To Royston, on Philippians 2:12 (Interested )

"If you will read the following verse 2:13 carefully it is easy to see who is right - the Calvinist or the Arminians. What or who is the cause of your "working out your salvation"? Is it Free-will or God? I think verse 13 is one of the plainest verses on this subject." I agree with you that the cause has always been God playing the critical role throughout the journey of the believer. And at the same time, the believer has to also respond in a manner that is becoming of a believer. After all, this Phil 2:12-18 was spoken to urge the Philippian believers to continue being faithful, even more so when Paul was not with them. Therefore, the Philippian believers are relieved to know that their working out of salvation or faithfulness is not on their strength alone, but God is in control, watching over them. (Actually, would you substitute the word 'salvation' for faith instead) Could we deviate a little? Is it wise to make up our mind on theology, causing new discoveries to cease? Is there a reason why you commented this? I am asking this, because one of my pastor is urging me to constantly broaden my theological mindset and keep an open mind, as the knowledge I possess would determine the knowledge I would impart to others. Therefore, he is calling me to raise my 'lid'. The earlier question, therefore is in conflict with my pastor's opinion. If I am not to close my mind on theology, but to keep an open mind about it, then how can I achieve my raising of 'lid'? |

Hi Royson, I said what I said because it is a waste of time arguing with the Arminian. Will get back to you again. n/t. by Interested , 2001, Oct 25
So it is then better to remain open-minded abt theology, just as one of my pastors is encouraging me to do? Ü thanks by Royston Ong, 2001, Oct 28
