What's the difference? Want to put up postframe shade over work area with scissors truss.

Does their baptism save them? Can they lose salvation? Are they universalists? What?

Should I consider myself a veteran? Like at events where they ask military vets to stand up. I've been told my service doesn't qualify for the American Legion -- what about Amvets?

I never hear Pentecostal preachers dig deep into the writings of Paul -- particularly Romans, Ephesians and Galatians -- the heart of Paul's gospel. What gives?

Is what we call free will any different than than the free will that Adam and Eve had before the Fall?

Speaking of Evangelical Christianity ...

Please give specific examples from his writings to back up your opinions!

Looking for something reliable, pretty easily found, and that will really get out and go in the wide open spaces we have in the Great Plains.

The 1689 London Baptist Confession, borrowing from the Westminster Confession, says, "Man, by his fall into a state of sin, hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation; so as a natural man, being altogether averse from that good, and dead in sin, is not able by his own strength to convert himself, or to prepare himself thereunto. ( Romans 5:6; Romans 8:7; Ephesians 2:1, 5; Titus 3:3-5; John 6:44 )

Jonathan Edward begins his most famous sermon, "The God that holds you over the pit of hell ... abhors you and is dreadfully provoked; his wrath towards you burns like fire; he look upon you as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight ..."

Does God "abhor" anyone? What's Edwards' point here? What great love is that which comes to die for and save that which he abhors?

Does God love the sinner even as He casts him into eternal hell?
