Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Men may call me a knave or a fool, a rascal, a scoundrel, and I am content; but they shall never by my consent call me reformed. Borrowed, in part, from John Wesley. With respect JM, your demands on others that they answer yes or no and using terms such as telling people they are using “weasel word...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Are you kidding here? Do you actually know what you are talking about? Are you playing with definitions again? I am using the definitions provided by the "Three Forms of Unity." That is how continental reformed define themselves. Any definition other than this is a definition that is not l...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I'm echoing FOTW's position in the S&T articles which say that just as life doesn't begin at birth, so spiritual life doesn't begin at baptism. Life begins at conception. And the work of the Spirit begins prior to baptism. No one can know the moment that happens. But baptism is the end-point of...

Regenerate. Simple one word answer. The act by which God transforms the individual from being a lost sinner, alienated from God, into His child. One is “begotten from above” or born again.

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Once again, we believe that salvation is a process. We have been saved, we are being saved, and we shall be saved. So, I believe both statements above. Baptism IS required for salvation. "Baptism doth now save us." Baptism IS for the remission of sins. But since the process of salvation b...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Which position does FotW hold? “Baptism is required for salvation”. vs “It is possible for someone to be saved before they are baptised.” See, in my denomination, the criteria for salvation isn’t unclear or ambiguous. Belief in Jesus’ offer of free salvstiin, and then a desire to accept that free g...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I have no interest in repeating hours of research and writing here. The discussion with Mr. Miloni is well documented in Sword and Trumpet. I stand by what my associates and I wrote. If you are interested, read it there. I put many hours in that, and my position is clear. For those who may not have...
