The condition for salvation is the sinner's response in comming forward.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the question here is can anyone or anything make God do what he is unwilling to do? I assume that you will answer no.<BR/><BR/>In the matter of salvation many want to say that God wants all sinners to be saved, yet they are free to choose to accept or reject salvation. God then is put in a position to do what he is unwilling to do - let unrepentant sinners perish. II Pet 3:9<BR/><BR/>This makes human will frustrate the Divine will. AR misunderstood the sovereignty of God in the salvation of sinners. A general and universal call to salvation obligates God to save all that come to him. Many sinners are going to perish.<BR/><BR/>God's salvation promises go forward to save and his promises to save will not return back empty nor void. His promises are effectual and prosperous. Isaiah 55:11 "Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated."<BR/><BR/>Salvation is determined by the will of God and not man. Dr Rogers would have unregenerate men baptized and Church members when in fact their hearts are cauterized in sins.WatchingHISstoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339668990091164802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009006369173381174.post-24608750587125620102007-10-11T02:26:00.000-05:002007-10-11T02:26:00.000-05:00Charles: "Preachers have the audacity to obligate ...Charles: "Preachers have the audacity to obligate God to be a God of love"<BR/><BR/>Bible: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" 1 John 4:8<BR/><BR/>Preacher obligate God to be a God of love?

I believe that I understand her cause, though she doubts me.<BR/><BR/>She deleted my comment to her reply. She does not take any comfort in the fact that God will get his revenge. <BR/>She and those who have suffered and have held faithful to the witness of Christ's atonement will observe the extreme humiliation of their perpetrators by an angry God and those victims will take delight in their avenged suffering.<BR/><BR/>If they were to see this future humiliation while on earth they would fall on their knees and beg God on behalf of their perpetrators punishment.<BR/><BR/>When the Bible says it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God it means it!!!<BR/><BR/>If a living perpetrator reads this post I warn you to get right with God. <BR/><BR/>If a bigshot celebrity preacher who preaches a lukewarm gospel reads this (or you know such a person) I severely warn you to preach the Word. If you don't heed this you will be cut asunder by Christ and cast with the lot of unbelievers.<BR/><BR/>This an urgent appeal to repent!!!WatchingHISstoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339668990091164802noreply@blogger.com
