    What do non-Calvinists mean by "elect"?

    Jesus Christ commanded to go teach, preach the gospel to every creature. Let Him decide who is elect. Serve Him, follow Him, hear Him, obey Him. Believe Him, Trust and obey Him. The 'elect' will. All to His glory. And praise.

    How can we understand soteriology if we don't understand Genesis?

    As for the Genesis creation account, it is clearly given as "six days". The Hebrew used in Exo. Is the same language used when God instructed them to march around Jericho 'six days'. Exact same. Also scripture uses the word 'made' and 'created' interchangeably regarding the six day creation. We...

    Deep theological question.

    Personally I think so, but wait and get the Calvinist and Arminians to debate this question for about 6 centuries:cool:

    Perhaps the most misunderstood passage of scripture

    Don't look complicated at all. Verse 24 "But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;" We have the whole of canon to tell us everything we need. No one part of scripture will take away from the rest. We believe it all. The...

    Amillenialism

    This thread has been very interesting. Please keep discussing. To the OP, just give the historical quotes that you feel or understand was used by the apostles, or those directly taught by them, that presents pre-millennialism. Thanks. God Bless all.

    hell

    Words do matter. Exactly how given in scripture. It does NOT say God "will" destroy both soul and body in hell, but that God is "able" to. Another mis-quote. It is Jesus Christ Himself who has revealed that punishment will be eternal, just as eternal as life, in Matt. 25:56. And it is also...

    hell

    Don't see the tie to 'soteriology', either, but, in reference to Mark 9:48, the wording is not 'a' worm, but it is "their" worm. Meaning, for all that will be there, "their worm dieth not" which is eternal. God Bless.

    What IS Soteriology?

    Scripture says "Neither is there 'salvation' in any other; for there is 'none other name under heaven' given among men, whereby we must be saved." Therefore any study about 'salvation' simply has to focus in Jesus Christ. Who He is. Why He came. We must believe in Him. We must repent of our...

    "islam Is A Peacefull Religion..."

    While they do recognize that Jesus was a great prophet, they also will place Him lower than their prophet Muhammad, as their five pillars show. They firmly state that "God has no Son", as their prophet Muhammad taught. Which makes God the Father, and Jesus Christ the Son, and His apostles...

    Choose!

    None of us are going to be deciding who is truly saved, and who is not. We are to be witnesses of the gospel of Jesus Christ, urging all to repent and believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament gives us very good instructions about all we should believe and do, in Him. None of...

    I don't want freewill

    Then just follow Jesus Christ completely, as 1st Thess. 5:23 states. If we do, we will have no will or desire to sin against our great Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ. God will sure do His part in that. The problem would be those spoken to. "Whosoever will". I see the word semantics folks are...

    Comprehensive List of Evidence

    My point was simply what scripture says we are predestined to. Scripture also says some will "depart" from the truth, and I already gave the verses. I believe this is something the individual would do, apart from what God desires of them. Same regarding one with a shipwrecked faith, as already...

    Comprehensive List of Evidence

    Are you now accusing me of "redefining" a word? I gave the verse, and it very clearly tells us what we are predestinated to. "He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son", Explain now how I redefined that. What are we predestined to be? And what part of my previous...

    Comprehensive List of Evidence

    I been following this for a while. The OP asked for comprehensive verses. When those of the free-will view did give verses, they were then given critique, by the poster. If you were gonna do that, you should have said be willing to defend your view. You did not, you just said to post them, and...

    Jesus' return = Second Coming?

    Scripture will not agree with the secret snatching away of believers like you see in some of the movies concerning the rapture. Don't believe that stuff.
