Well, good. Maybe I'll read them then. When I found out what Calvinists believed and that he was Calvinist, they've been gathering dust. I even thought of selling them.

It may have been false slander you heard. Always best to check.

Satan and1/3 of the angels fell. Was that God's choice, or theirs?

I think you are jealous and fearful. That is why bullies bully. I have a real relationship with God that you won't even let yourself want.

Thanks. Always safe to go to the camels mouth and hear it for myself.

So the Calvinistic view that you have to be saved first in order to repent was not what Spurgeon taught. Good. Then do you think he believed in free will?

As I said, they have some faulty passions, but they are passionate about not sinning too. I've never heard that quote about Copeland. If it wouldn't be too much trouble could you tell me where you heard that. I'd like to hear him say it himself.

Thank you. Very informative. I have some Spurgeon books; a set of 20 volumes from the 1800's. Can you tell me how his teaching differed from actual Calvinism?

I goggled Westminster Confession of Faith. Is this only used by Presbyterians, or what other denominations? Are Presbyterians Calvinists?

Are you Calvinist? If so, please answer what Calvinism believes stops a Christian from sinning? And if a Christian continues to sin, what makes them think they were chosen?

I have hundreds. For 44 years the first thing He taught me was to wait and listen and only pray what He told me. I do, and I receive100% of what I pray. I never pray my wants. He already knows what I need and He'll tell me when He wants to provide it through prayer. I've already given many...

He's inside me, and I hear Him in my mind loud and clearly. And everything He told me to pray I receive immediately. Why would he need to speak outside of me?

From what I know of Calvinism, I cannot see Augustine's influence. Not when he exhibited great insight to the born again nature that Calvinism is blind to. What did Augustine teach that actually agrees with Calvinism that I can research? So far, you may have to ask for Augustine's forgiveness. LOL

What did you think of what I found out about Augustine?

Yes, there are. But they do have gifts, but they just don't give God the credit for their abilities. Charismatics do. I've met two Cessationists who were Spirit-filled, and gifted. One was Church of Christ, and the other was Seventh-day Adventist. As far as speaking in tongues. Jesus certainly...

ROFL No they are not. In fact, I would love to sit down with them and teach them what name it and claim it means. Among other things. I do not believe Jesus went to hell and there was born again. That was a new one for me, as I don't listen to either of them, just hearsay. But their hearts are...

For the uninformed, maybe. Charismatic is not Pentecostal. It is a general term for "Spirit-filled." Just like "Christian" is a general term. Pat Robertson of the 700 Club is Charismatic, but he is a Baptist. There are Charismatic Episcopals. Charismatic Catholics. And, of course, Charismatic...

I don't belong to a Pentecostal denomination.

I'm trying to think if I follow any isms and I can't think of any. Is abidingism a word?

I would love to know who, and how long ago, the phrase, "past, present and future" with regard to the forgiveness of sin started. 2 Peter 1:9 clearly says our past sins were forgiven. I've never seen a scripture that claims that once born again, our present and future sins are already cleansed.
