God says what he says. Nothing to speculate about. Either you believe in the Holy Spirit striving inwardly that leads a man to faith resulting in eternal salvation or you don’t. All you guys in here spend so much time debating. A lost man who doesn’t want to believe in salvation by the blood of...

I always have found it funny that the people who believe in Calvinism so happened to be among the elect.

But it is faith apart from any works or bringing some type of merit to God on my own behalf. Like wicked Cain, who brought the fruit of his own labor. God supplied able his own offering. All Abel had to do was bring the blood sacrifice to God, which God himself provided. And God even provided...

God can’t save a man unless he trusts in Christ. It’s not that he won’t. He can’t. If a man is saved by grace through faith, and without faith it is impossible to please Him. Then it is impossible to be saved without it.

I was just simply stating that saying or repeating a prayer doesn’t save. It takes God to save a man

In fact, just move on and forget it. No problem. I wrote it for people who are in need of some help. You seem to have it figured out without reading it.

I can’t help that you can’t maintain attention to a few sentences. I said nothing about deriving a doctrine from experience. If you’ll take 30 more seconds to read what I said.

There is great concern in my heart and a lot of heaviness over what is being taught in churches and over the internet. Not everyone has the same experience of grace that I had. I understand that. And I do believe that salvation is simple and is a free gift. But so many people are claiming to...

You have no idea what my personal struggle was. I find a lot of people are way too lax in their personal testimony. There’s no possible way that people just believe. The Bible says that people press into the kingdom. Now it is a free gift. And all I did was receive it. But there was a process...

As far as easy believism is concerned, there was nothing easy about believing. I went through a struggle for many years until I had peace with God. I repented, was baptized over 20 times, cleaned up my act, resisted sin, cried at the top of my lungs for Jesus to save me during one altar service...

Actsnwas not church doctrine. It was acts after the resurrection of Christ. A lot of people claim that it has doctrine. For instance on the day of Pentecost Peter told those who were pricked in heart to repent and be baptized. Baptism does not save. Nor does it factor into salvation. Acts 16:31...

acts is a transition period for the church from Christ to New Testament doctrine. The acts wasn’t a doctrinal book. It was a transitional period

As far as lordship salvation and easy believism goes, salvation is only on this wise. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus (confess that he is God almighty and sovereign over people places and things), and shalt believe (believe on, trust in) thine heart that God hath raised him...

You know I haven’t seen so much bickering amongst Christians as I have in here. Paul would write a letter to you if he was still alive. He would tell you what he told the corinthians. To know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. God saves, keeps, and will one day deliver his...

Maybe this will help. The law was given for the purpose of bringing us to Christ. Now it would be to our advantage to obey what God tells us to do after we’re saved. So that we aren’t chastened of the lord. But obedience to the law hasn’t anything to do with salvation. (Romans 3:28)

People make what we do the big deal. I don’t remember even saying a prayer, though I had said it a million times. I didn’t tell God how sorry I was. He already knew. I just trusted Christ. And it made me want to serve him. That’s it. Simple faith. My conversion was very similar to John Wesley in...

I tried for many years to “get saved”, “make a commitment “, “accept Jesus as lord and savior “. I went forward in many church services. Got baptized over twenty times must have been. “Prayed through “. I did it all. I even went forward in a church service on my knees publicly in humility. Cried...

Very good advice. Make your calling and election sure. Don’t let another man decide it for you. Take God at his word and rely solely on what he says, not on commentaries, other preachers, or comments posted.
