AN ELECTION OF PARTICULAR PERSONS

Reformed and Revised According to Scripture

THE GRAND DOCTRINE OPENED

That all the saints of God, and sheep of Jesus Christ, have been saved, and none of them shall fall away because they have eternal life.

The truth of this point I shall prove by diverse arguments and scriptures.

And my first argument shall be taken from eternal election, which depends wholly upon the absolute sovereignty of God, who has power over all His creation, and may do with His...

Michael Hollner wrote: "'Where the word of a king (King James) is, there is power' (Ecclesiastes 8:4)" (The King James Only Debate, p. 75, 2021 edition).

Did this author add to the word of God by inserting King James into the verse? Does this verse limit a king having power or authority to only King James I of England? Does this verse say that everything authorized by a king is authorized by God?

KJV defender Laurence Vance admitted “the Great Bible was the first ‘authorized’ Bible”...

In a recently closed thread, a poster noted many English translations have added words to the inspired text.

Here is how the NIV renders the verse:
1 John 2:2
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

However, some English translations provide an accurate rendering:

Here is how the ASV renders the verse:
1 John 2:2
and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

Thus the addition...

In Hebrews 7-8, we see a long description of Jesus Christ as our
High Priest.

We are told the role of High Priest is permanent, it lasts forever. We are told the location were He serves as High Priest is at the right hand of the Father’s throne in heaven.

And then we are told that “if He were on the earth, He would not be a priest at all”.

So, if Jesus were to reign on the earth for 1000 years, He would have to renounce His position as our High Priest, which is impossible.

Bring questions and objections to the doctrine of election in Calvinism. Livestream starts at 5 pm EST. Rick is my friend and I'm very interested in people, especially Arminians (i'm neutral and do not hold a strong opinion of soteriology), to show up with questions/comments/objections to the Calvinist doctrine of election.

I'm not a Baptist but I have no real objections to Baptist theology. I'm non-denominational only because I am not part of a denomination at present. I came here because...

Michael Hollner, who may now be a poster at this forum, claimed: “We strive for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” (King James Only Debate, p. 174, 2018 edition). Concerning his own book, Michael Hollner declared: “The truth is going to be released in this book” (p. 19). Michael Hollner asserted: “All I want is the truth, as should you, and I guarantee you, that nothing else but the truth is going to be presented in this book” (p. 31, 2021 edition).

The independant fundamental Faith Baptist Chruch of Canoga Park is today KJVO.

"We believe that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and that God has preserved His inspired words, which under His care and providence, have been translated without error in the 1611 King James Version. We further believe that the King James Version is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Pet. 1:24-25"

When I was a member there between 1970-1978 that KJVO was not...

“Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?” They said to him, “The son of David.”( Matthew 22:41-42). How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.” David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son?” And the great throng heard him gladly.” (Mark...

1 John 1:8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

A church member I know said that he had overcome his sin - I pointed him to the verse above, and he said it applied to non-believers only. Is he right?

If you were writing a church Constitution, what would you
put for the minimum age for a member to vote on a pastor?
