Alege Dumnezeu oamenii pentru mântuire?
Potrivit calviniștilor, expresia cei aleși este una dintre cele mai importante din Biblie, deși apare doar de șaptei ori în Noul Testament (Matei 24:24; Marcu 13:22; Romani 11:7; Coloseni 3:12; 1 Timotei 5:21; 2 Timotei 2:10 și 2 Ioan 1). Fără articol hotărât, cuvintele ales sau alegere apar de alte șaisprezece ori în Noul Testament. […]
Dlaczego powinniśmy mówić wszystkim o Bema
Kieruję GES od prawie czterdziestu lat. Każdego roku na naszym letnim spotkaniu zarząd ocenia mnie. Aby przygotować się do tego sądu, muszę wiernie wykonywać swoją pracę każdego dnia. Jeśli stracę z oczu moją ocenę, zwolnię w moich wysiłkach. Taka jest ludzka natura. Jeśli jednak skupię się na ocenie, podwoję swoje wysiłki. Bema (sądowa stolica Chrystusa) […]
What Does Praise the Lord Mean?
Have you ever said, “Praise the Lord”? If so, what did you mean? There is a lot of confusion in Christianity about what the expression means. Most people think that we praise the Lord when we 1) say the words Praise the Lord, and 2) have happy feelings during worship. But neither of those is […]
Бог выбирает людей для спасения?
По словам кальвинистов, слово избранный одно из самых важных в Библии, несмотря на то, что оно попадается только семь раз в Новом Завете (Матф 24:24; Мк 13:22; Рим 11:7; Кол 3:12; 1 Тим 5:21; 2 Тим 2:10 и 2 Ин 1). Без определенного артикля слова избранный и избрание попадается еще шестнадцать раз в Новом Завете. […]
Why Should We Tell Everybody about the Bema?
“And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming” (1 John 2:28). The Lord Jesus is coming again soon. After He comes, He will judge every Christian to determine the eternal rewards each will receive. Some will have confidence at […]
Recognize That You Are a Sinner
On many occasions, I have heard evangelists say that the unbeliever must recognize that he is a sinner before he can be saved. When unbelievers realize this, they will feel sorrow for their many sins. That is where repentance comes into play. It is like a two-step process prior to believing: One must admit that […]
Oblačenje za svečanu prigodu
U vojsci smo imali različite uniforme za različite prilike. Za najformalnije događaje nosili smo “plava odijela,” vojni ekvivalent smokinga. Ostale uniforme, poput onih koje smo nosili svaki dan na posao, nisu bile prikladne za te događaje. Ako biste nosili svoja “plava odijela,” to bi značilo da idete na večeru na kojoj će biti gost od […]
Dio elegge le persone alla salvezza?
Secondo i calvinisti, gli eletti è una delle espressioni più importanti della Bibbia, anche se ricorre solo sette volte nel NT (Mt 24:24; Mr 13:22; Ro 11:7; Cl 3:12; 1Ti 5:21; 2Ti 2:10; 2Gv 1). Senza l’articolo determinativo, le parole eletto o elezione ricorrono altre sedici volte nel NT. Tuttavia, altre parole trasmettono l’idea di […]
Is 1 John 1:9 an Evangelistic Verse?
Mark asks a question that has been popping up a lot lately: Hi, Mr. Wilkin. I am struggling with the idea 1 John 1:9 is speaking to both believers and unbelievers. Andrew Farley proposes this and states that 1 John 1:9 in the sense most churches and theologians believe is the equivalent of the Catholics […]
¿Escoge Dios a las personas para la salvación?
Según los calvinistas, la expresión los escogidosi es una de las más importantes de la Biblia, aunque solo aparece sieteii veces en el Nuevo Testamento (Mateo 24:24; Marcos 13:22; Romanos 11:7; Colosenses 3:12; 1 Timoteo 5:21; 2 Timoteo 2:10; y 2 Juan 1). Sin el artículo definido, las palabras escogido o elección ocurren otras dieciséis […]
