Please explain how you can be Anglican if not in communion with Cantebury? And furthermore the ECUSA does recognize the validity of the Thirty-Nine Articles, and I will quote directly from the Episcopal Church USA website on being the only Anglican Church in the US: "While there are other...

Being a member of the Episcopal Church of the United States (the only member of the Anglican Communion in the United States), I do not believe in Real Presence because it we believe that it cannot be proven through scripture. Further more it is the basis of the Church, as written in the 39...

I am member of the Episcopal Church of the United States of America. This is the only church in America in the Anglican Communion (connected with the Anglican Church in England). I'm not sure if that means I'm Anglo-Catholic, Anglican, or any other range of identifying titles. However, my...

Gee, has anyone ever heard of grace? I praise God for doctrines like predestination because without it, without the unconditional election of God, I would have rejected Him and gone to hell. Praise God, but He chose me and nobody and nothing, including my own ignorance, can take me out of...

Indeed, it is God alone who is responsible for the reconciliation of man. For man is totally depraved of God, and therefore cannot on his own positive volition reconcile himself to God. Excellent points. Calvinist><>

What very reason were we created for? FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. Excellent post watts.

these christian theological disscussions only make me want to study my Bible more. I love it.

I'm sorry, but as a Christian whose faith stumbles from time to time, I find myself relying on GOD'S INFINITE GRACE!!! AMEN!!! It's just like the song says, "He's still working on me..." i must have missed that part in the bible that says christians will have strong faith all the time, i'll...

Anyone who quotes the works of Dr. John Owen is on the right track!!!

Perhaps I should change my name from Calvinist to Biblicist!!!

Dear ALL, Paul writes in Romans 8:32-33, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for US ALL, how shall He not with HIm also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against GOD'S ELECT? It is God who justifies." (NKJV). Paul speaks to the church at Rome as a...

Zeal without knowledge?

Dear ALL Fellow Enjoyers of the Grape, I believe that God wants us to be dependent upon Him and nothing else. I think that when it is spoken of to not become drunk with wine, it means becoming dependent upon it, or to become an alcoholic. This is simply my interpretation. Until I'm...

Dear ALL Fellow Enjoyers of the Grape, I believe that God wants us to be dependent upon Him and nothing else. The term in the Bible

Dear ALL: Before anymore posts on this topic are written, I suggest a reading of John 17. In it we see one of the most beautiful love stories ever written. God gives the elect to His Son, and as Jesus goes to the cross He gives them back to the Father and one day the elect will be given from...

Dear Settergren, I enjoyed your post, especially the "not of yourselves" line. Indeed works are important. Remember what happened to the tree that would not yield fruit for Jesus and his disciples?! Do works define our salvation or does salvation define our works? If anything God's infinite...

Dear ALL: I am reminded of Ephesians 1. It is important to remember that salvation occurred before the very foundations of the earth, so any act today cannot change one's status as one of the elect. Rejoicing in God's...

There is another way. Come to realize that Calvinism is biblical and all your problems with losing salvation will go away.

Perhaps it would be better to say that God did not create sin, but rather sin is an absence of God. Calvinist
