The teaching of the Bible is that God did not merely plan to give salvation to those who would choose to believe, but rather that He actually determined beforehand those who would be chosen for salvation (Matthew 22:14; Acts 13:48; Romans 8:28-30; Romans 9:7-24; Ephesians 1:4-5, 11; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 1:9). In other words, we respond in faith to God's choice of us and His election of us is not based upon anything we do. Election must be seen from God's perspective rather than Read the rest...

For starters, no one is saved by good works. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not of your yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works lest any man should boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do(EPH 2:8,9) If we are saved by Grace through faith, that grace will result in good works. In other words it is the grace of God that will lead us to do what God requires of us. There is Read the rest...

By Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) It is a great thing to begin the Christian life by believing good solid doctrine. Some people have received twenty different "gospels" in as many years; how many more they will accept before they get to their journey's end, it would be difficult to predict. I thank God that He early taught me the gospel, and I have been so perfectly satisfied with it, that I do not want to know any other. Why, if I believed what some preach about the temporary, Read the rest...

The Canon of Dort ("The Five Points of Calvinism") Five theological points were formulated to answer the Remonstrants in a document known as the Canon of Dort, which declared: that fallen man was totally unable to save himself (Total Depravity) that God's electing purpose was not conditioned by anything in man (Unconditional Election) that Christ's atoning death was sufficient to save all men, but efficient only for the elect (Limited Atonement) that the gift of faith, Read the rest...

Quotes from Paul Crouch Christians are little gods. (Praise the Lord (TBN), redorded 7/7/86) God draws no distinction between Himself and us. God opens up the union of the very godhead (Trinity), and brings us into it. (Praise-a-thon (TBN), November 1990) Paul Crouch will shoot heresy hunters (theology) if God doesn't (Praise-a-thon (TBN), 4/2/91) Heresy hunters (theology) are to go to Hell. (Praise-a-thon (TBN), 4/2/91) Does not want to see the ugly faces of heresy hunters Read the rest...

Jesus Did Not Come As God And Was Not Perfect! If Jesus came as God, then why did God have to anoint him? If Jesus - See God’s already anointed. If Jesus came as God, then why did God have to anoint him? Jesus came as a man, that’s why it was legal to anoint Him. God doesn’t need anointed. He is anointing. Jesus came as a man and at age thirty, God is now getting ready to demonstrate to us and give us an example of what a man with the anointing can do. ....Jesus didn’t come as Read the rest...

After 9 years of giving, man has no Chrysler, no wife, no wealth By Carolyn Tuft Bob Schneller gave to Joyce Meyer until it hurt. Nine years later, he says, it still aches. He's out of money, out of a marriage and out of faith with televangelists. Schneller, 59, lives alone in a 600-square-foot, early-model mobile home in House Springs. He's surrounded by videotapes of televangelists. He says he studies the tapes to learn how he was taken in by Meyer. Not so long ago, Schneller Read the rest...

"Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears." (Acts Read the rest...

Jehovah's Witnesses : Watchtower Society Jehovah's Witnesses consider their organization to be the only true Christian organization. They also view themselves as God's righteous people who are persecuted by governments and traditonal Christian groups (''apostate Christendom''). Witnesses believe that the truths of Scripture were lost through apostacy that occured centuries ago; then God used C.T. Russell to bring to light and restore many of the Christian teachings that had been lost. A few Read the rest...
