Sovereignty of God in the Conversion of Saul

Pot. Kettle........never mind.

If you had not engaged in the very things that you are accusing glf of doing, one might be persuaded. As it is, and since you are well-known for doing exactly what you are resenting what you perceive glf for doing, your question is seen, not as a legitimate question, but as the question of a self-styled martyr.

Unfortunate.

No, if you might recall I was already involved in this thread to begin with. Are you depicting a self portrait?

 

So, if someone disagrees, corrects or in any way points out how you have misrepresented their view, then they will be dismissed as a troll or too argumentative and thusly ignored? I suspect if you actually applied that standard in all your interactions you would have little discourse with anyone except yourself. Enjoy your time here on the aptly titled "Baptist DEBATE Forums." :laugh:

 

Seriously...you don't believe you have room to talk, do you?

 

How about we get back to the topic of the thread?

1. How do Calvinists affirm Apostolic Authority while attempting to claim that all believers have been saved in the same manner as Paul (effectually)?

2. Doesn't the uniqueness of God's divine intervention in Paul's life mean anything, or is this meant to be seen as a typical way in which God brings every individual to salvation?

3. Do Calvinists undermine Paul's authority as an Apostle by suggesting that those who believe through his message were saved and called by the same effectual means?

 

Whether I do or not, you have no room to even ask the question.

Spoken by someone who has over 1200 posts and hasn't been a member for 6 months. How hypocritical!

 

Now that you boys have finished trying to one up each other, can we get back to discussing theology and the OP of this thread?

 

You have my yes vote. I don't think he could have said no Lord.

 

Wow, you stand up for a fellow Calvinists, how bold!

Webdog points out the gross error of Calvinism; you seem to be the oblivious one.

I guess you are as pure as the driven snow, right?

 

See Im OK with just drawing the line here. Anytime it's going to lead to a fight then dont respond....its pointless.
Doctrine divides, well so be it. I have to keep comments like "the Gross error of Calvinism" as motivator. That's God's reminder to me that I am to go to a Calvinist Church, raise my family as Calvinist, associate only with Calvinist with my friendships, and read only Calvinist books. Praise god for putting people like you in my path....to strengthen my convictions to Reformed Theology.

 

Likewise, the Calvinists I meet show me that many will read into the scripture things that strengthen their erroneous view, while leaving out verses that condemn their view. The same thing applies to all false beliefs and errors in theology, regardless of whether or not the adherents are Christians or not.

 

Splendid...so I have a solution. you go to your church & I will go to mine. No interaction need take place. As far as Im concerned you are anathema to me. I wouldnt even have my kids ....well you know where Im going with this.

 

I guess you intended otherwise,but the above looks like the Calvinists have shown you how many folks read things into Scripture in order to strengthen their erroneous view and yet leave verses out which condemn their view.

I seriously doubt that Calvinists are telling you that other Calvinists are doing the "bad things" you described.

Careful there Bobbie,you don't want to imply that Calvinists aren't Christians do you?

 

If it was good enough for warfield, it's good enough for me. And all the Calvinist said
