| HISTORIC BAPTIST DOCTRINE __________________ God Has Chosen Us Before The Foundation Of The World |
| God is absolutely sovereign and God has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world. Is God working all things out according to the counsel of His will? If so, then if it is God's will to save so and so, then so and so will be saved. I do not deny the responsibility of man. Just because man can not do something apart from God, does not relieve the responsibility of man or his guilt.
Man has a will and he will's not to come to Christ. God has a will and does God fail to save all that He will's to save? _____________ Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. In this verse, how many people that are given to Jesus, by the Father, will come to Jesus? ______________ Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. In this verse, does the words "draw him" in the first part of the verse and the words "raise him" in the second part, refer to the same person? ______________ Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. In this verse, how many people that have heard and learned of the Father come to Jesus? ______________ Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. Will the Father be denied His will? ______________ Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. According to this verse, is it the will of the Father that all have eternal life or just those that see and believe on Him have eternal life? ______________ Joh 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. In this verse, Jesus is praying to the Father. Is Jesus praying for every single person in the world or just those that are given to Him out of the world by the Father? ______________ Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Does believing make you a sheep or does it reveal that you are one? ______________ Joh 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. In this verse, who did Jesus give His life for? ______________ Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Who are the people that Jesus will save from their sins? |
