    What makes the elect sons ?

    Well...Van...I have to hand it to you, you trumped Beloved57 on that one. He fails miserably to make critical distinctions. Much of what I say below you would probably disagree with, but my point is, you are more correct and what's his nose errs. In the context of the Gospel, we must keep in...

    What makes the elect sons ?

    Continued: 1. Of God to man: Verse 18, “God hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ.” 2. Our reconciliation to God, in the acceptance of that reconciliation which we are exhorted to. The first is that inquired after, the reconciliation whereby the anger of God by Christ is turned away...

    What makes the elect sons ?

    continued: elsewhere distinctly declared; a love that was to have an efficacy by means appointed. But for a love of friendship, approbation, acceptation as to our persons and duties, God bears none unto us, but as considered in Christ and for his sake. It is contrary to the whole design of the...

    What makes the elect sons ?

    Once, again...Beloved57 (and Van) fail to make critical distinctions evidencing their proclivity for falsehood and fallacies. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. (Psalms 5:5) Was Beloved ever a worker of iniquity? Not according to his testimony. I...

    What makes the elect sons ?

    Let’s first do some teaching in whose light by contrast we’ll be better able to see one source of our opponent’s error in denying the “entitlement" of salvation. Let’s lay a foundation for rightly understanding our doctrine of the "entitlement" of salvation by first discussing the particulars of...

    Christ Intercession ?

    Beloved reveals that he can't make proper distinctions evinced by the state of his mind based on the crucial distinction between the elect’s being in union with Christ and the elect’s being united to Christ. These are not one and the same, as the one occurs previous to, or is the cause of, the...

    What makes the elect sons ?

    I beg to differ. The SHEER volume of words got directly to the point and quite beyond Van's false gospel. Had he confessed the Gospel (which he didn't) he would have known that "faith it'self" is excluded as any "part" of the entitlement for salvation. For by grace are ye saved through faith...

    Christ Intercession ?

    Were God's elect saved from eternity past? Or were God's elect saved at the cross? Many deceived Calvinists say the former, while many others affirm the latter. However, if either were true, how is it possible that any of the elect should be born "dead in trespasses and sins," under wrath "even...

    Christ Intercession ?

    Oh yea, let's see...the righteous ungodly...the pure ungodly...the spotless ungodly...and, oh yea...let's not forget about the holy ungodly. LOL ^_^ Remember, beloved57...distinctions, distinctions...distinctions. Observe below, John Owen in the Death of Death in the Death of Christ. We...

    What's the problem? Are you angry because I've revealed many of your practical inconsistent and contradictory doctrines, aye? Your posts lack uniformity in behavior and thought...dude. :P

    Continued: 2 Thessalonians 2 - {13} But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: {14} Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the...

    The High priest Jesus

    Continued: Why is THIS Gospel called the “power of God”? That is to say, it is the only appointed and acceptable means by which God is pleased to save “every believer.” The main issue in the salvation of sinners is God’s glory revealed in all His redemptive attributes, and the main issue in...

    The High priest Jesus

    Continued: If this is true, then why should God through His ministers not be free to publish this truth to all without exception, or to promise the same towards as many as who hear the Gospel? If we do, this shows that we highly esteem that righteousness more than anything else, and that not...

    The High priest Jesus

    Hello moonbeam. Here are the answers to your questions. The Gospel Defined What is the Gospel defined, which we believe and are defending? Let’s give a brief definition of God’s only Gospel, which is the plumb line for everything we say throughout these posts. THE Gospel is God’s promise...

    Finally, someone with enough reasoning capabilities and wherewithal to ask proper questions. :thumbsup: Greetings to you also, moonbeam. Since you have lobbed the ball over to my side of the court, I'll reciprocate by answering you as thoroughly as I can and seeking with all diligence as I am...
