“ Great Sermon! ”
We face a difficulty: Is possible that only those who have heard about Christ can be saved? Or is salvation also available for those who haven't heard about him? The element which solves this dilemma is the criteria according to which God will judge those who never heard about Christ and grant them salvation. The Bible states that God is holy and will judge humans with justice (Acts 17,31), according to the available measure of revelation they had and their response to it, expressed through their deeds (Romans 2,6), words (Matthew 12,36-37) and thoughts (Hebrews 4,12). The amount of revelation one has determines a consequent measure of responsibility on his behalf (Luke 12,47-48). In the Western world, almost anyone has elementary knowledge about Christianity, and therefore the terms of one's salvation are clear. As for those who never had the chance to hear the Christian message or heard a perverted version of it, it is obvious that their judgment will require other criteria than responding to the historical Jesus Christ.
God didn’t leave the world without a proper testimony about himself (Acts 14,17) and doesn’t condemn anybody without first revealing his grace. Pastor Cairn's explanation is thus wanting. Pygmies, Eskimos, Indians, Chinese dock workers may never have heard. |

I have read a good bit about the "doctrines of grace" since coming to SermonAudio. I reckon it must be grace that kindles the fires of brotherly love that burn so brightly in many of these threads. Makes me want to run right out and join a Reformed church. I think you have enough of such issues in IFB churches... in fact what's happening here is tame in comparison...so less of the holier than thou please.________ Connor7 Have you ever read any of the reformed writers on the Holy Spirit? E.g. John Owen, James Buchanan, Octavious Winslow, Edwin Palmer, Abraham Kuyper etc. I suggest you do before deciding who holds a high view of the Holy Spirit and his work. |

I have a FRIEND whose faithful love

‘Tis higher than the heights above,
And deeper than the soundless sea:
So old, so new, so strong, so true;
Before the earth received its frame,
He loved me - Blessed be His name! And now he doesn't care whether I repent or not, he loves me that well!  |

“ The Word speaks plainly ”
True believers who are born again have nothing to worry about ever because the Word gives us assurance of our Eternal Salvation.
Jude 24-25King James Version (KJV)
24�Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25�To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Romans 8:38 Context
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We don't trust in 'feelings' but in Christ and faith in Him, is a gift from Him.
John 3:3 and John 3:16 and .....
Romans 10:9 |
