A study of Bible teaching about Calvinism compared to salvation by obedient faith. Includes the following topics: * Original sin and inherited depravity* Election and predestination* Grace and mercy of God* Falling from grace* Imputation of Christ's sinless life* Faith only or obedient faith?Does Scripture teach that we are born totally depraved because we inherit Adam's sin, or are we free moral agents having the free will power to choose between good and evil? Are the elect chosen based on unconditional predestination, or is forgiveness conditional on our conduct? Did Jesus die as atonement for the sins of all people or just for a limited few? What is the relationship between law, faith, works, and grace? Can a child of God so sin as to be lost, or does the Bible teach the perseverance of the saints (eternal security or "once saved, always saved")? #Bible #BibleStudy #BibleLesson
This "Grace Reigns Christian Bible Course STUDENT COMPENDIUM For Seeking Mainstream and Fundamentalist Mormons; A Believer's Resource For Understanding Mormonism" is a condensed companion student guide which is ideal for the student's study and referral when witnessing to Mormons (LDS and Fundamental LDS). This volume contains key Biblical doctrines which are outlined to aid those who are transitioning from Mormonism, or simply seeking Biblical truth. The Course asks for the student to "reason" with God as He beckons all to do. Organized man-centered religion is replaced with a Bible-filtered understanding of the true Gospel of the Lord Christ Jesus, His Gospel of Grace, and aids in eliminating confusion and blurring of the Truth. The student is encouraged to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that they may be born again and enjoy the Salvation that Jesus Christ alone procured for all who will believe that it is through His blood shed on the cross, that God's work is sufficient, without the works of man, to propitiate all sin for the born again believer. Jesus said His believers would be known by His name, thus, believers are in fact 'Christ-ians' (Christians) just as Jesus said they would be. May this Course be a blessing to the lost, and may all glory be God's.
The subject of grace has been one of the mysteries of spirituality since the beginning of time. This book unravels this mystery by demonstrating that there never was a mystery, since grace is all about us, every moment of existence. All mankind need do is listen to it, and submit all the signals of this constancy and all-encompassing infinity of grace to the Holy Spirit within, leading to ascension to mankind's rightful place in the heaven of our consciousness of The One, the birthright that everyone is entitled to as part and whole of our birth from the creator itself.
