Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

The Twin Daughters of Gospel Regeneration

My dear brother, did you listen to Paul's message? 
He does not advocate "decisional" regeneration... or did you miss the part about God opening Lydia's heart?  Sing, you will stand before God and answer for misrepresenting your brothers in Christ.

Dear Mighty Mollow,
This is what I wrote: "Decisional evangelism and decisional regeneration are twin daughters of gospel regeneration.
Another new school fullerite reviving a new path!"

No, I didn't say Paul Washer advocates decisional regeneration. I did say that "Decisional evangelism and decisional regeneration are twin daughters" of the gospel regenerationists. If you have a problem with my statement, it is your honour to explain the error of that statement.

I believe Paul Washer is a gospel regenerationist just like all the modern new school baptists - Fullerites. If I misrepresent him, I can repent now. So please prove that I have indeed misrepresented you and your friends.

We both will stand before God side by side...
- You for your crime of misrepresenting those you label as 'hyper-C' as ANTI-mean, while they are not.
- I for my crime of rightly calling you a gospel regenerationist, as well as your buddy Paul Washer!  <LOL>

Please bear in mind that God opening Lydia's heart to understand the gospel truth IS NOT THE SAME as God regenerating a Lydia dead in trespasses and sins.

REGENERATING someone dead in trespasses and sins and ENLIGHTENING someone already quickened/regenerated are very different.

A biblical distinction is the essence of sound theology

Before the gospel came to Lydia through Paul, she was already a God-fearing woman worshipping God. READ the passage and see what it says... don't just make it say what you imagined. May be to you, someone still dead in trespasses and sins is able to fear God and worship Him and pray to Him!

A biblical distinction is the essence of sound theology!
But wooliness is the mother of all confusion.
