knowing the truth wrote: some of His most stern words and sharpest rebukes were to those [Jewish leaders] who mixed the truth of God with the commandments of men. Are you saying that as long as a person is not a Jew then they should be at liberty to mix truth with the commandments of men with impunity? |

You clearly have no knowledge of doctrinal matters. These things are just too hard for you. Just give up already, pleeeeeease! |

Not impressed wrote: Seaton, care to explain: Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? How are they going to ask for the Holy Spirit without the Holy Spirit? And if they already have the Spirit, why would they ask for Him? And bear in mind the Lord Jesus is speaking here of those he calls evil. IOW they are not converted! Good one |

NOTbyworks wrote: They did not! Thanks. You have given me the answer to my first question by your response. I suggest you take this matter up with your pastor, if you have one, because you need help that no one on SA can give. Exposition of Acts Alexander McClaren Acts 14.27 “Faith is the means of God’s entrance into our hearts” "...Paul prayed for the Ephesian Christians ‘that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith,’ and there is no other way by which His indwelling is possible. Faith is not constituted the condition of that divine indwelling by any arbitrary appointment, as a sovereign might determine that he would enter a city by a certain route, chosen without any special reason from amongst many, but in the nature of things it is necessary that trust, and love which follows trust, and longing which follows love should be active in a soul if Christ is to enter in and abide there..." |

NOTbyworks wrote: And the *ONLY* way which a sinner can convert into a "believer" (faith) and have spiritual knowledge - is by the work of the Holy Spirit - which post Pentecost HE carries out by indwelling. This is the seal/stamp of the Spirit filled Christian. Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, You only have the seal/stamp after His work is completed - NOT before.. Go to the bottom of the class, bullet! Read Eph 1.13 again... in whom AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise. Can your poor brain process that? When were they sealed? AFTER THEY BELIEVED!! As I said you have no comprehension skills Now look at the order in the other verses that so far you have chosen to ignore because they devastate your case; verses which Hodge, Owen and Howe understood because they were spiritual and understood the Bible! |

NOTbyworks wrote: No, not at all! Hodge, Owen and WCF were Biblical Calvinists like me! (Don't know who 'Howe' is) They WERE biblical calvinists. Precisely why they differ from you, because you are anything but!If you don't know Howe, google "John Howe, puritan"! He too was a calvinist, as famous as Owen in his day. And what do you know, he too does not agree with you! Are you man enough to recant and repent? |

NOTbyworks wrote: ..This so well describes the conviction of some who rejected the indwelling of the Holy Spirit; - only to advocate the sinner semi-independantly overcoming dead in sin, enmity and spiritual blindness - all from a distance?? Presumably you include Hodge, Owen, Howe and the WCF as advocating the overcoming dead in sin, enmity and spiritual blindness all from a distance camp and therefore you class them all as Arminian? |
