ECT What about holiness displayed by the Christian?

[Nanja]

Nobody exhibits any holiness, godliness if they dont acknowledge the Truth of the Gospel Titus 1:1

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

And Yes the Truths of Tulip are the Truth of the Gospel !

Agree!

Godliness is acknowledging the Truth of the Gospel.

Those who were Chosen to Salvation, they shall Believe the Truth,
because Faith / Belief is a Fruit of the Spirit Gal. 5:22 given in New Birth.

2 Thes. 2:13-14
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because
God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit
and belief of the truth: v.14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining
of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.


So Belief of the Truth is a Salvation experience that God's Elect have been chosen to.


Rom. 8:16-17
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
v17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we
suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Gal. 4:6-7
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.



So this is how a person can surely know that he has been Chosen to Eternal LIfe Eph. 1:4-5; 2 Tim. 1:9!

1) He is given the Holy Spirit in New Birth passively, as a result of being Chosen by God to Salvation

2) He Believes the Truth of the Gospel, the Truths of TULIP:


Total Depravity Jer. 17:9.
Unconditional Election Rom. 9:11
Limited Atonement Mat. 1:21
Irresistible Grace Rom. 8:30
Perseverance of the Saints Rom. 8:30
