[TruthTalk] Saving Faith -- what is it?

Question : "Who can declare what are the essential doctrines of soteriology?? All the doctrines are interconnected.   The Scripture cannot be broken. So, anyone denying one doctrine, denies them all."   My response:   There are TWO issues here. 1st -- as you said, anyone who repudiates any of t

[TruthTalk] Imputed Righteousness is Essential Doctrine

Today, I came across a quote that I would like to bring up for discussion: "People can be saved in varying degrees of theological error. There are regenerated people who do not understand predestination, don't accept election, don't understand federal headship, are clueless about imputation, Chri

[TruthTalk] Unbelievers CANNOT Pray

I hold to the view that unbelievers cannot pray to God. I'd like to start a thread on this. My first pointer will be to a question from the Apostle Paul in Romans 10:14. “How then may they call on One into whom they have not believed?” Here's my take on it Let’s consider how the gospel

whilst His wrath abides on the rest. The first group have no condemnation in Christ Jesus --and have full assurance that they have the imputed righteousness.

[TruthTalk] Repentance Unto Life

G'day everyone,   There is much confusion about what constitutes "repentance unto life". Most people make it into a work necessary for salvation. I don't. So I'm interested to know what you think about a brief article I wrote on the Presbyterian view. I think Presbyterians (like almost every

[TruthTalk] Judging by Doctrine

Hi Izzy,   I agree with the first half of what you said. Believers are commanded to separate from unbelievers, and not to speak peace to them (2 John 9). And when we say we are to judge by "fruit", we mean doctrine. If you look at the context of Christ speaking in Matthew 12...   33 Either m

[TruthTalk] Doubting your salvation ?

If someone doubts that they are a believer of the gospel, because they sin, then they do not understand the gospel.   The WHOLE point of the gospel, is that Christ came to save filthy vile hell-deserving sinners who will continue to sin after their conversion (their change of mind to the tr
