Admin	Prerequisite for Salvation ~~~~A.W. Pink Posted : 26 Dec, 2012 10:58 AM Studies on Saving Faith by A.W. Pink: "Mr. Carnal Confidence:�'Well, let us turn to Acts 16:31, that is simple enough. There is no room allowed there for any quibbling. God says 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved': God says that to�me; I have believed on Christ, and so I must be saved.'�Writer:�'Not so fast, dear friend. How can you prove God says that�to you? Those words were spoken under unusual circumstances, and to a particular individual. That individual had been brought to the end of himself; he was deeply convicted of his sins; he was in terrible anguish of soul; he had taken his place in the dust, for we are told that he "came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas" (Acts 16:29). Now is it fair to take the words of the apostles to�such�a man and apply them indiscriminately to anybody? Are we justified in ignoring the whole setting of that verse, wrenching it from its context, and giving it to those who have not any of the characteristics which marked the Philippian jailor? ... Christ saves none who is still in love with sin; but He is ready to save those who are sick of sin, who long to be cleansed from its loathsome foulness,�who�yearn to be delivered from its tyrannizing power.'" ----------------------------------- This quote from Mr Pinks' book clearly states Pink believed a prerequisite to salvation is a loathing of foul sin and a desire to be cleansed & delivered from its power.

View Profile History	Prerequisite for Salvation ~~~~A.W. Pink Posted : 30 Dec, 2012 08:11 AM We already know the Scriptures both will post, so what is the point? What you have to do is post Scripture showing God treats everyone exactly the same, ...and you can't. Case closed, Point proven. Post Reply

View Profile History	Prerequisite for Salvation ~~~~A.W. Pink Posted : 30 Dec, 2012 11:02 PM Don't deflect; Post the Scripture; You can't, cause there is none, because it is a doctrine of man. Go ahead and prove me wrong; Now is your chance. Post Reply

View Profile History	Prerequisite for Salvation ~~~~A.W. Pink Posted : 31 Dec, 2012 01:10 AM More personal attacks to hide the fact that you cannot. Hypocrisy is rampant in your posts. You love to talk about the deflections of others and ignore your own. Maybe that's because you are unable to see that just because someone doesn't give you the direct answer you were looking for doesn't mean they haven't answered you sufficiently. Until you show you can(as I have been asking several times in this thread) I will continue to have to believe that you cannot. Post Reply
View Profile History	Prerequisite for Salvation ~~~~A.W. Pink Posted : 31 Dec, 2012 01:16 AM To refresh your memory, you stated that you believe God is absolutely sovereign to act in any way He chooses. I stated that I believe this too but that He has already chosen the way in which He will do things...such things written in scripture...like how salvation is obtained. I asked if you could defend your view that God will act sovereignly outside of what is revealed in scripture. You have been deflecting since. So you either can defend this veiw from scripture or you cannot. Post Reply
