• 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.

Who will be saved?

(5) All those on whom Christ will have mercy.

We know with certainty that Christ will have mercy on those who have repented of their sins and have asked for Christ's mercy. As for others, I don't believe we can know with certainty how Christ will judge them. Personally, I have a hunch that he'll have mercy on a whole bunch of extra people, but I don't find that in scripture so I don't know it with certainty.

Pretty good, but he starts off with classic Reformed soteriology. The idea that one has to repent of one's attempt to "be good" and depend on the "finished work". Jesus said one has to repent of his sins and He calls us to to follow Him. The rest "happens".
I'm not sure what you're saying here. As the speaker states, when our sin
is made clear to us by the Holy Spirit, and we agree with Him in faith of
Jesus' finished work for us, the Holy Spirit regenerates our spirit.

I agree Jesus calls us to follow Him, and in so doing we will live a life
of continued repentance (turning from sin) as the Holy Spirit points it
out to us, and enables us to do so. Am I correct?
