    Convincing people of your views on salvation is hardly the fight that was spoken of here.

    Dan,

    I believe we should encourage our brothers in christ reguardless of there view and i fail to see your encouragements here Dan.

    2 Months ago I did not even know Who Calvin was but I found that we had simular beliefs. I have not Professed to be a calvinest or anything but a christian. I found a christian board to make post on so i could have meaningfull discussions on. within that board I found one labled Theology. I feel very comfortable in My beliefs not based on calvin but based on my own searching and knowledge of the bible, which is Poor at best, but well enough to talk about it. If i have come to the wrong place to discuss theology with fellow Brothers in christ let me know so I can go elswere. If I have offended you my apologies.

    no offense taken, therefore no need.

    Forests and trees Scott. Forests and trees.

    (that's my new favorite phrase, John 5:39 from the Message)

    Scott, I'm sorry that I have not been an encouragement to you. I didn't realize you were new to the Doctrine of Grace, and was teasing.
    I am basically one who also adheres to the Doctrine of Grace.
    If you didn't know who Calvin is and what Calvinists are, the so-called TULIP doctrine is also known as Doctrine of Grace.

    I believe, like you do, that God elected a people unto Himself for salvation in Christ before the foundation of the world and that Christ came and shed His blood for them, and only for them, and that these elect who are God's people are scattered all over the earth, and that they have always been here since the dawn of time.

    Take heart, brother.
