dljrn04 View Profile History	Arminian grace vs Amazing Grace Posted : 24 Aug, 2013 02:30 AM Arminian "grace" how strange the sound, Salvation hinged on me. I once was lost, then turned around, was blind then chose to see. What "grace"is it that calls for choice, made from some good within? That part that that wills to heed God's voice, Proved stronger than my sin. Tru many ardn't gospel pleas, I sat with heart of stone. But then some hidden good in me, propelled me toward my home. When we've been there ten thousand years, because of what we've done, we've no less days to sing our praise, than when we first begun. This is the difference in the whom i serve and the idol god most of this site serve. "Amazing Grace" Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found. 'Twas blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Then when we first begun. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind, but now I see. Post Reply

View Profile History	Arminian grace vs Amazing Grace Posted : 25 Aug, 2013 09:09 AM Yet another example of a willfully ignorant, (lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated) hypocritical, PSEUDO-loving comment from a member of the "free will" exalting "Pelagian Posse" Nothing new -- highlight the perceived "dis/humor" in the OP while simultaneously offering your own sarcastic dis/humor". Wow!! Another classic. :toomuch: Post Reply

dljrn04 View Profile History	Arminian grace vs Amazing Grace Posted : 25 Aug, 2013 12:05 PM It is because so many untaught men, unregenerate men, now occupy the pulpits�that "another gospel" (Galatians 1:6) is being so widely and generally disseminated. Multitudes who have neither "tasted that the Lord is gracious" nor have "the fear of the Lord" in them�have from various motives and considerations, invaded the sacred calling of the ministry and out of the abundance of their corrupt hearts, they speak. Being blind themselves, they lead the blind into the ditch! Having no love for the Shepherd they�have none for the sheep, being but "hirelings." They are themselves "of the world" and therefore "the world hears them" (1 John 4:5), for they preach that which is acceptable unto fallen human nature, and as like attracts like, they gather around themselves a company of admirers who flatter and support them. They will bring in just enough of God's Truth to deceive the unwary, and give an appearance of orthodoxy to their message�but not sufficient of the Truth, especially the searching portions thereof�to render their hearers uncomfortable by destroying their false peace. They will name Christ but not preach Him; they will mention the Gospel but not expound it. Some of these men will preach legality�under the pretense of furthering morality and honoring the Divine Law. They will preach up good works�but lay no foundation upon which they may be built. They confound justification and sanctification, making personal holiness to be the ground of the sinner's acceptance before God. They sow their vineyard with "divers seeds" (Deut. 22:9) so that Law and Gospel, Divine grace and creature performances are so mingled together that their distinctive characters are obliterated. Others preach licentiousness under the guise of magnifying the grace of God. They omit the Divine call to repentance, say nothing about the necessity of forsaking our sins if we are to obtain mercy (Proverbs 28:13), lay no stress upon regeneration as a being made "a new creature in Christ" (2 Cor. 5:17)�but declare that the sinner has simply to accept Christ as his personal Savior�though his heart is still proud, without contrition and thoroughly in love with the world�and that eternal life is now his. The result of this preaching is well calculated to bolster up the deluded�for instead of insisting that saving faith is evidenced by its spiritual fruits, instead of teaching that the Christian life is a warfare against the world, the flesh and the devil, and that none but the overcomer will reach Heaven�they are assured�no matter how carnal their walk�that "once saved, always saved," and thus they are soothed in their sins, and comforted with a false peace until they awake in Hell. Shun all such preaching, my reader, as you would a deadly plague. "Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causes you to err from the words of knowledge" (Proverbs 19:27). A.W. Pink Post Reply
