Featured Why so much Angst About Limited atonement?

You have denied the Death of Christ by saying that it doesn't save! That's a awful lie not supported by one scripture! Peter wrote to Believers that they were healed /saved by His stripes, meaning His death and you deny it! The Resurrection of Christ provided Evidence that Christ death saved from the penalty of sins!

 

Perhaps you could refer to it as your own ignorance. It would be more truthful.

 

DHK"

Of course you have no idea who he is , because he is a real biblical theologian unlike you and your clown posts...:laugh:

the owner of a circus????, lets see who is the real clown-

Thomas R. Schreiner is the James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, professor of Biblical Theology, and associate dean of the School of Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

He serves as one of the general editors for the new Biblical Theology for Christian Proclamation commentary series and author of the inaugural volume: Commentary on Hebrews , which will be available on February 1. - See more at: http://www.bhacademicblog.com/inter...-christian-proclamation/#sthash.waKw3sC9.dpuf

This is why no one has any respect for you...you trash actual bible teachers and insert your vain thoughts as if you actually knew something:laugh:

So all of these men have it wrong, only you have it correct:laugh: yeah right!

 

It is not a matter of respect. You quoted someone, and thankfully gave the name of the person indicating you were not plagiarizing. That is good. But you put a name without a URL, (as you just did now), IOW, an unknown person, a nameless face. Had you put the URL with his name in the first place I would have had something to go on.

That is why I wanted the URL. To see where the guy was coming from.
And who are "all these men" that you are referring to?
I quoted the Scripture before you, and clearly gave the sense of it.
If this is what you are basing your salvation on--the works of a Christian, then it is works salvation. It doesn't matter what other people say.
Admit it. Peter is not writing about salvation, you know that. He is writing to believers as you already stated. These are qualities that Christians should show in their lives. They are also things that believers should "do." Thus the "doing" is what you are basing your salvation on.

The question I originally asked you is: "How do you know you are one of the elect?"
I had a follow-up question: "How do you know you have eternal life?"

In both you referred to this passage of Scripture. But this is not dealing with salvation it is speaking of the Christian walk, the "doing," the every day aspect of the believer's walk with God. If that is how you know you are saved, or "one of the elect," then your salvation is based on works, isn't it?

 

Absolutely. If someone gives you this passage as an answer for how they know they are saved, they are relying upon their continued good works to get them in heaven.

 

Brother Squire,

It is still open.

 

DHK stated that he googled Thomas Schreiner's name and yet claims he still doesn't know who the man is! Among other noteworthy things he authored what many feel is the second best commentary on Romans --first place goes to Doug Moo.
