Re: The Narrow Way
I think this is broader than just Anabaptism, but all three are relevant. I have been saved, I am being saved, I hope to be saved. The Bible clearly uses the word in all three senses. That's one of the things that led to the traditional distinction between justification, sanctification, and glorifi...

Re: The Narrow Way
Yet the Bible speaks in no such terms about salvation, John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life . So what is so appealing to the expression that we are "being saved"? Is it out of ...

Re: The Narrow Way
Also, the more I read the Scriptures, the more I see confirmed that it is very Biblical to say that faith in Jesus Christ is the only requirement for salvation. In Acts 16 the very question is even asked, "what must I do to be saved?" And the simple answer is given, "believe on the Lo...

Re: The Narrow Way
Here's how I understand Matthew 7:21-27: That part of the Sermon on the Mount was actually the topic of one of the sermons that the Lord used to convict my heart of sin, sermon was by Paul Washer. But yes there are alot of people that think they know the Lord when they actually don't - like myself ...

Re: The Narrow Way
I appreciated your post, Paul. True discipleship is based in costly grace. Both halves are crucial. Grace is not the opposite of committed discipleship, it is the basis of committed discipleship. Important distinction that this thread was about entering God's Kingdom, "This morning’s women’s B...

Re: The Narrow Way
The simple way of salvation by grace through faith seems to be such a stumbling block, but I read again this morning how the apostle Paul declares that what is required of us to enter through the narrow way into the Kingdom of God, is simply faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 13:38-39 Be it known unto you ...

Re: The Narrow Way
This morning’s women’s Bible study focused on “Entering God’s Kingdom.” The specific passage was Luke 13:22-30, with Matthew 7:13-23 as a point of reference, which I actually much prefer. I thought that it would be an interesting topic to post. What does Jesus mean when he speaks of making “every e...

Re: Conversion
Maybe I also misunderstand the quote from Spurgeon. The way I understand that quote is that Spurgeon was discussing exactly that kind of a "conversion." A conversion in which a man does not understand his own helplessness. And he says such a conversion isn't going to do the job. Needs to ...
