I've stated this to him in the past as well. You probably picked up on that and plagiarized me in post #89.

Antinomianism. Jesus rejects this in Matthew 7:23 showing those who practice lawlessness are lost in their sins and hell bound.
Uh huh, just as I suspected, you are adhering to free grace theology, where one can live like the devil and yet still go to heaven as an unrepentant scoundrel yet be welcomed into heaven with open arms.
If it makes you sleep better at night my friend.I've stated this to him in the past as well. You probably picked up on that and plagiarized me in post #89.![]()
conversion comes only after regeneration. The natural man cannot be converted to see the gospel until after he is regenerated. Yes I keep harping about the natural man because you keep saying that he responds to the spiritual gospel before he is regenerated and given the Holy Spirit. I would not have to keep bringing the natural man up if you would just go by what the scripture says and quit giving the natural man the ability to discern spiritual things. The only way that repentance of man is connected to God is that he commands him to repent and he pricks his changed heart after he is regenerated. none of this happens before regeneration. You may think you have, but you have not refuted anything, you have just shown your lack of knowledge of the scriptures.Yet your doctrine doesn't harmonize, has grave errors, and you change or waver on your beliefs after you're refuted. Example? You've mitigated the importance of repentance being a work of man or work of God when the fact is that upon your belief of the former rests your entire position. It's been proven incorrect, it is not a work of man.
You can't just act like that's no big deal now as you did in post #452 where you stated: "Whether it is a gift of God is not the point." That's where you wavered on your all important teaching.
It is a big deal, and it is the point. It clearly shows you're incorrect from the start.
Once again here is some refutation of your argument with Scriptural context:
For instance 2 Timothy 2:8-10.
Context? Preaching the Gospel, verse 8.
Objective? That the elect will be saved, verse 9.
Extent? That this salvation is eternal life in Christ, verse 10.
Second instance:
You've stated repentance and works are of man, therefore Gospel salvation cannot be eternal. OK, fine, that is your argument and basis for rejecting that eternal salvation is given by means of the Gospel, 1 Corinthians 1:21 &c.
Yet, we've shown you repentance and faith concerning the Gospel are not works of man, but the work of God. You've just blown that off. But you cannot do this when proven incorrect. When proven incorrect you have to accept it, and all it entails. I will be more than glad to receive correction once you prove me incorrect, but you're not doing that.
Conclusion? Your theory that it cannot be eternal salvation because these are works of man falls flat on its face and is disproven. Therefore your theory that Gospel salvation cannot be eternal is incorrect.
Lastly? Repeating the same lines over and again are quite tiresome bro. Seriously that is what you do, not trying to be ugly. You repeat what we already know and things we've already agreed with you on.
We've also been addressing each argument you offer, refuting them line by line, yet you skip over main points of our arguments only to repeat "the natural man cannot receive the things of the spirit of God" and Ephesians 2:5. Come on sir, that is not a debate, it's a cop out.
We already know these texts and agree on this concerning natural man, yet God takes natural man and converts him.
You really ought to concede that you've been refuted at the very foundation of your doctrine as shown above.
Are you saying that I grouped the sum of all of the native american as the elect, not so, they are just as we are, some elect and some not and no one can tell them apart for sure. You do that, time, and time again about asserting what I believe, and I don't think you have any idea what I believe, so quit trying to conform me to your liking, in order to ridicule me.Oh please!!!
Um, the Native Americans? Happy hunting ground? Ring a bell? Please see yourself for once and be honest with things you state.
For the record all PB's do this, they can "tell" who the elect are. You've done it yourself. It's a practice of PB's and you know it.
Next!
Yes, God's grace is free, you cannot earn it. If by his foreknowledge he saw that all mankind was filthy and that none would seek after him and that is who he choose his elect from and had Christ to clean them up. I would term that as free grace.Well, you say God’s elect can live like hellions and still be welcomed into heaven. I called you on this many pages ago. You are advocating free grace theology my friend.

After 25 pages we finally know the reason WHY we should choose a primitive baptist Realtor... because they dont believe in the "Great Commission"![]()

FGC and the PB's have it fixed in such a way that the elect don't have to have any faith. Think about it, if this were true then Universalism is true. According to their teaching, who are we to say someone isn't converted, they don't even have to believe in Christ, the Gospel, nothing. Believe in the afterlife and *BAM* you're in! (better yet, who are they to say that others are converted due to their claims that go against Scripture?)
We are justified by faith, that is a truth of the Gospel for certain. There are no other classes of the converted. But FGC doesn't deal with context, all passages are divorced from context.
The regenerated American Indian believed in a spiritual God, but had not been taught what to call him. That thought does not even enter the mind of the natural man who has not the Spirit of God dwelling within him. Some of your heckling reminds me of what Jesus had to go through. We can discuss the scriptures in a rational tone, if you can discipline yourself to do so.That's beside the point.
Nice try though.
You claimed they are elect because they believe in the happy hunting ground and used it as evidence for your false gospel and as proof that your misinterpretation of 1 Corinthians 2:14 is true. You then said you never stated you know who are elect later on after you made this absurd claim and after I called you on it.
In conclusion? Um, yes, you do claim this and so do other PB's, well known fact and goes with the territory of your gnostic false gospel.
Uh-huh.
A while back you could tell them apart, that is, until you got called on it. Now you're being deceitful and disingenuous, trying to weasel your way out of it. Own yourself and the asinine claims you make.
I just go by what you say and then you try to wiggle out of it. Any honest person can see that you're a person who makes up what others believe based on NOTHING they've ever said. I base your beliefs on what you ACTUALLY say and you try to wiggle out of it.
Quite dishonest of you, but you're the one painting your picture of yourself on here.
Faith is a fruit of the Spirit. When you are born of the Spirit your faith that is given to you in regeneration grows as you come unto a knowledge of the truth.I am not familiar with those abbreviations. Is one Plymouth Brethren?
I do agree with the faith issue . God reckons the whole human race as having none.(no faith) Many from my experience think they have some faith to start with .But that is not a biblical teaching.
