    Understanding God’s election

    Hello GWH, I am enjoying our interaction so far, even if we have not found total agreement yet. I would like to answer your points here; 1] Mankind has fallen and rebelled against God and His word. We all deserve the just wrath of God for our sinful rebellion. That is why it is called MERCY...

    Understanding God’s election

    Hello GWH, It is not true that all men are going to be saved. It is not true that all men even hear the name of Jesus. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher...

    Understanding God’s election

    Hello GWH, Thanks for responding. I answered your first point. God does save everyone" all inclusive" He never purposed to do so. The Ot High Priest wore 12 stones on his breastplate for the 12 tribes who he interceded for.It was for Israel only in the OT. No Atonement was made for those...

    New Christian, big questions for now, still got the training wheels on!

    Les, Do not seek feelings and tingling experiences, but rather Look to the abundant scriptures we are told to obey. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not...

    What Changed?

    Allow me to elaborate a bit. God has elected all those He intends to save, before creation.; 9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began., We can agree...

    What Changed?

    Hello Rufus, You are correct, I am a reformed Baptist.
