OSAS1, OSAS2, or OSAS3
There are a couple of threads on here where the OSAS believers are trying to give the retionale for believing in OSAS. It would be helpful if they would tell us which OSAS they are promoting. I started this new thread so as not to hyjack another thread.
OSAS1 - The 5-Point Calvinist belief in OSAS, sometimes called Perservence of the Saints. This belief is connected to Unconditional Election/ Irresistable Grace as its basis for OSAS or perservence.
OSAS2 - This belief says a True... -
What is Sin?
We have been over this question in the past, but the same questions keep arising. One thing we hear people suggesting is that if one has an evil thought, it is sin. Where did they get such a notion is this? Where does Scripture state or imply that every thought with evil connotations is in fact sin? What we're looking for is Scriptural passages that would back up the above notions. Give us your scriptural definition of sin. -
The SBC and Calvinism
How much has Calvinism infiltrated the SBC? I haven't been a regular attender at an SBC church for a long time, just an occasional visitor. But I'm thinking of returning on a regular basis. I still have membership in a SBC church, although I am also a member of the CBF, which only requires a $1 per year contribution from an individual to be a member!
Anyway, this veil of tears is gloomy enough without having that added to by a Calvinist assault every Sunday. -
Pre Mil, pre-trib (or mid trib) question
Not a eschatology debate thread.
Situation. Rapture occurs. Lost couple conceive a child the day after the rapture, the baby is born, and as an infant or toddler the parents have the child get the mark of the beast.
Where does this toddler go when they die?
Revelation 14:9-10
9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which... -
Children turned away from church while sex offender preaches
Can someone explain the following story to me. I just do not get it. Doing a search on the preacher's name reveals many strange actions.
===============
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (ABP) – A Baptist church in Florida is barring children from attendance where a registered sex offender has been preaching since the end of January.
Jacksonville television station WJXT quoted a woman Feb. 19 who said she was turned away on a recent Sunday when she tried to bring a 2-year-old boy she babysits to services... -
For my mom
Please pray for my 90-year-old mother. The doctor found two lumps near her breast today; she's going for a mammogram and ultrasound Thursday. She's been through a lot with her health already. -
Why Does the RCC have extra Books In their canon?
As neither jesus nor the jews know any other than Protestant OT books, and early church ONLY know and confirmed the protestant NT books? -
Ash Wednesday clarification
Tomorrow a bunch of you might see ashen crosses on the foreheads of Catholics and want to know what its about. First I will say to those who insist the Pope is the anti-christ that no it is not the mark of the beast.
What do Catholics believe about Ash Wednesday. Much like the Jews did in the days of David and Solomon and even today the whole year is broken down into celebrations, feast days, Memorial days, and times of fasting and contemplation.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of a... -

5 Scary Trends that Shipwreck the Church
I am excited about the future of the church. Every week I meet sharp young leaders who are passionately pouring themselves into seeing the Kingdom on earth expressed through the local church. At the same time when I read articles about the fastest growing segment of society being those who don't give God or church a second thought I realize that we have to sharpen our game considerably if we want to see the local church prevail in America. To paraphrase Paul we need to discipline ourselves...
