Thing is Hurnes you disagree with WCF, Calvin, and calvinists. (see 6/21/14 9:56 AM post) and John UK proves again your departure from your beloved document that you exalt above the Word of God and the teachings of the Lord Jesus. You are like the immature Corinthians who said I am of Paul, or I am of Peter or I am of Apollos. God looks to the humble and contrite man who trembles at His Word according to Isaiah and you show none of the above in your posts. The books opened on that great judgment day are not the words of Calvin or the Synod of Dort but the Lord says it is His Word that shall judge them. You are weighed in the balances and found wanting Turn from you idolatrous worship of the calvinist flower and the WCF to the fountain filled with blood that will cleanse you from your sin and give you a place in the kingdom of God's dear Son.Here is the attitude of a true calvinist. Around this time, Whitfield was asked this question, “Do you expect to see John Wesley in Heaven?” “No,” was his reply. But then Whitfield continued, “John Wesley will be so close to the Throne of Glory, and I will be so far away, I will hardly get a glimpse of him.” |

WCFQ. 155. How is the Word made effectual to salvation? A. The Spirit of God maketh the reading, but especially the preaching of the Word, an effectual means of enlightening, convincing, and humbling sinners; of driving them out of themselves,and drawing them unto Christ; Calvin says, “We must daily desire that God gather churches unto himself from all parts of the earth.” Since it pleases God to use our prayers to accomplish his purposes, we must pray for the conversion of the heathen. “We should remember that the gospel is preached not only by the command of Christ but at his urging and leading.” http://www.midamerica.edu/resources/journal/15/beekeevangelism.pdf The great work of the pulpit is to press the authoritative claims of the Creator and Judge of all the earth, to show how sort we have come of meeting God’s just requirements, to announce His imperative demand of repentance—the sinner must throw down the weapons of his rebellion and forsake his evil way before he can trust in Christ to the saving of his soul (A W Pink) http://www.pbministries.org/books/pink/Miscellaneous/preaching_false_and_true.htm Looks like everybody gets it but Hurnes |

Hurnes wrote: Oh I see.. Let us use your own words to help us see the ineptness of your point. You are saying that you go into a church where a gospel message is being preached. (ah already have human effort you chose to go to the church, but I digress) You said. Thus a human mouth saves from the pulpit - The human ear saves in the pew!!!!So, you go in, and you are listing to your mp3 player during the service and don't hear a word the preacher says. But somehow, sitting there in your pew, listening to country music by John Y, you are born from above. No conviction of sin was brought into your life, no repentance was preached or practiced, no calling upon the Lord for salvation, you were saved by God without the assistance of an Arminian human. So, when you leave the church realizes their evangelization efforts are pointless. The tracts are thrown out, people are told not to share their faith and the verses that talk about sowing the seed of the Word are ripped from Scripture because there is no sowing and watering just God giving the increase. Utter rubbish. |

Hurnes wrote: God's communication by the inner call and the work of the Holy Spirit is neither "audible" nor any other human form of activity. You need to study the Bible more. Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. = Try and understand the "call" here does not mean a loud booming voice from wherever. But the call is totally effective within the heart of the sinner. Ever tried talking to a heart? Ok, I think I got this. You were sprinkled with water as an infant and because of that you are now saved by some inner call that does need the Word of God in communicating the gospel to you for salvation. It is some super secret call to your inner being that you are not cognizant of, you just know whereas once you were lost but now you are saved. So Peter had it wrong when he wrote in Holy Scripture, "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." and James incorrectly wrote, "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures" Thanks for clearing that up. |

Hurnes wrote: (1) GOD saved me . Really this is getting old, enough of this foolishness. Unless God spoke to you audibly there was the effort of man involved in your salvation. Even if all you did was pick up a Bible and started reading and the Holy Spirit opened your eyes to the glorious truth of gospel, that Bible was printed by man and you were taught to read by man. Lydia's heart was opened by the Lord but was not saved until Paul came and shared the gospel with her. God said faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, God said He choose the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. Hearing the gospel (via a tract, a message, someone's testimony, etc) is necessary for salvation. It does not make salvation a combo of works and faith. The necessity of the gospel being shared does not mean that the response by the hearer isn't there because of a quickening and regeneration by the Spirit. God saved mankind and animals from the flood, but Noah built the ark. God gave the Israelites water in the ditches they dug. Don't think you are you are holding out for God's glory in your idiotic assertion that God didn't use men in getting the gospel message to you. God says your assertion is false, I trust your salvation is not. |

Hurnes Let us compare your self-righteous attitude with what we see in Scripture. First of all, if you are indeed saved the first thing you should do is thank God that whoever shared the gospel with you doesn't share your attitude and just wished you would have experienced God's justice.There are too many Scriptural examples, to fit in one post but I am sure you will open the door for more. Acts 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; but that the world through him might be saved. II PETER 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (see the crucifixion is also about God's love) II Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead |
