.You keep inadvertently implying it though with what you say at times .
No, every time I gave direct quotes from Paul on that. Direct and word for word.
.You keep inadvertently implying it though with what you say at times .
I lost count as to how many times you have told him and others this basic truth if your beliefI do not believe in partial regeneration and I do not believe in regeneration before faith, your post does not apply to me.
The answer is in the verse above it .Ok. We’re born again through faith. We are on the same page. Poof.
Now John says we are not born by the will of the flesh. What does that tell us about faith?
Yet he does not belief in poof theology in spite of how many times you accuse him. You should be ashamed of yourselfAnother misunderstood verse ... which supports POOF theology.
Regeneration is the work of God . Everything happens after we believe. Faith is the prerequisite.
It’s the word of God? Just because they use it does not mean they believe in the Calvinist interpretationI need to go back to the Stirring the Pot Thread and the other Calvinists threads and find all my posts refuting these isolated proof texts.
If they do not follow Reformed Theology the interpretation of Calvinism why do they use the same proof texts.![]()
The answer is in the verse above it .Very good. I agree. So we are not born of God by an act of the will. We agree
Apart from any act of God amen.If the context says you were born again by an act of your human willpower, I’ll eat my hat.
God does not help a person come to faith? By giving him the ability to trust him?The bible is mocked by saying God causes belief in those he saves .
The answer is in the verse above it .Very good. I agree. So we are not born of God by an act of the will. We agree. And if we are not born of God by an act of the will, it follows we are not saved by an act of the will.
Amen way to many Calvin debates. Sadly we now have threads where people are accused of being Calvinist where they are notnummm
you totally missed my lack of objectivity
but then again, you are relatively new
I was not being serious, but here is a sample of me being serious
I was born again because God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that we might have eternal life
my righteousness is not forced on me. I, like Abraham, believed God and that is called faith
this forum has had so many Calvinist debates that they are threadbare...forgive the pun (or not...it is your choice...ooo bad word)
So god chose for you you do not chose?You were not born of God but an act of your will. That would make you your own Saviour and the one who began the work.
Good luck with that.

I am not sure which is worse. The calvinists trying to force their will or the anti calvinists trying to make everyone calvinist
The answer is in the verse above it .
12But as many as received him , to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name .Just to make the point again)
So god chose for you you do not chose?
