Salvation - Decision or Election?
Submitted by CJCURRY on Thu, 2008-05-29 13:38. GeneralFor he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. Ephesians 1:4
The aspect of Divine Election is one subject I have grown to appreciate and understand more fully over the years. As much as I believe firmly in Evangelism and the great commission, I firmly believe that only God can save people, that He ultimately decides who He will reveal the glorious gospel to as we proclaim it.
Here’s a few questions to ponder…
Can a person decide to be saved when the term "Saved" implies being rescued by another? Is Salvation a choice based on a decision or does salvation come through a divine conversion? Can a lost soul consciously reject the gospel of Jesus Christ if he fully comprehends it? Is it possible to decide to follow Jesus based on one’s own free will? OR is their a higher power at work at the very moment of inception? In other words, is our ability to comprehend, understand, receive, and believe the gospel of salvation in itself an act of God’s grace and power alone? If you believe we are saved by the grace of God, and you believe that, as Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him” (Matt 11:27) then you must conclude the latter. And that is what solidifies ones salvation and what holds us to Him…Grace. It is not for us to decide, it is His choice…

An Essential Truth & Sound Doctrine
Submitted by CJCURRY on Mon, 2007-10-01 00:55. GeneralPENAL SUBSTITUTION - An Essential Truth & Sound Doctrine
It's amazing how doctrine affects the way we ultimately live out our faith. If our view of God's character is wrong, our understanding of the gospel will be limited and in some cases distorted. On the subject of the Atonement there have been two opposing view points flying around. One is correct while the other is a serious defection from sound doctrine and bblical truth. The Doctrine of Penal Substitution is not a theory, it is a non-negotiable essential of Christian doctrine. This is the biblical view that Christ received our deserved punishment in order to satisfy the justice of God. The contrary position limits the character of God to one dimension (His mercy) while ignoring another dimension (His Wrath).

Week #2 – SOTERIOLOGY - DOCTRINE OF SALVATION
Download the MP3 recording of this session [60:00m] 20MB
This topic deals with God’s predetermined plan of salvation by grace through Faith in Jesus Christ and how faith in Christ comes about by divine conversion. The study of the doctrine of Salvation is called Soteriology. Salvation involves deliverance from the bondage of sin (Rom. 8: 16, 17), and from self (Lk. 9: 23). Salvation is preservation in the sense the saved are kept by God (Jn. 3: 16). Safety is an element, if you will, of salvation in that God assists those who are endeavoring to do his will (I Cor. 10: 13). Salvation is about reconciliation, the saved are sons and daughters, God is their Father (2 Cor. 6: 17, 18). It is obvious salvation is a state of preservation, deliverance, and relationship (Eph. 2: 1, 4, 5, 6, Jn. 10: 27-29, Jude 24). Through salvation man is reconciled (made a friend with God (2 Cor. 5), justified (Rom. 5), redeemed (I Pet. 1: 18, 19), and cleansed (Acts 22: 16).
