Arminius (1560-1609), a Dutch theologian, stressed that God has predestined all who believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life and those who reject Him for eternal separation from God; that He has given us as human beings true freedom to accept or reject this salvation; that He offers grace to enable all persons to repent and believe; and that believers are secure spiritually in Christ based on continued faith and obedience to God. Wesley was a priest in the Church of England in the 1700's and the founder of the Methodist movement. He added to ...

258: Difficult Questions for Mormons to answer
If the original 1830 Book of Mormon was inspired than why were there so many errors and changes and additions and deletions, when compared to current editions? How can we be assured that the translation of the B of M into French or any other language is correct? Only the English translation is claimed to be inspired! How do you account for the stunning parallels in both content and order between the B of M and the View of the Hebrews, by Ethan Smith? Published in 1823 (7 years before the B of M) less than 100 miles from the Joseph Smith's parents home. Mormon Article of Faith #8: "We Believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."

However, while we hold such baptism to be necessary in obedience to the Scriptures, we do not believe that it is necessary for salvation, and we believe that little children (who are not old enough to confess faith in Christ) are safe in the love of God. 4.

Today, the family system of life is a major issue in the Devil's warfare against God's design for a fulfilling human relationship. Many couples are asking themselves what is missing in their relationship with one another? Why don't parents really feel close to their children? Why doesn't the family have that warm, close feeling that families should have? Could anything change the situation and bring the joy back ... An outstanding example of the expression of appreciation is found in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Thessalonians. The first chapter of I Thessalonians is a hymn of praise and thanksgiving for the faith, love and. steadfastness of the Thessalonians. Paul certainly expressed his appreciation for these members of the family of God. ... ...

277: Texts Calvinists misuse to prove "Calvinistic Predestination
Those who hear, believe and respond in obedience are referred to as "the called" (Gal. 1:6; 1 Pet. 2:9). In Romans 8:29-30, we can see the unfolding of God's plan. God determined to send mankind a Savior to die for all men. He foreordained all of the events before they actually took place. In that sense, God predestinated our salvation. It wax not that He selected us individually to be saved or lost, but that those who accepted the gospel call would be saved. Those who answer that call are justified and glorified. 4. Ephesians 1:4-5,11 God has had an eternal plan in mind - a scheme of redemption for those who will accept it. Those who are chosen are those who are "in Him" (Christ) vs. 3-4 We become God's children by our faith in and obedience to Christ's gospel (v. 5). God adopts us into His family upon our obedience (Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:4-6). The counsel of God's will (v. 11) refers to His decision to send Jesus to redeem the obedient. Conclusion The Bible does teach predestination, but ... ...

After all, Calvinists and Arminians cannot both be right; all the dialectic in the world cannot reconcile two completely irreconcilable doctrines. (THE WAY: What Every Protestant Should Know About the Orthodox Church, Clark Carlton, 1997, p 81) II. Protestant/Reformed: Inward Witness Creedalists: A. Falsely believe the Holy Spirit guides or "illuminates" them to understand the Bible: "Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word" (Westminster Confession of faith, 6:6) If the Scriptures be a plain book, and the Spirit performs the functions of a teacher to all the children of God, it follows inevitably that they must agree in all essential matters in their interpretation of the Bible. And from that fact it follows that for an individual Christian to dissent from the faith of the universal Church (i.e., the body of true believers), is tantamount to dissenting from the ... ...
