How the Gospel Works

[Tambora]

Nang can't answer that last question

We shall see.

 

[Tambora]

I don't know. Do you?

He would have to be either elect or reprobate, would he not?
Or is there a third category men can be in?

 

[Nang]

AFTER he fell, what was it Adam needed to believe to be saved?

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, through the word of God alone, to the glory of God alone.

 

[Eagles Wings]

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, through the word of God alone, to the glory of God alone.

Amen!

 

[Eagles Wings]

Nang can't answer that last question

Pony up some answers yourself.

:yawn:

 

[Eagles Wings]

I do not lie.

So, why do you rebuke me in this manner, but have nothing similar to say to all the female posters in your MAD club?

His is no legitimate rebuke, Nang, just a disgruntled anti-Calvinist.

 

[Epoisses]

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, through the word of God alone, to the glory of God alone.

...as interpreted by John Calvin alone.

 

[Eagles Wings]

:yawn:

Exactly.

 

[Nang]

He would have to be either elect or reprobate, would he not?
Or is there a third category men can be in?

Agreed.

There is no third condition of the soul.

 

[patrick jane]

Exactly.

I've made my beliefs clear on TOL . I don't feel the need to re-hash it at this time. I thought calvinists were the ones with all the answers. Wrong answers :doh:

 

[Tambora]

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, through the word of God alone, to the glory of God alone.

Does scripture confirm that info was available in Adam's lifetime to believe in?

 

[Tambora]

Pony up some answers yourself.

Saddle up, EE!

 

[Nang]

Does scripture confirm that info was available in Adam's lifetime to believe in?

You do not think so, but I believe God clearly revealed
his Gospel message in Genesis 3:15 saying through His
New Covenant promise of the Seed brought forth from woman, Satan would be destroyed.

 

[glorydaz]

Okay, let's chase that rabbit.

"Wait a minute. WHY would I WANT to even listen to a God like that? WHY would I WANT to try to find out when He clearly lies about who He wants to save and who He doesn't? I don't WANT to belong to a God like that. Why would YOU want to?"

That conversation is the direct result of Calvinism's blasphemy of God.

Your response to that person would be...?

That's what I'm saying. If the Calvinists are going to preach the Gospel....all well and good. But, if they start preaching that God has already decided who He is going to save, then they are turning people away from God instead of preaching the Gospel (which is good news). :think:

 

[glorydaz]

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, through the word of God alone, to the glory of God alone.

There are too many "alone"s in there for any to be alone.

 

[Nang]

That's what I'm saying. If the Calvinists are going to preach the Gospel....all well and good. But, if they start preaching that God has already decided who He is going to save, then they are turning people away from God instead of preaching the Gospel (which is good news). :think:

Why would people turn away from finding out God has always loved them and determined to save them from their sins?

What do you consider negative about that good news?

 

[Tambora]

You do not think so, but I believe God clearly revealed
his Gospel message in Genesis 3:15 saying through His

That's a whole lot sketchier than ...

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, through the word of God alone, to the glory of God alone.

Regardless, if it was CLEARLY revealed to Adam, then Adam believed, otherwise it would not have been CLEARLY revealed to him.

You think maybe the fact that GOD covered Adam and Eve had something to do with GOD saving them?
Or was that all just for a different fashion fad?

 

[Nang]

There are too many "alone"s in there for any to be alone.

You can be ornery and insist on believing in only one "alone."

Which one do you think best proclaims the Gospel?

 

[patrick jane]

Why would people turn away from finding out AND BELIEVING God has always loved them and determined to save them from their sins?

What do you consider negative about that good news?

fixed that for ya
