You quoted a verse from 1 Peter and implied that it is written to the BOC.
I quoted a verse that defines what baptism is today - for those of you who think its something other than being saved.

When you can't refute them with scripture, call them an idiot.
Lighthouse and Nick M have perfected this method. John W is a little more advanced in it.
I know that I don't agree with your view of salvation for sure, since you believe God creates people to torture them deliberately.
I believe God really is merciful and offers everyone equally the chance for salvation.
You certainly do not believe we change our mind about anything, since you believe we cant come to Him anyway.

I agree with your post.
It is the MADists who will not agree with you.
This is a terrible representation of my faith and Reformed Theology. It is emotional on your part, and not factual.
:sigh:
And I agreed with your post . . . but the MADists will not. Whether they will own up to it or not, they do not go along with what you posted.
I've already told you that I am a greater sinner than you will ever be.
My problem with you is how you act on TOL. You're 56 years old, yet you act like your 14.
Learn how to use the quote tags, quit copying other people's work, quit lying when you get caught, and quit repeating the same stuff over and over and over again.
:loser: No amount of scripture will change your feelings against us, so why bother.
If you want to make it a requirement, you need to give us a measurable value as to how much we are supposed to do it, in order to be saved. You won't and you can't.
It is a literal impossibility for someone to come to Christ without repentance.
But it is not a requirement for salvation
Think that through..
Umm what?

You have it in your head that repentance is wicked. That repentance defies grace.
But repentance is a product and evidence of God's grace.
The remorse shown by unbelievers is earthly and therefore selfish in its motives. BAD UNCHANGED HEARTS.
Remorse (repentance) granted by God to believers motivates souls to serve righteousness and bring glory to the name of Jesus Christ. JUSTIFIED CHANGED HEARTS.
Only God knows our hearts and judges whether our actions are self-serving or if they are done in the Spirit through faith and thanksgiving for His name's sake.
He surely sees through hypocrites who claim His name but continue to live and practice unrepentant sins. They may claim they are living a life of grace and freedom from the Law, but they only deceive themselves, for they cannot fool God.
God is not mocked. God gave the following command to the early elect church:
"Because it is written, 'Be holy for I am holy.'" I Peter 1:16; Leviticus 11:44, 45, 19:2, 20:7
(MADists wrongly deny Peter's teachings apply to N.T. believers; thus they will claim the Body of Christ should not pay this scripture any heed. In innumerable ways like this, they take away from the Word of God and advocate lawlessness!)

Chickenman disagrees.
(Acts 26:20) First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.
What does Paul mean in the above passage?
How much "practicing sin" disqualifies us? How much "continuing" in sin disqualifies one?
=out with the dbr
What sin/sins?
"Persons who practice and continue in sin without any regret or remorse, are not indwelt with the Holy Spirit of God, for conviction of sins is His commission on this earth. John 16:8-11"-Nag
1.Translated: Judas was saved.
2.who practice and continue in sin
=subjectivity-Muslims can do that.

Contrasts.
A person who practices sin, is describing someone who justifies sin.
Christians cannot justify what they know is wrong, because our conscience has been cleansed.
Every Christian commits acts of sin, but they don't try to justify it before God. If their is no guilt, they are spiritually illegitimate.
Does he? His exact words are:
"The gospel message to us doesn't include a REQUIREMENT to repent." - :chicken:man
does he say that there is no repentance?
The late Reformed preacher D.M. Lloyd-Jones said that a man who preaches the gospel correctly will be subject to the charge you have leveled against John W.Your posts advocate non-repentance and they reflect unholy beliefs, which amounts to lawlessness. II Thessalonians 2:7
No repentance frequired for unrepentant fools, is what he said.
I can't believe how you're so desperate to be on his side when you know he's wrong.
You know what you're demonstrating to us?
That you're a man pleaser.
