God has promised to save those who do His will (Matthew 7:21) obey His Son (Hebrews 5:9) who obey the gospel of Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:8). Since God's nature is that He cannot lie then He cannot--will not go back on His promises. Those then they do not obey, either because they never heard...

No, there is just one way to be saved through water baptism. The idea that people will be saved by taking many "different routes" to heaven is man made idea.

When Paul says "one baptism" it means there is just one way to be saved, that God had chosen water baptism as the means by which He saves men.

It's not an illusion, but real. There would be no need for God to ever 'repent' if he predetermined all things where man has no free will.

Do you believe or not that the HS must first act upon one "regenerating" that person before that person is willing and able to listen to and believe the gospel?

Again, NOTHING in the context says the HS first miraculously acted upon the eunuch and "regenerated" him before Phillip preached to him. If you think the HS did first act upon the eunuch in this way before Phillip preached to him, then show me from the context where the HS did such. If the HS...

Free will is simply the ability to be able to choose between two or more options. If God predetermined a man to do "x" then free will does not exist for that man for he has no choice at all, much less a choice between 2 or more options. That man will do 'x" and do nothing but 'x" for he had no...

Romans 4:15 "Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression." Romans 5:13 "(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law." 1 John 3:4 "....for sin is the transgression of the law." If there was no law, then no one could be a...

By the time Paul penned his Ephesian epistle, there was "one baptism" that is now in effect, Ephesians 4:4-5. That one baptism being the human administered water baptism of Christ's great commission that is for all men and lasts till the end of the world. You start your post by saying "baptism...

Yes I did because the eunuch is an great example that disproves: 1) that one is "spirit baptized" therefore water baptism is not necessary 2) one must first be acted upon by the HS, be "regenerated" before one is able to understand God's word. If both the above were true, then why didn't the HS...

Again, animals do not have free will, reasoning ability as men, they act on instinct, not created in the image of God. If God predetermined that Pharaoh disobey, then God shared culpability in Pharaoh's sin nor could God rightly, justly condemn Pharaoh for the disobedience God made him commit.

There has been law since the garden of Eden.

It's not up to me to "prove a negative". YOU made the affirmation that one must first be acted upon by the Holy Spirit before one is willing, able to understand the word of God. The onus is therefore upon YOU to prove your own affirmation. You have not yet provided one text to support your...

You make assertions and assumptions. Again, in the above post of yours, you did NOT respond to facts given you, just make personal attacks against me. You avoid dealing with the facts...again.

If God predetermines a man to do "x" then that man is forced to do "x", he can do nothing but "x". Man then has no free will but is just the proverbial preprogrammed robot. If God predetermined for Pharaoh that he disobey, then Pharaoh was forced to disobey, he could do nothing else but...

Not the case. Jonah 3:10 "God repented". Why would God ever need to repent if He has already predetermined all that happens?? It makes God look confused. God having foreknowledge does not mean man cannot have free will. In the book of Jonah, Nineveh was a wicked city therefore God sent Jonah...

You did not even attempt to respond to the facts I posted. Calvinist Barnes does not go along with your incorrect assessment of Psalms 58. You false theology still lacking Biblical proof.

You made the affirmation the Holy Spirit must first "work' on one enabling one to be able and willing to hear and understand God's word. It's up to you to prove your own affirmation, not for me to disprove it. You have not proven your affirmation from any context. If your affirmation is...

Genesis 6:5-6 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Why the flood? Because of the wickedness...

You are not able to refute facts presented you, so you put forth strawman after strawman.
