yep.. still a real genuine 5 point Calvinist or, put another way, a biblical Christian…. placing myself under the full counsel of God, rightly dividing the Scriptures, not afraid to say that salvation is all of God, none of man, so that God gets ALL the glory, I deserve none, for my very choice of God could have only happened if He first chose…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ May 04 2008,19:36)It's no secret that I have been losing faith over the past 6 months. My posts reflect this change so dramatically. I know because I have gone back and read some posts from “before” my turn. I was trying to pin-point why the change took place. Ironically, the change began as I studied harder, as I dug deeper…[Read more]
