Refuting a reasonable Arminian’s arguments against Calvinism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO92L11L9jc&fbclid=IwAR395IpOFNsdTEjW8ryzXhu4hjBfYOZI1KmuYTcCz-OL-XIiuX1RAvw1quk Brother Mike, I believe you have several things wrong in your presentation, though you have a lot that is good. You gave us the wrong grammar in Ephesians 2:8 and you have wrongly stated that Calvinists view faith as a work - it is a gift, not a work. Here is the question that "free will" religionists cannot answer BIBLICALLY. They have lots of opinions, but not Scripture that tells us "WHY do some people have faith and others do not?" The Bible DO…

I have seen on a number of threads here this "repentance unto salvation" terminolgy used. I am curious as to the doctrine behind this and how many people in the IB churches ascribe to this doctrine?

Recently heard a preacher say that if someone doesn't believe in the diety of Christ, or does not believe Christ is God, that person can't be saved. Does anyone know where this doctrine came from in the Bible and/or what verse(s) substantiate this statement? This is not a discussion of the trinity, or church history, or creeds. I would like to keep this focused on the question. Thanks.

Recognizing that one is totally unable to save or help save himself, a man is justified or declared righteous in the sight of God when he entrusts his soul to Christ alone to give him eternal salvation. It is not possible to savingly believe on Jesus Christ and think that ones works have anything to do with the forgiveness of sin. The Bible says, For by grace [undeserved favor] are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). If salvation is by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no mo…

I was saved on December 7, 1969 during an evangelistic crusade after hearing a message on hell from Luke 16:19-31. I had heard messages on tv about the second coming of Jesus Christ and was under conviction for several years. I said, "Lord, forgive me for all the sins that I have done, and I receive Jesus Christ as my own Lord and Savior." (Romans 10:9-13) God will do this for you to if you will place your faith in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior! John 1:12 says, "As many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." Amen and Amen! :Green :Green

Does anyone ever doubt their salvation? Or do you have any advice for someone who does? I am a huge worrywart, always have been. I tend to dwell on the "what if's" in life and stress over bad things. Obviously if I am going to worry so much over every little thing, something as huge and important as salvation is definitely going to be a worry of mine. I know what the Scripture says and know I am saved, but yet I always have this "what if" and fear in the back of my mind that I might not be. Is this normal or am I just weird?

Taken from BO We believe in order to truly pass from death to life a person must repent of their sins. remission of sins by grace through faith in Gods promise and Christ's blood. We believe good works do not and can never have any part in salvation. So what you are saying is salvation doesn't come from doing good, but it does come from quitting bad. This is why the definition of repent is so important. This leads ppl to confusion about what salvation is. If you want to kick me off, kick me off. JONAH 3:10

Hello Everyone, For some time now, I have been having doubts about my salvation. Every so often I will make a new profession of faith and believe I am saved; however, soon after, the doubts once again begin to arise as to whether I have truly been born again. I have prayed and studied concerning my situation, and I have come to the conclusion that if I possess a greater understanding of some key doctrines, then perhaps I can make a determination if I am saved or not. I have chosen a few terms of which I would like to possess a greater knowledge, and if anyone will contribute to my better understanding of them, I would sincerely appreciate it. If you would also pray for …

I have a question regarding salvation. I believe we are saved when we believe in the gospel....the moment. BUT, when I got saved I didn't really feel saved until I grew more as a christian, my faith grew, strengthened, and confirmed that i was indeed a child of God. Sometimes I doubt that I was saved at that moment, because I didn't feel like it. On the other hand, I don't believe we are saved on confidence, but all faith we have on Jesus and 0 on everything else. In other words, it doesn't matter how much faith we have, just that it all must be on him. Thoughts?

I don't really care what all y'all think. I could ask 20 people and get 20 different answers I want to know what Samer thinks (I emailed him and he never replied, so hopefully he will reply here). I'm not sizing you up for debate brother. I just want to know. If there is a place on the forum where you have defined it, please point me there. Would you agree with H.A. Ironside and his definition of repentance in these following quotes? "Repentance is the very opposite of meritorious experience. It is the confession that one is utterly without merit, and if he is ever saved at all it can only be through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, 'who gave himself a rans…

We had a missionary come to our church Sunday night and, while he was giving his testimony, he said that he got saved at the age of 3. I myself find this hard to believe and consider it to be an insult to my intelligence. We have 10 children and none of them were ready to be saved at 3, 4, or 5 years of age. My wife said that I should have asked him if he was still in diapers or was he potty trained when he got saved.

Some have the opinion that I am wrong in my view of eternal security. Here is one post I stated - "Hold on here fellas. Eternal life starts at death. We don't get eternal life while here, so we can't lose it! It is the promise of eternal life that Christ purchased through his death burial and resurrection. That promise is fulfilled in each one that believes in Jesus Christ with all their heart. When someone believes with all their heart, they don't just one day choose not to. That is not the type of creature we are after salvation. The scriptures say we are a NEW creature! Not the old. Yes we can choose to disobey and do ungodl…

I have a question. The moment Christ died on the cross, did He save you and reconcile you to God or did He make you savable and make it possible for you to be reconciled to God? What do you think and why?

I have read many posts over the internet concerning infants and death. People wonder where an infant goes when it dies. I do not believe all babies that die in infancy go to heaven, nor do I believe they all go to hell. I do believe I have Scriptural support for my conclusions. I will deal first with the reality of some being born wicked. In Psalm 58:3, we read that "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies." In interesting verse to say the least. It shows that there are wicked born in this world. Now, let's jump to Hosea 13:16, where we read the LORD God ordering that infants be dashed to pieces. Wow. Su…

Where do the scriptures teach that a soul is eternal? I know a born-again soul will live eternally, that is easy enough to prove. But what about unregenerate souls? What scripture teaches they have eternal life? Thanks, Doug

If there ever is a doctrine that takes away the full assurance of hope and being with Christ, our Savior upon physical death . . . then it has got to be the false doctrine of soul sleep. One of my pet peeves are those who teach and promote false doctrines and heresies -- even on the web. I often email them and challenge them to a debate. I came across a website that promotes the false doctrine of "soul sleep" http://wordonly.net/CI06.html and was stunned at just how the author twisted scripture out of context with eisegesis and poor understanding of simple vocabulary that even a child can grasp. There is no "soul sleep". Immediately upon death, the spirit goes eithe…

Yes, I love listening to Bruce. He brought real truth to what it means to be an actual Christian. I really appreciated how he pointed out Platonic and Socrates world views in Christian religion. He's a real life-giver.

Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular. What if there were no hypothetical questions? Most people are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician. What do sprinters eat before a race? Nothing. They fast. Did you hear about the alligator that became a private eye? It was an investigator.
