As it does mine, however, those who have gone before and held the faith, have much to offer us. To each their own though.

Glad you agree with us!

Thanks for affording me that choice.

It's nice to be granted choices by those who know better than we, innit?

Probably a lot we agree on.

Ahh, it was nothing. Oh, and I edited my post that told you to, relax. I am fighting sarcasm and since that is a word you like to use, I wanted to zing you a bit.

Yeah, I bow to the supposed Elect for what they don't have to offer.

I know.

I see that EW is keeping track of my posts. Read on Macbeth.

How so?

Before my family became members of the Body of Christ, my Father was raised a Methodist and like I mentioned earlier, my Mother was a Lutheran.

I know.

I hope you will forgive my rudeness.

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

Who wouldn't?

I don't blame you. If I were you, I'd be following me around the entire forum.

I don't mind rudeness if it's done with style and imagination.

Did they teach you from these two statements of faith? Were they at odds because of it?

We believe the Gospel of the grace of God is the power of God unto the salvation of any who believes it, Jew or Gentile. If they hear but refuse to believe, they'll be condemned for it.

You (correct me if I'm wrong) believe it will save only those who have been enabled to genuinely (salvifically) believe it. It cannot save those who were not first elected and enabled to believe it. So such who do "believe" have only a spurious faith that cannot save them, and so were as good as condemned long before they were born.

Accurate enough?

Tempting, but as my Dad used to say, "no dice".

Without dice, there's no gamble. With no gamble, there's no gain.

We weren't Church goers per se. We went to church on Christmas and Easter.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about those who will be or are damned.

Predestination and reprobation are taught in Reformed Theology and I've looked at Scripture that supports this doctrine.

Since God divinely intervenes and justifies those He chooses, who am I to argue?

I pray continuously for those who are in unbelief as I want for them the same joy and friendship I have with God.

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

Why would a Reformed believer pray for anyone to be saved? Because they are aware of the fact that God's sovereignty will prevail every time?
