I do not see your name in that verse. In fact. anyone could use that verse to say they have the truth..This is exactly what I am doing.
Titus 1:9
Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
even then, we can get it wrong (I speak from experience)only after studying it
We are saved by being in the correct state of grace.So you are saved by believing?
That verse is referring to all people, including me, who believe Jesus correctly.I do not see your name in that verse. In fact. anyone could use that verse to say they have the truth..
so you did not do what I asked you to do.
the text you used says fully :even then, we can get it wrong (I speak from experience)
But because you are elected, you have been placed on the right side of Grace, correct? Are you a Calvinist, right?We are saved by being in the correct state of grace.
That assumes you believe Jesus correctly.That verse is referring to all people, including me, who believe Jesus correctly.![]()
That's what you think; I never claimed to believe that.But because you are elected, you have been placed on the right side of Grace, correct? Are you a Calvinist, right?
Grace is unmerited. so what state would that be?We are saved by being in the correct state of grace.
I was just saying anyone, even an elder. can study the word and still get it wrong..the text you used says fully :
6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7 Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
many want to refute but can't encourage
That assumes you believe Jesus correctly.
It does not say you do.
You know what you do when you assume don't you?

Again, You are assumingThe correct doctrine I believe comes from God.![]()

2 Thessalonians 2:11Grace is unmerited. so what state would that be?
Actually Jesus gave us the answer.. do you remember?
I believe all correct doctrine which comes from God. Do you believe that means I am a Calvinist? I have never labeled myself a Calvinist.that's why I'm asking you not a Calvinist?
Jesus did not say that Paul did.2 Thessalonians 2:11
11 That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.

Again, What did Jesus say
Paul said this too.1 Corinthians 11:27
