Jim this is a little more forcefully 'impressed' then promise keepers. The article states. "In the program's first five months, the network has grown to have representatives in 20 states and involves professors, pastors, rabbis, imams and lay people who focus on creating an alternative to traditional interreligious dialogue. Siljander said he believes his program will succeed where others have failed.His website explains that the first four tracks are *diplomats negotiating 'peace?' plans, politicians implementing agreements through legal processes, 'military pressure to comply' and economic strategists motivating with incentives.* Then the "Trac 5" is an effort to "coach key influence makers through a process so powerful it can turn enmity into reconciliation." In Trac5 we have found a spiritual model by which if enough people get engaged in this process, it can help undermine radicalism in anything, Islam, Christianity, whatever radicalism's face may look like," Siljander stated. "And empowering hopefully the majority of people who support peace and the way of life we enjoy here in America,"* Siljander said. This sounds more like Iraq, and 'Arab Spring' than Promise Keepers? |

Michael Hranek wrote: EP How are you doing? I hope God is working things out for the better with you. I and I am sure others have been lifting you up in prayer before the throne of grace. The patience of my God with me amazes me. It reveals His veracity and my pitiable estate; yet, He bids me not faint and to be patient and Christ has great reserves of His strength and patience for to me to draw from. But it has become most apparent today, that my wandering from my place, calling and station, into the camp of the Independents and Sectaries has been very costly. May God have mercy on my careless disobedience for Christ's sake. Hebrew 6:16-19 "For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, (His promise and his oath) in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;" |

I believe the real problem that needs to be addressed is the Doctrine of the Church, that is what is making this very confusing.WCF Section 25 1. The catholic or universal church which is invisible, consists of the whole number of the elect. That have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ the Head thereof; and is the spouse the body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all. 2. The visible Church, which is also catholic or universal under the gospel (not confined to one nation as before under the law), consists of all those throughout the world that profess the true religion; and of their children, and is the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, the house and family of God, out of which there is no 'ordinary possibility of salvation.' This is where the difference lies |

Lutherism wrote: "Unless I can be convinced by Scripture or evident reason, I will not recant." -Dr. Martin Luther (Circa 1520) "I will not allow anyone to tell me what I can and cannot preach" -Rev Van Impe (Circa 2011) Same tune, different day? Not if you compare history with the whole of Scripture, I think your statement is a bit of a twist.If a man states truth it is truth however when I read this article Rev.12:14-17 came to mind. "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." |

If I rightly understand what you are all saying, then tell me why you have a problem with WCF SC?Q.30 What is effectual calling? A. Effectual calling is the work of God's Spirit, whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he doth persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to us in the Gospel. This is what most of you are saying I believe, but I asked the 'order question' because I was confused by Michael H's statement,"For example here a totally arbitary predestination and election OR a predestination and election where God brings an individual to repentance, faith and the new birth?" |
