If you disagree it's not with him but with the word of God. He shows you scripture not his opinion.

If you would just forget about all these man-made doctrines like Arminianism or Calvinism and just rejoice in all that Christ has done to save you and that he has given you eternal joy with Him in the heavenlies.(Eph ch 1)

Well, then I would have to also forget about Feldickism. Anyway, I do rejoice in the salvation of the Lord but then, why did God give us His Word if we are to forget about it?

Lmor, ByHimOnly did not say "forget about the WORD." What he/she wrote was "forget about all these MAN-MADE doctrines like Arminianism or Calvinism..." and I agree with that 100%! A bunch of nit-picky man-made philosophies to "argue about," exactly the opposite of what the Bible says to do... (in Timothy I think). ------------- As for people leaving one comment in favor of Les, out of the millions of people on the internet, I'm sure there are plenty who visit a site and never go back. I do it myself all the time. Or maybe they didn't sign up to receive notices of future comments. Either way, it's really a non-issue. Who cares if they only comment once? You think Les has a covert cyber-army out here giving him good comments for some sinister purpose? To be frank, it's your comments that sound like someone who just wants to make trouble, stir up contention, etc. If you don't like Les, feel free to say so and move on. Why hang out at a site where you don't even like the person's teaching?

abbagail, you kind of making my point, unwillingly perhaps. BY the way, this is an opinion network, so mine is an opinion. Until proven wrong, I stand by it. On the other hand, isn't Les making his own man made doctrine? Think about it. But, far from me to tear down your idol. I tell it like I see (hear, read) it. Let's agree to disagree!

Imorovan sounds like a very lonely and sad person. Lets give him the grace that we have from Christ. When we read from Paul's epistles do we worship Paul. No, just as we don't worship Moses if we read and learn from the book of Genesis. Les is a vehicle used by the Holy Spirit to show us what the bible says. He is showing what the book says not what he says. We do not worship the messenger. We worship the one that died for us. We see that you don't believe what he teaches and that's ok. We know what we believe and we trust in His word. We will pray for your eyes to be opened.

Hey Imoroven, it's NOT Feldickism: it's Biblicalism.

"You shall have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3

Beautifully spoken, floorlady. Dearest lmor: An opinion is one thing, being antagonistic is another. Why try to insult us by referring to bro. Feldick as an idol? Silly words. Read floorlady's comment three times, or better yet, write it on a chalkboard 100 times. ;-) She said it so nicely. Nobody worships the teacher, but the One being taught about, namely HIS AWESOME GRACE. ------------------------ "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly TEACHERS..." - 1 Cor 12:28

It is not, in the strictest sense a teaching of Arminianism in that Arminianism holds to the tenets: Salvation is possible by grace alone. Wouldn't Arminianism be the formula of grace +nothing =salvation. Les Feldick seems to put forth the formula --- faith +nothing =salvation --- Grace alone is not exactly the same as faith alone. ------- And as to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, he openly admits --- Well I can't find any [repentance] in Paul's letter to the Church Age believers. It's not in here... --- when the Holy Spirit inspired Luke to record ---(Acts 17:30)--- The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he COMMANDETH men that they should ALL EVERYWHERE REPENT. --- And the Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write, ---(Romans 2:4)---Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, because you do not know that the kindly [quality] of God is trying to lead you to repentance? --- And, ROMANS 10:8-13 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ------- If this is a correct English translation of the Greek --- it looks like Paul is saying CONFESS with thy mouth (a work) + BELIEVE in thine heart (faith) = SAVED. Then restating Paul says BELIEVETH unto righteousness AND (plus) with CONFESSION unto SALVATION. ------- Does that look like faith +confession =salvation? --- It is a mystery as to how the Holy Spirit led Luke and Paul to the truth but Les Feldick says it is not in there. --- The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked, is a good thing, isn't it? --- Now that is Grace!

Hey Imorovan, you say you cannot seperate the law from grace.......unless you want to contradict Jesus. Well, I've got news for you, the risen Lord taught the apostle Paul to go to the Gentiles with the message of grace ALONE. Jesus taught Paul everything he needed to bring people into His eternal body who are saved by grace alone and remain under grace alone. Read Galatians 1:11-12. And Paul says over and over in his epistles that we are no longer under the law, but instead grace alone. The Lord Jesus Christ kept the law for us, and died and rose to save us and keep us by the gift of his grace alone, and not by our doing the works of the law. Yes, Jesus taught the law during his earthly ministry to the nation of Israel, but later he tells the apostle Paul to bring men to him not on the basis of keeping the law, but to bring them by His grace alone.
