    Woman who preaches in Church

    As I wrote on another thread, where would the mission field be without women? They out number men 3 to 1. They preach the Gospel, plant churches, feed the believers and God seems to bless their efforts!

    Are You *Really* Christians?

    Ben , what you are saying rings true here in Australia. I am reminded of a saying by Vance Havner, 'the average Christian is such that you have to backslide to have fellowship with him'. Most of the churches are liberal here and any evangelical ones have given themselves over to entertainment...

    female preacher

    Where would we be if it wasn't for women on the mission field? They out number men 3 to 1. Look at the fruit of their ministry, obviously blessed by God.

    Dangerous Deception l RC Sproul

    Antinomianism is alive and well in the OSAS camp. They unashamedly state that once you are saved, it does not matter how you live, you are saved always.

    Wicked Lose your salvation Documentary on YouTube promoting a works based salvation

    I could equally state that OSAS is demonic. Satan told Eve she could sin and not die, even so OSAS says you can live in sin and not lose your salvation. You have a handful of verses (omitting the conditions), while ignoring the vast amount of Scripture that states salvation is conditional and...

    What is the gift of Righteousness?

    Justification by faith is forensic act by God whereby He forgives our sins and declares us righteous ie in right standing or acceptance with God. It is not something one feels but rather something one takes by faith based on the promises of the Bible.

    DO DISPENSATIONALIST KEEP THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ?

    I am a dispensationalist that attempts to keep the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are the Moral Law of God fleshed out so to speak. As such, they have never been abrogated, Christ summarized the the Moral Law into loving God with all your being and your neighbor as yourself. While the...

    Evangelical Arminianism

    Hi Clare, I see election/predestination as being 'corporate' not 'individual'. "He chose us IN HIM" Eph1:4. We are elect IN HIM. The Elect are those who by repentance & faith are IN HIM. Thus it is conditional. Peace Jeffrey

    Evangelical Arminianism

    Hi Ivan, From my reading of Scripture I find that Christ did not 'purchase' anything by His death , rather He 'provided' a way back to God. His atonement is SUFFICIENT for all but EFFECTIVE for only those who repent & believe. Peace Jeffrey

    Evangelical Arminianism

    Hi d taylor, The problems with the 'Free Grace' position are..... 1. The idea of OSAS. My reading of Scripture shows that a believer can turn from Christ and lose their salvation.. 2. A wrong view of repentance and a denial that it is a condition of salvation. 3. The view that one can take Jesus...

    Evangelical Arminianism

    Hi David, In answer to your question, basically the same thing. There are a number of variants of Arminianism. I am a Wesleyan Arminian, following the Arminianism of John Wesley. There is also, Reformed Arminianism as followed by the Free Will Baptists of North America. Cheers.

    Evangelical Arminianism

    Hi David, Arminians believe in a prevenient grace that frees the will to accept or reject the offer of salvation. Arminians believe in 'conditional' election as opposed to Calvinists believing in 'unconditional' election. As to security 'in Christ', most Arminians believe in conditional...

    Evangelical Arminianism

    Many people are looking for a viable alternative to Calvinism. I believe Evangelical Arminianism is that alternative. What it is can be viewed by the word 'FACTS' F Freed will. A Atonement for ALL. C Conditional election. T Total depravity. S Security "in Christ". It would seem to me to be more...
