Yet saying the sinners prayer once is eternal salvation…..
And where will you find John Calvin…. Two guesses and Heaven isn’t one of them
John Calvin makes clear baptism is not necessary for salvation:
"How much evil has been caused by the dogma, ill expounded, that baptism is necessary to salvation.
For when the opinion prevails that all are lost who happen not to be dipped in water, our condition becomes worse than that of God's ancient people, as if his grace were more restrained than under the Law.
In that case, Christ will be thought to have come not to fulfil, but to abolish the promises, since the promise, which was then effectual in itself to confer salvation before the eighth day, would not now be effectual without the help of a sign."
- John Calvin, Institutes, Book IV, Ch. 15.
So much for scripture alone ….. 1 St. Peter 3:21 Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
What is tragic is thinking you are your own Pope, Bishop and Priest. Then thinking because you said some magic words (the sinners prayer) you are saved forever and forgiven for past present and future sins….
One day sitting on the toilet arguing with the devil and throwing the devil in his butt…… toilet Bowl 🚽 theology
509 years ago today (according to the traditional story), Luther challenged a Pope. The resultant cause and effect didn’t start a new church, it reformed the one true catholic church. As Calvin says in his letter to Cardinal Sadoleto:
"[N]ot only that our agreement with antiquity is far closer than yours, but that all we have attempted has been to renew that ancient form of the Church… Indeed, in attacking, breaking down, and destroying your kingdom, we are armed not only with the energy of the Divine Word, but with the aid of the holy Fathers also."
Orthodox, but not Eastern, catholic, but not Roman.
Faith alone….. St. Paul never taught that.
1 Corinthians 9:27 Instead, I chastise my body, so as to redirect it into servitude. Otherwise, I might preach to others, but become myself an outcast.
I am deceived …. Your a 🤡
