What is this? Why are you attempting to disavow and run away from your cherished religious doctrine little buddy?

Be prepared for more of the same type of devastating expose tomorrow. I expect that you will be running for the hills.

This is the game they play, oh we do not deny volition, you can choose how to fix your coffee, they doctrine simultaneously over complicates and simplifies that is the game of the system.

A person can be in jail and realize they are in jail and trust in/have faith in the words of the Judge who states He has the power to open the gates to the cell to set the person free.


The system needs to be denounced. Until stealth Calvinism Christian was but in motion, mainline and Baptist denominations were not infected with this anti-gospel.

You are in the same boat as @cv5. You insist things are that are not. And for the same reasons.

You have clearly stated and affirmed that "spiritual regeneration precedes faith" that God must act first because people can only deny....ergo divine particular selection!!!

Again, falling into the same trap.

Question: does physical life precede physical activity?
 
I believe because before I was saved I believed in the Torah and Tanakh.
nice so your church is a Pentecostal church, does your church teach any kind of radical view to fight for free will and attack anyone who knows who likes the teachings of John Calvin on the bases of supporting this guy Jacobus Arminius.

And may i ask you why is human free will important to you in mans fallen condition
 
I have already clearly outlined that God cannot sanctify before He justifies, your argument is done.
The giving of life is not sanctification. Incorrectly identifying things doesn't make one right. It only exacerbates the error.

Please answer the question: does physical life precede physical activity?

Union with Christ (regeneration) cannot precede justification.

This denied whenever convenient. As it just was several times lately.

And whenever the determinists shell and peas hustle is failing under rigorous scrutiny.

Honestly, my Church doesn't care about the discussion between Calvin and Arminius. I first heard about this issue when I joined this website. My Church is busy following the Bible not what 2 men think the Bible is saying.

I only believe we have free will when God first manifests Himself and makes Himself known to us. We then have free will to choose if we believe it is God or not.

Union with Christ is what election is all about. And that occurred before the foundation of the world. We simply see it fulfilled in space and time.

Why won't you answer my question?

ok So your belief of any type of freedom man has in there fallen condition is result of some kind of manifestation,

So then your concern is based on more about the freedom you have whilst God is knowing you.

Would you agree you wouldn't have come to believe without this happening of God's manifestation
