" Then there shall be two men in the field; one will be taken, and
one will be left. " Mt. 24:40
*************************************************************
not only will the elect go through the Great Tribulation but this
verse obviously teaches Christ did not pay the penalty for the sins of
the whole world as the Fundamentalists say...
if Christ did pay the complete penalty for the sins of all, then the
man " left behind " is just as worthy as the man who was " taken."
' worthy ' only because his sins were paid for, too. partial
redemption is not found in Holy Scripture... yet, this is what the
Fundamentalists profess.
though the Fundamentalist claims Christ paid the penalty for the
sins of all, yet, some will be left behind.
in the Fundamentalist gospel, unbelief, though a sin, is the sin
Christ did not pay for. that's how they justify getting the boast of
the flesh when they save themselves by ' believing '... though they
mistake ' assent ' for ' believing.'
regardless of the fact that the words of Christ, Eternal Blessed
Most Holy God the Son Himself says " believing ' in man is the work of
God ( Joh. 6:29 ) the Fundamentalist takes that credit for himself...
mistaking assent for believing unto salvation, which God wroughts in
man.
and not only that, he counts his good work of believing ( assent )
as the cause by which God can now cover him with grace... grace means
" unmerited favor. "
in other words, the Fundamentalist is graced after his good work of
what he thinks is believing but is actually assent; then, and only
then, does he merit eternal life.
it's all of man. grace comes after you merit it. now man can boast
of helping Christ save him... without this help from man, Christ is
powerless to save. this, the Fundamentalist freely admits. his god
is impotent.
wonderfully, Jesus Christ is Eternal God the Son and saves whom He
desires and hardens whom He desires. Ro. 9:18
He does not need man's permission to save whom He desires since
salvation is based in the mercy, love and grace of God towards
hardened sinners He chooses to un-harden; simply because it's His good
pleasure. Eph. 1:3-14; Eph. 2:1-10
man is not saved by the will of man as the Fundamentalist say, but
by the will of God. Joh. 1:12,13. God gets the glory for the
doing... how is it that the Bible is crystal clear on who does the
saving of sinful, hardened man yet those calling themselves
' Christians ' take the glory for the saving ?
