Re: ¿OSAS?
No, I do not consider myself a Calvanist. I do not know exactly what a Calvanist would say he believed. Melchizedek, after some thinking in the way I worded that statement, ...CAUSE US NOT TO INHERIT THIS KINGSOM, I may consider saying it a different way according to scripture. I will get back to you on that issue. I do not believe once saved always saved. I do believe however, once everlasting life, always everlasting life. I also believe I am saved, am being saved, and will be saved. We have already talked about Eph 2:8,9. In Phil 2:12, Paul tells us to "work out our own salvation with fear and trembling". Since Eph says we do not work to be saved and Phil says to work out our salvation, then it could mean that Paul was talking about two kinds of salvation. 1Pet 1:8- receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. It is the same word that is used in Acts 2:41...and about three thousand souls were added. A person is made up of three parts; spirit, soul and body. Ex.- Heb 4:12; 1Thess 5:23.

Re: ¿OSAS?
Although there are Biblical points in Calvinism, I believe it goes too far, beyond what is revealed to us in the Bible. There is Scripture to back the idea of predestination - but there is also Scripture to back the idea of man's accountability in using his own freedom.

Re: ¿OSAS?
What do you think about being rewarded in the next age?

Re: ¿OSAS?
I think that will be great!
The Bible tells us there will be rewards in heaven. It doesn't give us much in detail, though.
