Today we look at, (The Function of Faith)
Taught by Dr. Paul Lee.
http://andnowyouknowmore.blogspot.com
Lesson 2 from the series, “Faith”
When you consider what faith is, “…whatsoever is not of faith is sin,” (Romans 14:23)
Varnel Watson
What is the function of Christian faith? Luchen Bailey is asking a valid question prevalent in the church today. For Calvinist’s faith has no function at all. Irresistible grace denies a person his/her human choice. If TULIP is right, faith must have no function at all… David Rollings Roger David Alexandre Goncalves Grover Katzmarek Sr Thank God TULIP is wrong
Roger David
Amen!
David Rollings
Have you read the Canons of the Synod of Dort, which is where the five points of Calvinism come from, if so you could not make the above statement. Calvinists have emphasised Faith your statements don’t make sense in the light of any Reformed Confession of faith.
Alexandre Goncalves
Why do you affront to my faith? Respect! I am a member of the Church of God in Brazil since 1988. I was a missionary among Indians, was a missionary in Cuba in difficult years, I lost my wife and my 12 year old daughter tragically. Still loving the Lord and believing in it. This subject has already given! I have almost 30 years of gospel. You will not convince me!
Alexandre Goncalves
Confronting those who believe in Calvinism is confronting great men of God in history. Spurgeon, George Whitefield, Paul Washer, John Piper, Jonathan Edwards, among others. All these lived holy and godly lives. They were not in sin and are an example of faith for us. Please do not despise a centuries-old faith!
Roger David
I despise Calvinism no matter who ascribed to it. It makes God the author of sin. That is not my God.
Alexandre Goncalves
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45: 7
Roger David
Alexandre Goncalves please tell me you do not ascribe moral evil to God. This verse speaks of calamity which draws people to seek God.
Roger David
Never mind..Calvinists think God pre planned child rape. I forgot.
Alexandre Goncalves
God is sovereign. To hell touch the life of Job, he had to ask permission from God. God is the origin of everything. God is not what you or I think. God is what He is, like it or not
Roger David
Never mind..I forgot Calvinists think God pre planned child rape. I forgot.
Roger David
This is why I can’t stand the heresy of Calvinism. Makes me sick hearing people claim such things. I can’t stand this conversation anymore. Repent!!
Alexandre Goncalves
I think you have to deal with. A psychologist is recommended in these cases is a few hours of rest too.

Roger David MODERN day CALVINISM IS just NOT BIBLICAL http://www.pentecostaltheology.com/modern-calvinism-is-not-biblical/
Alexandre Goncalves
It should not be allowed to use a blog of the Church of God to speak ill of Calvinism or Arminianism. The Church of God never stood on one side. The soteriology of the Church of God is not a Calvinist nor Arminian. It is open to both sides.
Varnel Watson
Hey Alexandre I saw your blog but it was in Spanish. I am just an ole Georgia boy that doesnt read Spanish. Here’s a discussion I was reading. If you or bro David can add some new point to it OK but there’s no need to repeat ourselves over and over again http://www.pentecostaltheology.com/sabbath-debate-calvinist-vs-armenian/
David Rollings
The great Reformed Theologian B.B Warfield wrote an easy to understand statement of the Reformed Faith. Here it is https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/briefuntechnical.html I find this to be a Biblical Statement of Faith.
