Every time you deny the truth, we will post it for you, you do not acknowledge scripture nor do you accept it as truth, this is not about bashing people caught up in the false doctrine of Calvinism, you have never acknowledged Scripture, as long as I watch your responses, I have never seen you agree with scripture. There is no problem with scripture, the problem is the twisting, and adding to scripture, and taking away of it as is the practice of reformed theology.
For instance that is several times you have lied on me, and not posting scripture, to back up any statement I may say.
James now I'll as k you again to teach us on the topic of bible faith?
Explain to us the law of sowing and reaping!!
Explain to us the law of faith.

PhillipJohn,
You make a LOT of accusations, but NEVER back any of them up.
You start a thread to slam a theologian, because Someone posts a quote and Scripture verse to go with it.
You never deal with the quote, or offer a different interpretation.
Your actions on this group are childish, and annoying.
Most of the threads and comments by you are nothing but one line accusations filled with misspelled words, and half the time having nothing to do with the topic.
You really have to change your ways on this group.
In Christ,
James
You do not see or hear me bashing anybody I am very careful about mentioning names and the like, you have not seen me post articles as a whole on this forum, simply because I know and understand that most will sin with their mouth.
Exposing the false doctrine of Calvinism is not bashing any one it is an act of love, for love said to mark those that cause divisions and proclaim another doctrine.
For the record let us also make this clear if I say that the tulip and such is a doctrine of devils as it is, that is not calling any one a demon, that is simply exposing the lie.
Ro 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
James the first time I was ask, what is Calvinism and I might add it was on a forum, my answer was without hesitation it is a doctrine of demons, I knew not this individual or anything about him, but I know Jesus and his word,
Calvinism deny's this essential bible truth, it is called faith.

James replies:
PhillipJohn, Your belong to a denomination that did not even exist until the last two minutes of church history.
You attend a Pentecostal church, and you take every word Charles Finney ever wrote as THE truth about the Bible.
You ignore church history, and you could care less what Christians have believed for the last two thousand years.
YOU.........are the one who are wrong about the key doctrines of the Christian faith. You contradict the Bible over and over, and I have shown this repeatedly.
I don't think you have faith in Jesus, I think you have faith in YOUR FAITH. I think you believe in yourself and your ability to save yourself.

James replies:
Scripture says that "God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap."
This means that God has created this world in such a way that whatever you do, it has consequences. Good, bad, or indifferent.
Now, certain wild eyed charismatic groups are saying that you can literally CONTROL God and MAKE him bless you by following rules. This is called Prosperity gospel and it is of course heretical nonsense. Joel Osteen is the most popular prosperity preacher at the moment.
PhillipJohn continues:

James replies:
You need to be more specific on this. Chapter and verse.

James replies:
You are not even in touch with reality.
The five points of doctrine nicknamed "Calvinism" has never been hidden in the first place, and they have NEVER been refuted, because they are the TRUTH.
1. Mankind is utterly fallen, and does NOT have the ability to come to faith and repentance.
2. GOD decided whom He would save before the world was made.
3. Jesus specifically died for the elect, the people God chose.
4. God's grace is irresistible, because He makes His people to be born again, and this causes them to want to repent and trust in Jesus and persevere to the end.
5. God CAUSES His chosen people to persevere to the end, through several diverse means.
But, even though those points are foundational, I think it is a side issue compared to your belief about faith.
I don't think you have faith in Jesus, I think you have faith in Charles Finney's teaching ABOUT faith!
Jesus is the one who saves His people, but you think faith in YOUR supposed ability to have faith is what saves people!!

James replies:
What it is showing is, that you reject massive portions of Scripture. You reject what the Bible says about fallen mankind, about God's sovereign CHOICE in election, about WHO Jesus died for, and about God's grace, and of course since you believed you saved yourself by a decision, you also believe a true Christian can lose their salvation.
YOU ARE WRONG, and YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN LISTS of Scriptures on each one of those points.

James replies:
Pentecostalism and Charles Finney did not exist until the last two minutes of Church history, so BOTH Finney and Pentecostals CAUSED DIVISION.

James replies:
Your interpretation of Scripture comes from Charles Finney, and sermons you hear at your church. You do not know the rules of interpretation, church history, or the writings of the Reformers.
You reject Biblical scholarship, and YOU ARE WRONG about the CENTRAL doctrine of the Christian faith, which is justification by faith alone.
PhillipJohn continues:

James replies:
You are thickheaded, and you should really not post anything on this group and go study church history instead.
The central doctrine of the Christian faith is JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH ALONE.
What YOU MEAN when you SAY "faith" is NOT what the Bible teaches, which is faith IN JESUS.
YOU believe it is faith in FAITH. Like believing in something gives you magical powers. That is flat out nuts, but popular these days.
Our predicament before God is NOT that we don't believe in ourselves enough, it is that we are have sinned before a Holy God. It is FAITH IN JESUS, and his sacrifice, that will make us right with God.
Having faith in faith itself is believing in magic, and has NOTHING do with the Christian faith.
There are over 400 Protestant denominations who will fight over every jot in their statement of faith. What doctrines you believe is very important but more important is following all the commands of Jesus and the NT with the hope of countless eternal rewards for faithful and loving service.
Jesus commands us to make disciples of all nations teaching them to obey **EVERYTHING** I commanded in Matthew 28:18-20.
Their will be 2 comings of Jesus on the Last Day. The first will be *FOR* His saints and the second will be with his saints just after the marriage Feast of the Lamb as per Revelation 19:8-20 and Revelation 17:14: :They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be His **CALLED*, **CHOSEN** and **FAITHFUL** followers.
God only calls and chooses those He knows will be *FAITHFUL**who are born of God.
God Has Promised "You will Find Me When You Seek Me With All Your Heart." {Jeremiah 29:13}and "We Will Make Our Home With You!"
John 14:23: Jesus says, �If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching, My Father will love him, and We will make Our home with him.�
Matthew 28:19,20: Jesus commands, �Go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to *OBEY EVERYTHING I have commanded you!�
I John 2:3-5: �We know that we have come to know Him **IF** we obey His commands. The man who says, �I know Him,� but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the Truth is not him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's **LOVE** is truly made complete in Him!!�
So let us read God's Word daily {Acts 17:11} and then *DO WHAT IT SAYS*! {James 1:22,25}
Acts 17:11: �The Bereans were of noble character, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures *EVERY DAY*!�
James 1:22,25: �Do not merely listen to the Word. *DO WHAT IT SAYS*!... and he who continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but *DOING IT*�will be blessed in what he does.
2 Peter 1:3-11: �His Divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith {a 100% Free Gift}; goodness, and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness, LOVE. For if you possess these qualities in **INCREASING MEASURE**, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a **RICH WELCOME** into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!�
Matthew 16:27; Jesus says, �The Son of Man is going to come in **HIS FATHER'S GLORY WITH HIS ANGELS** {See Matt 24:30,31 & 2 Thess 1:6-10}, and *THEN* He will reward each person according to what he has done.�
Revelation 22:12: Jesus says, �Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!� {When Jesus comes in His Father's glory with His angels}
2 Corinthians 5:10: For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, {When Jesus comes in His Father's glory with His angels} whether good or bad.�
Ephesians 2:8-10: It is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is NOT from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
So Salvation is the ***FREE GIFT*** of God's grace and good works with eternal rewards can only be performed by the saved.
Salvation is a 100% Free Gift and REWARDS are 100 % earned.
Matthew 5:14,16: Jesus says, �You are the LIGHT of the world...Let your LIGHT shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
I Corinthians 3:6-9: Paul says, �The Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed. Apollos watered it, but God made it grow... The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers!�
Daniel 12:3: �Those who impart wisdom will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever!!�
So let our lights *SHINE* with the many gifts God has given us and we can have a REVIVAL with the hope of countless eternal rewards for faithful and loving service.
I Corinthians 1:7: For �You do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be *REVEALED*!�
Peter 1:13: �Therefore, prepare your minds for ACTION, and set your hope {*FULLY*} on the grace to be given YOU when Jesus Christ is {*REVEALED*}!!:applause::angel::peace:
