A few years ago I had a co...@Eddie, Michael and CG<br /><br />A few years ago I had a conversation with a man about differences among Christians, specifically the role that our works play in our salvation. He said, "Well Craig, Calvinists and Arminians each present good reasons for their beliefs. But we can't know for sure in this life. 'Now, we know in part,' but in heaven 'we will know even as we are known.' " (Paraphrasing 1 Corinthians 13:12)<br /><br /> I agreed with him that we will know clearly in heaven, but then looked him straight in the eye and added "But in heaven everyone will be Calvinists," and then I quoted Revelation 7:9 & 10.<br /><br /><b>The expression on his face was priceless.</b><br />Obviously, he had never encountered anything like this <i>stranger</i> before. After several seconds of awkward silence, I smiled and winked, then gave him a friendly "punch" on the shoulder. Nothing more was said.<br />-----------------------<br /><br /> <i><b>After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"</b></i> (Rev. 7:9-10 esv)stranger.strange.landhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095085549321636456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-87805996513472361042011-08-06T10:47:35.989+03:002011-08-06T10:47:35.989+03:00Michael, you could not have given a better answer!...Michael, you could not have given a better answer! <br /><br />Maybe the readers can come up with a good acronym for the five points using "BIBLE"...<br /><br />...here's one from the top of my head"...<br /><br />Born Bad<br />Irresistible Grace<br />Believer Endures<br />Limited Atonement<br />Election is UnconditionalEddie Eddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864410680077755048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-73729411498085202062011-08-06T02:39:19.557+03:002011-08-06T02:39:19.557+03:00@CG: The Bible.@CG: The Bible.mikew116https://www.blogger.com/profile/15904946581928823933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-22123208466879343352011-08-05T22:34:22.644+03:002011-08-05T22:34:22.644+03:00Where are we from then?Where are <i>we</i> from then?Constitution Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13143438474719985018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-61759597112774679362011-08-03T20:12:27.523+03:002011-08-03T20:12:27.523+03:00Where's Calvinia?Where's Calvinia?Lesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-19351256139270017522011-08-03T03:27:50.575+03:002011-08-03T03:27:50.575+03:00Okay, I'll go . . . but only if I can choose t...Okay, I'll go . . . but only if I can choose to come back again whenever I feel like it.Armed Indianhttp://www.visitarm.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-84221916626532120792011-08-02T07:38:38.184+03:002011-08-02T07:38:38.184+03:00@Jake: Hey, my spell-checker does that, too! :)@Jake: Hey, my spell-checker does that, too! :)Corey P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13798899637559207969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-80363374744064356382011-08-02T03:31:27.624+03:002011-08-02T03:31:27.624+03:00But wait!

Loved it.<br /><br />Two of our **federation's ministers recently traveled to Europe to visit the Reformed church in Milan, Italy. Then, they went to Armenia to investigate the situation there, as far as the true Gospel is concerned. (Both ministers are of Armenian descent: Janbasian and Kaloostian). They reported back to us that there was no evidence of even one Reformed pastor "on the ground" in that country.<br /><br />I take that as a call to pray that the Gospel of pure Grace will extend into Arm<b>e</b>nia.<br /><br /><br />*<i>LOL</i>.
