Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

because having believed we must also receive. We have to seal the deal.

God having subdued our will He is ready to will in us to do of His good pleasure.

Paul was told to go to the street called Straight in Damascus and enquire of one Ananias, there Ananias laid his hands upon him and he was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Cornelius of course must send for Simon Peter

These are not works as such but they are the process and we are active in it.

In another place Paul says that Christ was in him always only He was only revealed or made manifest at the time of Paul's conversion. Paul's conversion could never be said to be according to his will for his will was set to destroy the gospel.
Writing in Romans 7 he writes that when he wanted to do good he did evil instead, thanks be unto God Jesus Christ set him free from that bondage.

Everything wasn't revealed in the OT.

It was when it specifically says only the Prophets and High Priest were filled with the Spirit of God.

Everyone else was a natural man.

You are just making things up when the Mikra flat out tells us who had the Spirit of God and who did not.

Do you believe the OT supercedes the NT? And when did John 14:6 become true?

TWO COVENANTS and they worked differently.

One even involved blinding/deafening the JEWS so a Gentile like you could be saved.

But in the first covenant even a Gentile like you could be under the Law.

I'm not making anything up. I'm quoting scripture. Now answer the questions:
Does the OT supercede the NT?
When did John 14:6 become true?

John 14:6 is the New Covenant!

Abraham wasn't under the law. And salvation has never changed. Always through Christ.

So Jesus says no one can come to the Father but by Him, but that only applies to some?

God placed me in Christ long before there was a Jewish nation.

Those under the Law were saved by the Old Covenant.

You just can't stuff up.

Enoch and Elijah went to Heaven before Jesus died. Elijah was under the Law.

Every covenant was part of God's plan of redemption.

God placed Jesus as the one who would save Believers from the Foundation of the Earth.

People were justified by the law?

you can't see beyond this seeming impossible conundrum because ....

because you have chosen to learn these doctrines from men, good men, I think Calvin is a brilliant theologian, Spurgeon is beloved to me. Yet when I read that God predestined men to be damned I sought God and cried for understanding.

God will teach me as readily as He will teach Calvin or Spurgeon. But Calvin never asked God, that's right. He was caught on the hop by one of his students who put the case to him in a question "If God has predestined us to saved and others are not saved, doesn't that mean God has predestined to damn them"

Calvin was stunned, he hesitated a long time thinking about it before reluctantly acknowledging that it must be true.

It has only ever been a supposition based upon pure human logic. The scripture is silent and Calvin's greater wisdom would have been to stay silent too. But he was on the spot.

God does not work according to human logic.

The same God who gave us the details about the Old Covenant is the same God who told us about the New and He said they were different.

So you are now saying He lied?

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law

The LAW was not led by the Spirit because that is the New Covenant not the Old!

The Law = Natural Man!
They DID NOT have the Holy Spirit but still chose to follow God as Natural Man!

That is mantalk.

The scripture you began to quote but veered off into commentary goes on to say it is impossible for God to be tempted of evil neither tempts He any man.

Another disingenuous post. I didn't say they weren't different. I said every covenant deals with God's plan for redemption.
