certainty of something as yet unseen.

HEBREW, A JEW, AN ISRAELITE

1. Whoever comes from Abraham is

a Hebrew

2. Whoever comes from Judah is a

Jew

3. In order to be true Israel God has

to change your name based on faith

in his promise

A spiritual ancestry does not make

you part of a divine heritage.

POINT 6.

The fruit of evangelism comes

because of the promise, not

because of contrived human

efforts to help God out.

CONTROVERSY IN THEOLOGY

ARMINIANISM Followers of James Arminius

BIBLICISM HYPER-CALVINISM Followers of John Calvin

John Wesley George Whitefield

Free Will The Spirit draws; the sinner responds

Unconditional Election

People may simply say a sinner’s prayer to be saved

Salvation is an exchange of life People are predestined to heaven or reprobated to hell

Sinless Perfection Depraved but able to respond Total Depravity

Can Lose Salvation Safe but Chastened for Sin Eternal Security

Nazarene, Pentecostal Fundamental and Evangelical Reformed Churches

Left Balanced Right

POINT 7.

God saved us as a free choice of his

divine election, and as a free choice

of our independent will, and both

sides are needed or you do not have

the truth.

DEFINITION:

Providence is God's prior provision

for your present situation.

WHAT PROVIDENCE PERCEIVES

1. What God wants to accomplish

2. What will be the response of

those involved

3. Human decision

POINT 8.

If God's decisions depended on our

choices, many of his goals would

never be accomplished.

POINT 9.

God does not make soft hearts

hard, he makes hardened

hearts brittle.
