T-Man has total ability Deuteronomy 30:10-14, Ezekiel 18:20 and Isaiah 7:16. U. Election is conditional; 1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Chronicles 7:14, 1 John 1:9, Luke 13:3, James 4:8-10 and Psalm 51:7-17. L. God will save who wills Revelation 22:17 and John 3:16. I. it is not irresistable Deuteronomy 30:16-18 and 1 Timothy 4:1. P. Man leaves the faith 1 Timothy 4:1. God shows no partiality Romans 2:11; Acts 10:34; Deut 10:17; 2Chr 19:7; Job 34:19; Gal 2:6; Eph 6:9; Col 3:25; 1Pet 1:17 -- Also, God is not a LIAR. Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie. " == That means we should assume all his words astrue and take them on face value, meaning whenever he commands/instructs/plead us of obeying his words, doing good, repenting, turning away from sin etc they are true. And that man is fully able 1 John 3:3-10; Eze 18:29-32 God is good and just, he is not partial unjust who treat people with different standards. God hates injustice and unequal measures. 2Chr 19:7 Now then, let the fear of the LORD be upon you. Be careful what you do, for there is no injustice with the LORD our God, or partiality or taking bribes.” ESV Job 8:3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert the right? -- Now if you have been totally blinded by Satan, then you will scoff and say "Good luck with living a life!"Now above we have an amazing amount of scriptures cited; and yet, notice one of the most staggering thing in this; they are all out of context and carelessly treated. Let us consider each statement with some consideration.
The first thing that we come to is this one that needs attention:
T-Man has total ability Deuteronomy 30:10-14, Ezekiel 18:20 and Isaiah 7:16.So we are told that 'Total Depravity/Total inability' is incorrect because of the following scriptures being cited. First what is the doctrine that is being contested. Well, it is the truth that all men universally have fallen in Adam and as a result have been deeply effected by it. And that every aspect of man has been effected as well; there is not a single part of man that has becomes enslaved to sin. The very nature of man has been corrupted and the image of God in man has been defaced and defiled. It is still there but has been distorted by the very fall in Adam.
That is a basic outline of this truth. And scriptures supports both aspects of this truth; we are told that all men are 'dead in trespasses and sins' that they are in a hell bound slavery to sin (Ephesians 1: 1-3; Romans 1-3). And humanly speaking it irreversible and irrevocable as we are helpless and hopeless. But not only this, the same scriptures provide us with another reality of 'human inability' to please God spiritually. John 3:3-8; 6:44,65 and even in Romans 8:1-8 and 1 Corinthians 2:14. But this also leads to a mass ignorance to spiritual things (Acts 3: 17; 17: 30-31). These are biblically founded truths concerning man; yet the most ardent Arminian denies it for the sack of their unbiblical traditions. They are ignorant like the Jewish leaders.
Now let us consider one scripture at this point:
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (John 3:3-8).This is a powerful section when allowed to speak its own truth. We must note that Jesus says 'cannot' twice in such a short space. What is the significance of this term; it speaks of human inability to do something which is pleasing to God. And it is because of the issue of sin that man cannot (or has not the ability) to come to God. And therefore, it is God himself who does the active work of seeking the sinner as the whole New Testament tells us. And this act of regeneration 'born again' is a vital connective work between the elect and salvation in Christ.
Now what of the above references provided against this truth concerning man. He offers Deuteronomy 30:10-14; Ezekiel 18:20; Isaiah 7:14. As the main argument. But in each case, what we see is that none of them actually give any support at all. The first one is not about being saved, but is about how one was to live in a theocratic state (which no Christian does) And the whole book of Deuteronomy makes it clear to us that God was speaking to a redeemed people and as a matter of fact this 'obedience' was the direct out working of that truth. That is to say, that we are considering something which is not true of us as Christians.
The second scripture mentioned from Ezekiel 18. This chapter is an important one to consider as it has been misused by those who are in another religion against the idea of atonement of Christ. And here it seems that it is being used in a similar way too. If this interpretation is correct that one man's sin cannot be the reason for many and all to be punished then out the door flies original sin and headship. And Romans 5:12-21 is meaningless. For it makes it's clear that all men sinned in Adam (headship) and that all men are accountable not just for their own sin in this sense but that all are under condemnation for Adam's sin.
The third one, however, just shows this man's ignorance of scripture. For Isaiah 7:16 is not about all men universal. While it in some respect was to do with the person that was to come in the next Chapter; even that does not truly fulfil it in it's fullness. Isaiah 7:16 comes after verse 14 which is about who? Let us note this passage:Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, “Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test.” And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted. The Lord will bring upon you and upon your people and upon your father's house such days as have not come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah—the king of Assyria.” (Isaiah 7: 10-17)Here is the fuller context. But one only need to read verse 14 and see that it is about only one person. The Lord Jesus Christ. The unique Son of God who became a man. And it is Him alone that we informed of in verse 16 'For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good,' a very investing twist of scripture.
The second argument made is the following one:
U. Election is conditional; 1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Chronicles 7:14, 1 John 1:9, Luke 13:3, James 4:8-10 and Psalm 51:7-17.So we are told that 'Unconditional election' is incorrect because of the following scriptures being cited. But what is evident is that we have no real interaction with the solid exegetical works on this subject; and neither can there be from this unbiblical position being presented as if it were biblical. When he states 'Election is conditional' without going to someone like Norman Geisler who overrid the bible for the sake his philosophical presentation.
But coming back to the statement. Let us first present what 'unconditional election actually is before we come to this malfunctioning statement. It is the truth that before creation come into being; God had already predetermined just whom he would choose to unite to Christ in salvation (Ephesians 1; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-15; 1 Thessalonians 1: 4-6. And just as it was the case with these particular Christian at the time of the Apostle; it is likewise true of all Christians through history. And Ephesian is not a letter to a specific church as we assume but a general letter to all Christians alike. A fact we must bare in mind.
When it comes to election; it is clear from scriptural teaching that there are no conditions attached to it. God elects a person in Christ; and it is that vital union and the work of Christ that is the security. Take note of the following scripture:
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”In this statement we have a clear referent to God activity in choosing individuals and groups of believers. Paul states 'but God chose, God chose, God chose' to make a point that God choice was entirely based on his own kind intention and will; his ever abounding mercy and grace. But note that even in this statement that his chose is completely independent of anything in man; it is indeed as the scriptures indicate 'impartial' or 'respector of persons' that to say, not as it is false used to say that God must offer to all or be a respecter of persons. It's proper meaning is that God in his chose of bring people to salvation or leaving them unto destruction. These choice are not determine by what someone has; who someone is; what they have done. It is entirely out of his mercy and grace. A pure and simple point.
Now let us consider these selective cited scriptures. The first is 1 timothy 4:1 which states 'Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,' these words are not even dealing with the current point. In saying that the doctrines of grace which thorough biblical on an exegetical basis are demonic. Really reveals a lack of balance in ones handling of scriptures. There is no real interaction with the exegetical based expositions on these doctrine; and neither is there any interaction with the passage so far offered. It is a complete demonic act of a cult that we get in this matter. This is an important point to contend. The second is 2 Chronicles 7:14 states 'if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.' Interesting verses but what does it prove. Not what it is being used to falsely establish. Let simply note the first words 'my people' in other words, these are words of admonishment to a rebellious people. And it must be noted that unless God works in a person; they will never submit to what God demands.
The third is 1 John 1:9 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' So let us try to understand this point. And that is some how personal holiness and living as Christians some how contradicts God personal choice in whom he would have saved by Christ. This connection is not one that is established but is assumed falsely. Christian living is the direct result of every step that God undertakes to establish his plan in a redeemed people (Ephesians 2:4-10). The fourth is Luke 13:3 'No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.' Now here is a great example a false assumption. And it needs to be made known. And that is that man has the ability to follow commands that are given apart from the Spirit giving the ability to comply to a command. And that is the point. Unless the Spirit moves upon man's will, he will always be unwilling to comply to commands. Acts 5 says that it is Jesus who grants repentance, 2 Timothy 2: 24-26 says that it is the Father who grants repentance, and John 16 tells that it is the Spirit convicts man of sin. It is a triune act and work in the very person whom comes to faith.
The fifth is James 4:8-10 'Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.' James is a doctrinal based book; and therefore, it is not dressing how one becomes a Christian. It is in fact, dealing with true Christians and practical holiness. The point here is that when a believer sins; he can and will be forgiven by God through Christ (1 John 1:5-2:5). But that there will be a kind of fracture in the relationship which will be the determinative of one future. It is deal with practical holiness. The sixth and final is Psalm 51 :7-17. And we notice in this song that there is only one who does this restoration work and in the same manner brings a person to the faith and whom is it? God himself.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. (Psalms 51: 10-12)
Here is a small portion of this great Psalm; and it is clear that man does not do this work of renewal. Only God does. He alone. So we have seen six passages and each stands as a direct refutation of 'conditional election' and not unconditional election. For there is no such scripture that refutes it.
The third argument made is the following one:
L. God will save who wills Revelation 22:17 and John 3:16So we are told that 'limited or definite atonement' is incorrect because of the following scriptures being cited. But, of course, this kind of argument reveals a great imbalance and a fundamental ignorance of what the doctrine actually is putting forth. I confess, that I do not know exactly where the objector is coming from; whether they have tradition over riding the scripture as many do or if he has only read the scriptures in a surface level-- superficial manner. That remains to be seen. But one thing is abundantly clear from this whole objection. And that is no matter what, the atonement is hypothetical and not fully effective in any way.
Let us spell out just what the reformed actually believe. It is the fact that it is interdependent on the members of the trinity for its application; but it is independent of man's acts to bring about its power and accomplishment. And this is the issue: does the atonement actually and fully save those it was made for or does just make them saveable and therefore some percentage is in the hands of man? We must bare this in mind as we come to this matter.
The bible in all its main teaching gives us the picture of a true saving atonement. Let us see this in one particular scripture:
Let us consider these words carefully. There a few important point to make note of. The first is that Christ in his atonement actually saves all whom come to the Father. It states 'He is able' or more accurately 'he is powerful.' That is that all that are given by the Father to whom he actually saves and are secure in him. Now the second is seen in the fact that this atonement is once and forever thing that he done (no repetitive acts). Both the non reformed and Catholic systems present a possibility in different fashions. So what we come to in the end of this is. That every non-reformed system does not actually present a saviour who truly saves; and that it is a hypothetic atonement until man makes the move to act in some fashion.Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever. (Hebrews 7: 25-28)
The bible knows no such thing. This is mere foolery at its height. And then another question is this: Can a man who has be justified in Christ through his blood; and has been regenerated by the Spirit. A justified new creature in Christ. Can such a man lose his salvation according to the passage which deal with salvation? The answer is a resounding no.
Let us now turn to these two scriptures that are offered. They are Revelation 22:17 and John 3:16. The first being Revelation 22:17 which is used as if it were a universal plea, but that is not the case. Let now consider it:
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.Notice that he only quotes the reference to make his point. And this is not the way we are to deal with scripture; we are not to read things into scripture that do not belong there. His idea in quoting this is to justify the idea that it is a free for all offer. And that is not even substantiated from the context.
Firstly, what is the theme of this book? Well it is that all who belong with Christ will reign with him in eternity. And this can be geared out from reading all of the book. It is not speaking of those who are not saints, but the saints alone. That is a vital point in this matter at hand.
Secondly, notice the context carefully. It first say that the Spirit and bride "come" that is the Spirit of God the church. It then says 'let the one who hears' that is the redeemed believers, the ones who have given the ability to hear spiritual truth. Not all men can; only the redeemed. And it is the same people that are given this ability who are those that are 'spiritually thirsty' and have 'spiritual desire' it is all that which Matthew 5:1-12, John 4 speak to those that Christ has redeemed.
Thirdly, notice the place in which this is to happen. The church is so much clearer on this aspect if it is actually read. It states just before the key verse: 'Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.' There we have a distinction. Only those that are spiritual clean and physically clean can enter. The text is very plain on this, many will not enter.
So again, my question is this: without the Spirit can anyone at all enter the kingdom? Or put it this way. if some is unregenerate do they have the capacity to enter the kingdom? Clearly the answer is no.
Now let us move on to John 3 16 to see this particular context:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.Here is yet another favourite Arminian proof text. Which on the surface seems to support 'universal atonement' but only on the face of it. We may note there is no interaction of the text in its whole context whether that be from verse 16-21 or 1-21. Either way it does not actually support the idea of unlimited or universal atonement. Let us note a few important facts.
First, the verse in english is very ambiguous as to the precise point John had mind as he wrote it (even as Christ spoke it- if he did). Note the term 'whosoever' a buzzword for the Arminian; However, the Original speaks not in a vague and undefined manner but a very precise one as it actually state 'the believing one or the one who believes' and it can be translated also as 'the faithful one or the one who has faith.' So it is not even speaking of the person but the quality of faith (a true saving faith). Bare in mind the discussion of Nicodemus.
Second, we must also note that the 'love' that God has for the world is not some vague sentimental emotional thing; but a definite thing that resulted in and was demonstrated in the giving of Christ. So while the World can be left as undefined or speaking generally about the whole human race. The fact of God's love and the result cannot be. This is very paramount. Much more could be said but for the sake of time, this will be enough for this point.
Third, now head back to the point in the next section 'the one who believes into and upon Christ.' Allow us not to pass this point to quickly. This statement is packed with truth that we need to allow to speak. It says that some one believed upon Christ as Saviour. But it does not in this point express the means and the way that took place. So, how on earth did this take place? In a simple two worded statement that is in countless place 'But God' it was God who caused man to be born again. And John 3:1-15 makes this abundantly clear to a tee. And as a result, the believer in Christ believes aright concerning Christ as the God-man and redeemer.
The fourth thing that we come to is this one that needs attention:
I. it is not irresistible Deuteronomy 30:16-18 and 1 Timothy 4:1.So we are told that 'Irresistible Grace' is incorrect because of the following scriptures being cited. But as before, the objector reveals that he has no adequate knowledge of the doctrine that he is currently rejecting. Let us be clear on this matter, the error comes in upon the manner of attacking the title and not the truth it represents. It is not so much the issue that the term 'irresistible grace' is found; but that the doctrine itself is found and it is in the scriptures in a way that is undeniable to anyone who has ears to hear. Let us proceed to make the case.
Now the truth behind this doctrine, 'Irresistible Grace' is simple this, when God brings one of His elect to faith. None can stop him in his goal of accomplishing his will (Isaiah 55); the one to whom he has chosen and has justified in Christ that same one will be brought to faith through the act of regeneration. This what we see as being Irresistible grace; for the purpose God intends to bring about will be complete in that person. It is a sovereign act of the Spirit in bringing a sinner to grace and faith in Christ. To put it differently, one must be born again in oder to be saved.
The bible in all its main teaching gives us the picture of a true effectual grace. Let us see this in one particular scripture:
For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. (Colossians 2: 9-15)Here then is one of the many passage which speaks to the New man in Christ; which is the reality of what takes place in the act of Regeneration (being born again). Let us note what is said here 'by putting off the body of the flesh,' we may link this to the related passages such as Roman 6 which speaks along side this to the fact that the believer is one to whom the 'old man in Adam' has been crucified (put to death). And this is not of our own doing but the work of the Spirit of Christ. This obviously is a wondrous truth to contemplate for a time.
But the other passages, which mention this kind of language are found in Ephesians 4 and Colossians 3 which strictly speak to what we must do in this life as believers; we are to continually put to death the passions of the flesh that are identified with the Old Man. But in a grand way the Spirit is there to give us that help we need. Now going back to the this key passage, for a moment, and notice what is said that this act of 'circumcision' which is a spiritual removal can be likened to a divorcing action; to separate two things from one and another.
Let us now turn to these two scriptures that are offered. They are Deuteronomy 30:16-18 and 1 Timothy 4:1. Let now consider them both:
If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess.
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,Now we come to see the underline presupposition behind this attack 'God would not command people to do something unless he had created them with the ability to do so.' There is one huge problem in this, it is not the case. If man could do as God had commanded and say kept the law perfectly (seeing the first passage mentioned is from the law) then in no sense, would man need a saviour out side of themselves for they would able to do it themselves. But the law was given to to do what? Reveal their sinful ridden hearts the fact that they could noT straightly follow God law. The issue here is foundational for this objection reveal they do not believe that the bible is true. And just as the first passage tells us 'if' as in 'if you do this, then I will do that' it was based on their act of obedience and not whether they would be able to do such. And the bible clearly reveal that they were not able to fulfil this ideal.
And the truth is: that not a single man can even if they try their darn hardest. So there is a 'deceitful spirit' but it is not in the Reformed truth of How God actually saves a person; but in the non-reformed view of how he 'tries' and then continually 'fails' to save man. Because that is what you are left with.
The fifth argument that is made is this one which needs some attention:
P. Man leaves the faith 1 Timothy 4:1.So we are told that 'Perseverance of the Saints' is incorrect because of the following scriptures being cited. Let us note that the actual truth is not even addressed in this objection; it is assumed upon the reading of a single verse that this persons assumption (which is reading into the text) is correct. Rather than asking the critical question does this text and other similar texts actually provide us with a real stand point for denying something which as we show is biblically based? Or to put in another way: do such texts actually address the heart issue of said persons or just a head issue? In other words, are we in the right to say that said people leave based on their own 'free will' or because they only had a head knowledge and not a heart knowledge? As that is the real issue that is confronting us.
Now let us deal with a passage which teaches 'perseverance of the saint' or as I prefer preservation of the saint which is in line with John 6 and 10 which says of those given by the Father-- The Son shall lose none who have been regenerated by the Spirit of God. In Romans 8 we read:
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? (Romans 8: 31-35)Here is one of the greatest evidences for the fact that this 'the true believer can fall away' claim being bogus. One may take note of the rhetorical nature of the Apostle argument which is in form of several questions. Again, take note of them being rhetorical as there is no need to answer for the Apostle previous provided the answer in verse 16-17 of Chapter 1 and than further established it in verses 28-30 of this very chapter. Since it is God who is at work in raising spiritual dead men to life in Christ; each and every step is his alone and no man (not even one of the elect) can throat his sovereign purpose. when a person is given to Christ, it is by God's very intention that that person is Christ for keeps. And this is the eternal plan being brought into reality. And this is what Paul can give praise to God in the way that he does in many places.
So now let us come to deal with the one passage that is offered as refutation which 1 Timothy 4:1. And it is wise for us to be diligent in how we come to and then handle scriptures as it has led people to one of two extremes. In one manner, that they end up pitting scripture against scripture like the cults. Or in the other, they use one as a way negate the other.
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. (1Timothy 4:1-5)Now let us ask the critical question: what is being discussed here? Let us seek an answer in this regard. It does not say that these people 'who depart from the faith' were actually true believers does it? No. There, then, is the fist problem. A lack of classification and a lack of understanding. They are like those that John describes in the 2nd and 6th chapters of John 'believers on temporal signs'. They are of such character that they would be one of the 3 false converts from the parable of sower or the tares among the wheat. Now to the ordinary believer for a time things will looks as though they were genuine but over time things start to happen which bring them to the point of revealing their real disposition as unconverted church goers who eventually 'depart from the faith' which they never truly belonged.
Now having seen that the Word does indeed teach the truth that all believers who are truly redeemed will be held by the power of God in Christ until the very end as guaranteed by Christ himself. And even in and through all hard time such as those mentioned above in Romans 8 and verse 25 'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?' two questions. And only one real stated truth within these questions. No-one and nothing can separate us from Christ. Not even the most difficult trial to come upon us; for even that is apart God great plan to conform us to Christ.
As we can take note of in this examination of the Doctrines of Grace which are fundamental to the whole of the reformation al truth based on a biblical inquiry. When we allow Sola Scripture; Sola Christos and; Sola Fide all to speak in unison we can only arrive based on sound exegesis of all scripture on these points. They biblically based and biblical founded in the manner to which one is to become a Christian. There is no other way but this one. To glory of God alone.
