According to the doctrine of total depravity, the unregenerated cannot please God. Since Cornelius...

He believes that people are only saved by the grace of God, through the blood of Christ, shed for them on the...

Quote: Originally Posted by benedictus2 If this is the case, then perhaps 2nd can answer why if we are already regenerated / born again, why bother with baptism? What is the point of baptism then? Not just Cornelius but all the OT people. How then are the OT people saved since they have not heard the gospel? Perhaps they are all in hell Baptism is merely a symbolic act. It represents our position in Christ. The senior pastor at the church I...

Quote: Originally Posted by Cr8ton please show me right now how the pope is the infallible authority of God's Word. I agree with Dancelittleewok - t his belongs on another thread. If you want to start one - I'd be more than happy to discuss this with you there.

Quote: Originally Posted by elvisman If you consider Scriptural admonitions to be, " insults " - then you have exposed yourself as one who does not understand the Word of God. I understand the word of God better than you know. Like I said I consider anything that proceeds out of you mouth to be an insult to Jesus, so God Bless and keep up the good work. Cause I am happy in the Lord no matter what you say.

Now, please forgive me in advance for saddling you with years of unresolved questions about the Doctrines of Grace.

I rely on the Pillar and Foundation of truth ( 1 Tim. 3:15 ). You , on the other hand rely on men - either yourself or some other human being who has NO God-given authority. You have made yourselves orphans, divorced from the Body of Christ - and that is...

Quote: Originally Posted by Zundrah I've been asking this question for over a year now, and trust me, you will never get a legitimate answer... Jennifer, I hope you are well. It would be best to read the New Testament and Isaiah through Malachi in the Old Testament, and figure out the answer for yourself, like the Reformers did. Peace, all. I've wanted to give you an opportunity to think about the potential upside. I assure you...
