John UK wrote: It was that the atonement itself was SUFFICIENT for ALL, but EFFICIENT only in the elect. I have always believed that, as Calvin did. Thomas Aquinas (About 1225-1274), theologian of the Roman Catholic Church believed that too!"1 John 2:22 He is the propitiation for our sins, for some efficaciously, but for all sufficiently, because the price of his blood is sufficient for the salvation of all: but it has no efficacy except for the elect because of an impediment. Thomas Aquina, “Commentaria 1 Tim. 2:1-6a,” in Omnes D. Pauli Apostoli Epistolas Commentaria. (Liege: H. Dessain, 1858), 3:68." "Aquinas also observes (Quest. disp. de grat. Christi. art. 7, reap. ad 4,) The merit of Christ as to its sufficiency equally regards all men, but not as to its efficacy; which arises partly from free-will, partly from the election of God, through which the effect of the merits of Christ is mercifully conferred upon some, but is by his just judgment withdrawn from others. [Source: John Davenant, Dissertation on the Death of Christ, 543.]" |

You have a sacramental view, and that is why you speak of its effectiveness. We prefer to speak of it as an ordinance delivered to us.

Read 1 John.coora wrote: 4.there is, in presbyterian circles, no need for a Christian to repent and be born again. I have not come across this so cannot comment.coora wrote: 5. you disagree with God predestinating some to have faith and others to remain in their sin. and You don't understand what double-predestination is. So read up before asking.coora wrote: 6. you cannot understand the reformed view of covenant children being accepted as members of the visible church. He understands, but objects to it as unbiblical. Baptists do not allow anyone under the age of discretion into membership. |

Differences among paedobaptistsThe Roman Catholic Church: “In the case of infants, baptism removes original sin and regenerates even though the infant does not personally believe in Christ.” Presbyterian and Continental Reformed churches: "believe that baptism is a symbol, as a wedding ring is a symbol of marriage. The grace it conveys, however, is not justifying grace. Baptism, according to this tradition, does not produce Christians, but identifies the child as a member of the covenant community. Being a member of the covenant community does not guarantee salvation; though it does provide the child with many benefits, including that of one's particular congregation consenting to assist in the raising of that child in "the way he should go, (so that) when he is old he will not turn from it." |

"Jewish Customs of Burial Speaks Against It:""The one burial cloth There is a conflict with the idea of only one burial cloth when it is clear that in the Jewish burial customs and in the New Testament record there were several pieces of cloth used in Christ’s burial, not one 14 feet by 4 feet piece of material such as the Shroud. The separate cloth for the head As was the custom of the day, John 20:5-7 shows that a separate piece of cloth was wrapped about the head of Christ. It was found by itself apart from the linen wrappings that were around the body of Christ. However, the Shroud of Turin is all one piece and depicts a face as well as the rest of the body on the cloth. The material and method of wrapping the body Combining the accounts of the historical record of the New Testament teaches us that several pieces of cloth were used to wrap the body of Christ and they were in the form of “strips,” and “wrappings,” or “linen bandages” such as were used in the preparation of mummies." Joh 19:38-40 |

Appreciated the link. I believe practically there is a sliding scale between the two doctrines represented by the Chart Synergism/Monergism. The understanding of various persons not sitting under a consistent ministry, or even the same ministry or who may not have not had the helpfulness of a Reformed Confession of Faith, (especially the WCF), yet even so any can slide left of the Monergistic view because even saved sinners are sinners still and are at war-the flesh against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh and any error heard or shared can effect sinners who are still opposed by the world, the flesh and the Devil. The only statement other then Synergism related statements that I read which sounded curious to me was "(i.e., the ability to apprehend the Redeemer by a living faith, to repent of sin and to love God and the Mediator supremely)" To me, to love God, IS to love the Mediator supremely, who is very God and man. Because I have experience Judaizers who diminish Christ's equality with the Father or at least that is what it seemed to me they were saying, I reacted to that statement. Maybe its just me. |
