One confusing thing about Calvinism is the English words elect and predestined. It might help to consider the elect as those who chose to accept an invitation extended to all. By making this choice, they gain entrance into a category that had been predetermined that some would occupy. It can be...

Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. The kingdom gospel was intended to make the nation of priests (Israel) that would bring...

Well, Philip was sent to baptise an Ethiopian, and it was water baptism: Philip was preaching the kingdom gospel associated with Israel and water baptism.

Not every use of "baptizo" means water immersion. Peter was writing to believing Jews who had been dispersed. Water baptism may have only been for the believing remnant of Israel in anticipation of the earthly kingdom. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not...

The first covenant was established by the agreement of all the people. This two party agreement would also be required for the new covenant as well. Not just representatives. The age that would come with the earthly kingdom has been described as filled with supernatural power of which the early...

could you explain? I haven't heard of two seperate gospels Gal 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; Jesus came to offer the earthly kingdom to the nation in fulfillment of prophecy...

Not all of the information you are getting may be accurate. One might expect that since Satan sets the course of this word (Eph 2:2) (for now and insofar as he is allowed by God), that he would have worked to make Christian practice systematized so that it prevents Christians from maturing. That...

You could use a "video tract" like this one 19 minutes long; https://christianpioneer.com/videos/video%20tract%20christianity%20comp.mp4

BAD COMPANY CORRUPTS GOOD CHARACTER It may be that's what Satan was counting on when he invented college.

There are single party covenants such as when God declares he will do something. There are also two party covenants where both parties have to agree to something. The first covenant between God and Israel was such an agreement. The second covenant was offered but not accepted. There is a view...

I handed out tracts at an Elizabeth Claire Prophet meeting once and felt a real oppressive darkness form that dissipated like nothing by recalling the hymn "I know Whom I Have Believed". To me the raising of the shield of faith works exactly as described in Ephesians chapter 6.

Some pastors see it their responsibility to chew out the slackers i their church. This is seldom helpful. One might see from Ephesians chapter four tat the whole reason there is a pastor is to reach each church member how to be more like Jesus. By this standard can anyone think of a church that...

There is a free pdf booklet called "The Traditional Christian's Guide to the Family in Modern Times" that touches on the subject of the corruptive influences of modernity. Perhaps even more important that out churches are our families to do what we can to resist the evil in the world...

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the...
