The "Seeker-Sensitive" Video

This is a "seeker-sensitive" video. This is intended to exalt and be sensitive to the ONE AND ONLY seeker: Jesus Christ who is come in the flesh; the one who has "come to seek and save that which was lost." (Luk 19:10)

Many people in the modern and emergent movements claim that an empty profession of faith, akin to be of the same worth as a Sunday lunch with your friends in some cases, can "make a person reborn" simply by "their decision to come to Christ." However, Jesus says, "The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it came, and where it goes: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit." (Joh 3:8) It's impossible to declare a set place and time for someone to be born of the Spirit.

"Well, what about all the people who are seeking after God?", I hear one ask. Paul's reply is, "What then? are we better than they? No, in no way: for we have before proved both Jews and Greeks (everyone), that they ARE ALL UNDER SIN; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, THERE IS NONE THAT SEEKS AFTER GOD. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one." Sinners don't seek after God, God seeks sinners and saves them.
(Rom 3:10-12) Do sinning "seekers" even exist?

"Well, what about all the 'good' the 'seeker-sensitive' churches and movements?" I hear another say. How do you establish something that doesn't even exist for Paul has declared that there is none that seek after God. Jesus Christ is the seeker, and believers of Jesus are commanded to preach the Gospel, the ENTIRE Gospel in season and out. God chooses who will be saved. When you realize that, you may be more excited to pick up your Bible because then you will understand verses like, "And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and AS MANY AS WERE ORDAINED OR APPOINTED to eternal life believed."
(Act 13:48)

Believe in your heart and confess with your tongue and you shall be saved...God gives all men the option and he reveals himself to all men. While salvation is timing, in which the act is initiated by God, we ultimately make the choice. It says they were not sheep but it was their choice to not be part of his flock. God confronted me with salvation, but my yes had to align with His yes. If this poor interpretation of scripture is true...then what's the point of true evangelism? Not that I agree

Romans 11:7 not 17.. Sure someone already beat me to it :)

@ThePhnxman1 - First things first: what evidence do you have that I mentioned "life after death...", etc.? After all, whats good for the goose is good for the gander!

@ThePhnxman1

If your are asserting the reformed position you say that, and you are knit picking.

Look if you have evidence for angels, demons, and that Bible stuff produce it, otherwise admit you don't have any.

[ThePhnxman1]

@SamWiseGingy - Did I say that? Show me your "evidence".

[SamWiseGingy]

@ThePhnxman1 I want facts that support your position. You say Jesus came into human history as a supernatural being, then there ought to be facts that establish that position, do you have any?

[ThePhnxman1]

@SamWiseGingy - So, you want a video and three witnesses?

[SamWiseGingy]

@ThePhnxman1 Evidence = facts that support a conclusion. Example: There is no life after death because no one has any evidence of anything else. or Giant squids exist, here is a video and three statements from freighter captains. That would be evidence.

@lasvegasdaril - According to scripture: "For by grace are you saved through faith...it is the gift of God."

Now, what do you mean bu "ALL": the whole world, those saved by predestination, or those saved by believing the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached by his apostles and prophets?
