There are too many Christians who avoid politics to fight Islam, a revival of Communism, Socialism, and materialism for a variety of reasons they believe are biblical:

• Jesus didn’t get involved in politics. (He also didn’t marry or have children.)

• The rapture is around the corner. (There is no such event. No single verse in the NT says the church will be taken off the earth before, during, or after seven years.)

• Politics can’t save us. (Whoever said it could?)

• Christians should not be involved in politics because it’s dirty. (Does this mean you’re OK with politicians pushing their dirty politics on us and taking away our freedoms?)

• We can’t impose our view of morality on other people. (Are you OK with letting non-Christians impose their morality on all of us? There’s no neutrality.)

• The Christian’s Citizenship is in Heaven. (This didn’t stop Paul from appealing to his Roman citizenship.)

• There is a separation between Church and State (There is a jurisdictional separation as the Bible teaches, but it does not teach separation of God and civil government.)

What does it mean to repent according to the Scripture? What saves us?

I just pulled out my copy.

Yep.

Loads of Calvinism in it. But they don't tell you it is Calvinism. And they don't offer other views or interpretations. 

BTW... I would not recommend BSF. Just wanted to say that. I did two studies (Romans and Genesis). I would not recommend BSF for a few reasons including the way they study the Bible.  

I haven't watched this entire livestream, but will share it for anyone who wants to watch it.

If you can't know if you are truly saved unless you persevere to the end, then how can you know you have the Spirit of God living in you? 

You can't.

The same Calvinists who "hope" they are saved and say so openly, can also only "hope" they have the Holy Spirit living in them. 

This is not what the Bible teaches.

Dig into the Word and see what God tells us about the Holy Spirit in the life of His child.

Book he mentions: The Unseen Realm

Ignore the weird graphics. The truth in his answer is the gold.

Every one of those squares represents a job, a house, a classroom seat, an appointment at the doctor's office, etc. that is freed up for an American citizen.

Now multiply this across 50 states. And add in the ones who still need to go back. And all the people working in this country on visas who don't need to be here. 

IT'S MIND-BOGGLING.

I will not give up grace merely because carnal men abuse grace. Nor will I give up eternal security because carnal men exploit it and use it as a license to sin.

The fact is, men use Arminianism as a license for sin too. They don't have to repent today because they can always repent tomorrow.

In forty-five years of experience, I have observed that eternal security gives men better ground for gaining victory over sin and going to higher ground. They don't get discouraged and give up.
