There is a difference between having a record of sins that is wiped clean, by the death of Christ, and learning to reduce our yielding to sin by learning to live more constantly in conscious fellowship (abiding in) with Jesus Christ.

I can't be a licensed driver until I turn 16, have passed by drivers theory test, had driving lessons and passed my practical driving test. If my father tells me "You can't be a licensed driver until you are 16," is he right? Does "You can't be a licensed driver until you are 16," mean that aa...

No one is born of God just because Jesus died for them and took away their sins and reconciled them to God. We are born again by receiving a new spirit after we put our trust in the One who died for our sins.

What do those "it"s refer to? I understand the new birth.

So then you agree they were ordained to eternal life before they believed? I agree. They had been ordained to eternal life by believing the gospel before they then heard and believed Paul's report of God's commissioning him to go to the Gentiles.

just posting scriptures to support your point I couldn't tell whether you were in support or correcting me.

Romans 7:24 - 8:17 contradicts you. I agree.

No, you have it exactly backwards and you're intentionally taking liberties with the verse and its meaning that are incorrect. According to the verse, true belief comes from having been ordained to eternal life, not the reverse. For it to mean what you said it means, it would have had to be...

I don't require God to run the universe any particular way, He is God. I am not. I am in no position to demand God run the universe as I think He should.

Feel free to explain what you think thr difference between theism and deism is, if you know, and why I am a deist. I believ God is running the world tht way He wants to. He is sovereign, and is not required to run the world as calvinists insist He should. Who are you, o man, to contradict God...

That is not what the Bible says. Rom. 5::9-10 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his nlood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. For is while we were enemies we were reconciled to god by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be...

That response in no clearer. APB. Can anyone understand Cameron's theory here, and explain it in simple terms?

[Act 13:48 KJV] 48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Yes, I believe that verse too. We are ordained to eternal life by believing the gospel. Those men had believed the gospel. They also...

Jesus atonement by His death is not enough to save anyone. We are saved by His life working in us, and we do not receive His life unless we put our trust in Jesus Christ.

“Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls….. praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:41, 47‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “Then Peter said unto...

"They saved themselves". Guess your POV is pretty much summed up with those three words. Actually, no surprise there. Well, so much for Christ as the Saviour (at least in your mind). Okay, based upon your statement, no need to discuss this further. Its sad how readily you reject any...

Yes. That's what the Bible says.
