• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is 'once saved always saved' a biblical teaching?

Born of water is a person's physical birth.
Born of Spirit is a person's spiritual birth, which happens when the person believes in Jesus for Eternal Life.
And you will provide a verse that we are Born of WATER. is a persons PHYSICAL. BIRTH. ?? REALLY. ??

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
-----------------
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

If all are born lost then why did Jesus say that none that were given Him (referring to the twelve disciples) were lost except one, the son of perdition? You are obviously taking John 17:12 out of context. Based on what you said here, Jesus should have said all of them were lost, not one, but He clearly wasn't talking in the context that you're talking about here.

While we are all born with a sinful nature that will eventually manifest itself when we begin to sin, we do not sin right from birth. If we were objects of His wrath even from birth, that would be complete nonsense. What has a baby done to deserve God's wrath? Absolutely nothing. You are defying all logic with your belief. If God's wrath is on us even from birth, then what do you make of this...

Matthew 19:13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

What do you think, that Jesus was saying that the kingdom of heaven was made up of such as those little children of wrath? Of course He was not saying that, but the way you falsely interpret Ephesians 2:3 would lead to that conclusion.
AND one GOOD REASON is because. John 17:12 and Matt 19:13 Are and NOT SPEAKING. to the Body of Christ. !!

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
And. the earth is round and read ISA 40:22 and. PSALM 147:4. and when. rockets go up. and take pictures the earth is ROUND !!

AND my wife has seen our children born , but never twice. ??

So how is anyone born on. the SPIRIT with a verse ??

And only. God can. in DO IN VERSE 36:26 and 27. DO. THAT !!

That was Israel and NOT GENTILES and read Gal 6:15. and you need help , will be glad to. explain. Gal 6:15. ??
