You follow a CULT - Jehova's Witnesses is a dangerous cult

[Ask Mr. Religion]

You would be hard pressed to quote any Calvinist;s exegesis of any word from Scripture, apart from FIRST defining context.

This is a false charge.

Indeed.

It's Calvinists that do that, edit.

I have seen more than a few MADist say "repentance" is for Israel and not the B.O.C.

Want to see one who yanks scripture out of context then go look in a mirror ?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Their minds have been so compartmentalized into multiple time slots, they have lost all ability to think globally at all.

Your minds have been so focused on blending that you cannot see the things that God has made different, for his own purposes, and for his glory.

"Blending?" It would be interesting to know how you come up with that description of my historical and global view of reality . . unless you accuse me of being too preoccupied with making margaritas!

Of course God has created many things to be different, but His Everlasting Covenant and Gospel promise of redemption, is singular and the same, down through the ages.

[Tambora]

You follow Calvin's teaching.

Your "meshak phobia" is so obvious.

Get to know Jesus and strive to follow Him, so you wont be so afraid.

[meshak]

what specifically of calvin's teaching does musty follow?

OSAS and "faith only" gospel.

These are Calvin's teaching, and majority of protestants believe it..

Jealous much?

 

[Nang]

what specifically of calvin's teaching does musty follow?

Absolutely none.

Meshak considers all teachings of grace alone to be suspect . . .

 

[meshak]

Absolutely none.

Nang, OSAS and grace alone is not Calvin's teaching? And I know most protestants follow these doctrines.

I know MADs follow those doctrines too.

 

[Nang]

Nang, OSAS and grace alone is not Calvin's teaching?

OSAS is not Calvinistic. OSAS is antinomian (lawlessness). MAD and others think, once a soul is forgiven, any and all sinful acts are excused and one cannot lose their salvation, even if committing unrepentant sin. In fact, they believe repentance is a lack of faith and sinful in itself.

Reformers (Calvinists) believe that God alone saves according to grace, not works, and that this salvation is permanent and will be preserved unto everlasting life, according to the same saving/justifying grace of God (not works).

Evidence of this promise of everlasting life, is a sanctified life of obedience, produced by the same Holy Spirit of Christ that justified His people to start with.

 

[meshak]

OSAS is not Calvinistic.

One of Baptists claimed it is.

rs (Calvinists) believe that God alone saves according to grace, not works, and that this salvation is permanent and will be preserved unto everlasting life, according to the same saving/justifying grace of God (not works).

So do madists.

 

[Nang]

One of Baptists claimed it is.

A lot of people get OSAS confused with the Reformed doctrine of "Preservation of the Saints."

Two different doctrines of belief.

The Arminian (OSAS) believes grace gives free license to sin and practice of lawlessness, without consequence.

The Calvinist (PSOS) teaches permanent salvation via sanctified obedience according to grace & provision from God.

So Baptists are not Calvinists?
