1689 Baptist Confession

This is sneakily confusing... '... to make them willing and able to believe'. Oh, like they don't have a choice but to be saved.

Moreover, man having brought himself under the curse of the law by his fall, it pleased the Lord to make a covenant of grace, 2 wherein He freely offers unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in Him, that they may be saved;3 and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto eternal life, His Holy Spirit, to make them willing and able to believe.

I like how the bible verses are there under the statements so we can go and see where they get their ideas from in the Word of God

Dead men don't respond in faith unless and until they are called and made alive by the grace of God through the regeneration of their dead spirit.

[AcallWitness]

One could almost argue that the universal church is responsible for all false denominations outside of being an IFB?

[reformedcatholic]

I'm not exactly a Baptist, more Anglican.

Why do you advocate KJB only when the KJB translators got it wrong with the words "church" and "easter"? Even the KJB translators exhort the readers to make a "good" translation better. And, as the manuscript evidence dictates, there are better Bible translations that use the words "assembly" and "passover" just like the words in the manuscripts. Plus we can do without the Shakespearean 16th century old english. The 1st century writers of the Word of God wrote in common Greek and Hebrew, and never spoke a word of English. Dost thou now gettesth it, brother?

So, you believe you chose God and not the other way around? I wouldn't worry about someone talking about free will I'd worry about blasphemous pride.
