Scriptural Basis for the Alternative to the Five Points of Calvinism & Arminianism Biblical Basis of the Five Points of the Simplified Soteriological Proposition (SSP): ================================= By Samie S. Pimentel The following discussions take up each of the Five Points, similarly...

An Alternative to the Five Points of Calvinism & Arminianism ========================= A) & B) compare the five points of Calvinism and the five points of Arminianism arising out of the Dutch Remonstrance controversy. Adapted from “Romans and Interpretive Outline” by David N Steele and Curtis C...

The Born-In-Sin doctrine (BIS doctrine) teaches that people are physically born into this world APART from Christ. It further teaches that for one to be in Christ, one must first "accept, believe, repent", etc... Despite its proponents' vehement denial, the BIS doctrine smells of works-based...

Are we aware of the reason? If not, then it's about time we delve deeper into Scriptures about the One New Man that Christ created in Himself: NIV Ephesians 2: 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by...

NIV Ephesians 2: 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making...

In the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin and lost son (Luke 15), Christ taught that: 1. Before the sheep got lost, it was in the sheep fold with its shepherd. 2. Before the coin was lost, it was with its owner. 3. Before the son went lost, he was at home with his father. So with us all. We...

CJB Job 26:10 He fixed a circle on the surface of the water, defining the boundary between light and dark. The sunset line could only be a circle if the world is round instead of flat. Hello, flat-earthers....

In the gospel that He preached, Christ commanded people to repent and believe: KJV Mark 1:14-15 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye...

Both Arminians and Calvinists teach that people are born in sin, born NOT in Christ. And to be in Christ they must believe. But Jesus taught otherwise as He Himself told His disciples: Apart from me you can do NOTHING (John 15:5). Why can people do NOTHING when NOT in Christ? Because Christ...

Both Arminians and Calvinists teach that people are born in sin. And to be born in sin is to be born lost, being born NOT in Christ. But Jesus taught otherwise as He explained in the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin and lost son (Luke 15:1-24). Before the sheep got lost, it was with its...

Both Calvinists and Arminians believe that people are born in sin, hence, born NOT part of the body of Christ. I believe people are born ALREADY part of the body of Christ, by God's grace. But if NOT, as Calvinists and Arminians teach, then what must one do to become part of the body of...

In John 3, Jesus told Nicodemus, that unless one is born again, he couldn't enter the kingdom of heaven. But how is one born again? What does Scripture say?

Preachers of the doctrine "people are born in sin", both Arminians and Calvinists, also teach that unless people first believe, they could not be in Christ. What is amazing is these preachers seem to NOT realize that their twin doctrine brings about an impossibility for people to be in Christ...

. . . If there is impurity in it! The impurity is the doctrine that people are born in sin. Arminians and Calvinists both have this impurity in the gospel they preach. If you still have this impurity in the gospel that you preach, better remove it or be cursed. See Gal 1:6-9. Instead of born...

To start with, what, to you, does the Bible tell us in these verses: KJV Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. KJV Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I...

My answer is No. Why? Because He taught exactly the opposite, that is, people begin life NOT lost. In the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son (Luke 15:1 – 24), Christ taught that people begin life NOT lost: 1. Before the sheep got lost, it was with its shepherd in...

Instead, it should be "Believe to receive eternal life".

According to both camps, people are born in sin, hence born lost. Unless they believe, they could not be saved. With this false gospel the unsaved can NEVER be saved, here's why: If one is not saved, he is NOT in Christ. If he is not in Christ, he cannot bear fruit. If he cannot bear fruit, he...

Majority of Christian preachers teach BEFORE. I believe that to teach such is to teach against what Christ Himself taught. Our Savior told His disciples that APART from Him they can do NOTHING (John 15:5). So, if one can BELIEVE, then he can do SOMETHING instead of NOTHING and that simply...

IMHO, the gospel popularly preached to the world is not the one referred to by Jesus. I think, the gospel most preachers preach even goes against the words of Jesus Himself in at least two points. 1. Whereas Jesus said man can do NOTHING when apart from Him (John 15:5), most preachers...
