We are saved from the wrath of God (Rom 1:18, Col 3:6), which results in everlasting death, eternal separation from God. Eternal Life is not being separated from God. Doug

Would Paul have discouraged those who listened to the the gospel preached by those who were preaching to discredit Paul? Paul's said he was happy because Christ was preached no matter the motivation of the preacher. What Ravi said and wrote is truth regardless of his actions. Doug

I am saying that prior to hearing about Christ, if Cornelius had died, he would have been in heaven because he demonstrated that he believed what God had revealed to him at that point in his life. If he had rejected the message of Christ then that would change the outcome of his life. But he...

Always! Doug

Nobody says that a Christian cannot or doesn't sin. The question is can one who maintains a pattern of unrepented sinful behavior while claiming and appearing to be a mature and outspoken Christian truly be a believer at the point of death! The Bible makes it clear that believers have been set...

The same righteousness that was found in Abraham, righteousness that comes by faith. Just open the book of Romans...you can't miss it! Everything in scripture is based on the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. Those who hear God's voice and believe, accept what God has revealed...

I did not say that.. Doug

This was neither a personal attack, nor an attempt at decisiveness; PG, quoting the WCF, may not be technically correct using the term "Calvinism Confession", for Calvinism is a theological perspective, not a denominational statement of faith and theological understanding. But it is...

What then is the Westminster Confession of Faith or the LBCF, both which espouse Calvinistic precepts as their core soteriology and are the go to catechisms of Reform theology? There is no catechism named the “Calivinism Confession of Faith”, but there are catechisms that are the definitive...

Your ignorance of argumentation is obvious! Your made the proposition that [and religions] is part of scripture, so it is your responsibility to uphold the validity of the statement/refute/render false opposing arguments. That is your burden to prove! All the rules of logic and hermeneutics...

Manfred, With all due respect, the inspired scriptures say he was, so it was God who calls him blameless, upright, and revering God, i.e., righteous! I am accustomed to believing his assessment over any other voice or opinion. Doug

Do the righteous, the blameless and upright who fear God and shun evil go to hell? Doug

Job 1:1In the land of Uz there lived a man w1In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2He had seven sons and three daughters, 3and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen...

It is not a Calvinistic one, it is an belief by all orthodox Christian theology. Yours is a works/merit theology that says good works are the cause of being saved, which is antithetical to the teaching of scripture, namely, “for by Grace you are saved, through faith...not by works” (Eph 2:8-9)...

Faith does not automatically produce continuous good works, but works are the evidence of faith. We know Abraham believed because he packed up his household and followed God to the place he would show him. Every nation does not mean every religion...which is the reason I objected to the...
