We can acknowledge Jesus as Lord just as they those who converted to Christ in the book of Acts did BEFORE they were filled with the Spirit of God.
As for 1 Cor 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost
Paul is saying that it is only by the Spirit of God that someone can say in the prophetic that Jesus is the Lord and cannot call Jesus accursed. So if someone does say that Jesus is not Lord or that Jesus is accursed then you know that that person is not speaking by the Spirit of God. Paul is teaching this in the context of spiritual gifts and not salvation. |
I didnt say anything about God making them repent. I said you wont seek God until he opens your eyes
john 6:44
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
Im not preaching predistination, im telling you unless the Spirit of God draws you, then your not gonna seek Jesus, serious its just that simple.
Your not gonna wake up one morning and say im gonna go to church, not gonna happen. we all will spend our lives in a rioutous living camping out in the pig pin until the father draws us.
thats what i said, i didnt comment on predistination or make a point about calvinism
