Now the way some Calvinists/Reformed twist things up it is sometimes amazing that anybody comes to Salvation with heavy handed 5 pointers discouraging people from crying out to God to save them because that might be DIY Salvation.
R. K. Borill, writes: Interesting that you come close to but incomplete definition of the gospel and then launch into an attack of Calvinism when I didn't even mention it. Isn't this a fallacious argument?
Belief in the true gospel of Holy Scriptures brings men to think with a calm sound mind. This behavior described here is not the consequence of such an event.

Yo Dread: How does one "purport" to preach the Gospel? Perhaps you can tell me even what is "The Gospel"?
Bless his heart. It's not his choice to use those services. He has to do it!!! But, they will have to put up with it now for the rest of their lives. . . that is as long as we can afford it.
Sounds good to me. This is possibly the best thing for these poor people duped by these charlatans. Maybe now they will seek the truth, and live productive lives rather than promulgating A/G false doctrine.
I believe if we study carefully, we would see large differences between the prosperity theology of today and the Protestant work ethic of the reformation. For instance, prosperity theology can not even define the gospel of the NT that it professes to believe. It is also interesting that prosperity theology is predominantly in Pentecostal churches. This is not an accident but one of a number of consequences to the errors of this movement.
Where are they getting the money to aid these Muslims? I thought American taxpayer money was going to pay on mounting Chinese debt. Please don't tell me we a borrowing from the Chinese to buy peace with our enemies.
Who says he is not a communist when he makes a move like this? This is a token of good will between commrades and another betrayal to the American people whom he hates.
The Pentecostals are no more than the left handed court jesters and magicians of the Pope. Like him they walk by sight and not by faith; it won't be long before they worship the image of the beast.
If Barry thinks he is his brothers keeper, then let him use his money to do it. But, I don't see that happening; it's cheaper for him to force us to keep his brother(s) for him.
Christianity has never been in crisis; that which not Christianity is in crisis and always shall be. "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. "(Isaiah 54:17 KJV)
In order to redistribute wealth, the government must steal from one to give to another. This is a violation of the commandment, "Thou shalt not steal". There is no exception to this law nor exclusion for government officials to skim off the top in the transfer.
John for Jesus wrote: Haven't you ever read Acts 2:38 where Peter tells the people to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins? Baptism cleanses believers from sin. It's in the Bible, unlike infant baptism.
John, I think you should study a little more before you make such comments. Start with Collosians 2 for example.
Harold is a perfect example of what happens to dispensationalists who take their theological arguments to their full irrational conclusions. They would sooner give up the gosple than surrender their Scoffeild map of the future. It all begins with a faulty definition of faith and justification.
