercede for them, then He is a Priest who did NOT DIE for them. God have NEVER had a Universal Atonement, even in the Old Testament: When Aaron offered sacrifice on the Day of Atonement, did that grant forgiveness for people in the cities of Ur . . . or Thebes Egypt . . . or towns in Greece? Nope. You had to be within the Covenant Community, which is why Ruth and Rahab the Harlot BOTH became Jewesses. God has always had a CHOSEN people, and why NOT? Does ANYONE deserve to be Saved? No. If anyone deserved to be saved, then it would be PAYMENT OWED to them by God. It would not be Grace. NOW, regarding Once Saved Always Saved . . . this expression is well-meant but is misstated. FIRST, can ANY of us save OURSELVES? Hardly. Do you have the Intrinsic to keep yourself from sinning, much less saved? Paul the Apostle says NO. IF you could keep yourself saved, then you would not Need the Spirit of God. Paul states that sinful men have NO power to come to Christ, inherently on their own power or initiative. NOTE that Lydia in Acts 16 did not turn to Christ, per se. God TURNED her heart TO Himself. It says, verbatum, that "God opened her heart so that she would respond to Paul's message. WHO takes the first step? God. Do YOU as a completely TAINTED and FALLEN sinner have the power to turn to God? Hardly. Romans chapter 3 states that "NO one seeks after God..." and chapter 8 says that "...the heart of the unbeliever does NOT submit to the Law of God ; NEITHER is it ABLE to do so."

***** MJC- how easily you forget Jesus prayed, "Father FORGIVE THEM "them"...... for they know not what they do. So indeed, He certainly did and does.... "O Jerusalem Jerusalem...." as He wept. He is LOVE and He commands us to "LOVE your enemies and PRAY FOR those who despitefully abuse you....etc". He tells us to do it because He did it. God draws ALL MEN unto Him, it is then men's decision time. Choose YOU this day whom you will serve"...... and don't forget this: If a dead man cannot choose to serve God (which contradicts the scripture/WORD) then he also cannot choose NOT to serve Him...... The context of what is said needs to be considered, as it seemingly is always reversed in "For those whom God foreknew He predestined....etc"..... that verse has nothing to do with salvation in Christ. God knows something-not translated "God planned it all". Ezekiel: God said this MJC- "Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked die in his sins, and not that he repents and lives? says the SOVEREIGN Lord"...... you decide. That's pretty simple math to conclude, or, otherwise I think maybe God is angry/upset with His own plan?! Has to be....... and I really don't think so

Then you will understand, and hopefully experience what Paul said, ...."not by wisdom of words (men's intellect) but by the demonstration of the power and of the spirit"...... the very thing Calvin taught was only for "back then"..... that's the goal- suppress every believer into thinking this way, so then "Theology" comes into play, and then rules your mind and keeps you in Calvin's box..... just remember Chad, boxes are FLAMMABLE....
