CALVINISM IS RIGHT ABOUT UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION—where the nation of Israel is concerned but wrong on the election and salvation of the individual sinner. Without national election of the seed line there could be no salvation, for the Redeemer, the GOD-MAN, must come into the human race at God’s time in order for a suitable substitute [...]

Centuries of discussion over what John Calvin taught or did not teach is a wonder to behold. Any attempt to defend or disprove John Calvin is a waste of time. Besides, he was a man who originated nothing; he merely took what other believers had held for centuries before him, added some ideas of his own [...]
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 12 That is, that I may be [...]

The old error of a tribulation rapture of the Church (the Body of Christ) has returned and some King James Bible folks are falling for it. Like other erroneous doctrines, spiritualization of the scriptures is the shaky backbone of the Mid-tribulation rapture theory. Recently a popular TV evangelist said he knew for sure that [...]

Another law is but a bandaid on a [...]

A short answer on “confession of sins” and “forgiveness of sins”: Our sins have all been paid for by Christ’s death–past, present, future and we are now seated in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 2).
