Summary of Gospel and Christian Doctrine

-
This list of crucial Christian doctrine is not every crucial doctrine but is enough to separate the believer from the false churches. Flee all cults that seek to control your lives as well, fellow believers! 1. The gospel cuts the hearts of the pre-chosen, which is the spiritual circumcision. This cutting must come before true repentance as the power turns men and women to Christ, showing them their unbelief in a painful, but blessed way. This regeneration (a true rebirth) always precedes true repentance and faith. (Acts 11:18, 2 Tim 2:25). The gospel message is the good news of Christ's death and resurrection for the elect.  When applied by the Holy Spirit, that message replaces the old heart with a new heart. The gospel saves without the need for preparation. (Acts 2, Romans 1:16-17). 2. No preparatory work of law is required. The gospel is all powerful. The Protestants (often called Calvinists, but were divided into Reformed and Lutheran) and Catholic chief theologian Augu

The Gospel Alone is the Power of God

-
This gospel message (the Power of God), is the ability of God to cut the heart with the message of Jesus Christ having risen as Savior, from the dead.  This gospel affirmed by this blog is now specifically focused on Jewish people and many races that have Jewish DNA, and many Mediterranean and Latino people who have Jewish ancestry and don't know it, per the prophesy in Romans 11 spoken of by Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ. The Gentiles have been called to Christ for 2000 years. Few are left to be saved, if any. There are only a predetermined number of Jews and Gentiles to be saved in God's plan. Historically, most races and nations could have DNA of ancient Hebrews or current Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews in pockets of their populations, because of sailing, wars, close proximity, silk road, etc. Ancient Hebrew (Gedrosian admixture testing, Gedmatch) and post Christ Jewish DNA could be found almost anywhere. And this DNA could be washed out, for some, who are actual desc

Predestined to Hell

-
The human mind cannot always take in the sobering reality of predestination. We who are predestined are grateful, but sorrowful. We know many we love are not so predestined. It hurts. Paul said he could wish that he would suffer if his kinsmen would be saved. But it is also that same Apostle Paul who told the truth in Romans chapter 9, that some vessels were created for special use, like fancy kitchenware, and others were created for menial use, to be thrown away. The truth is, sin is created by those who are not kept from it. The devil and Adam created sin in their acts of defiance, having been permitted to have a will apart from the will of God. They used that will to create sin. It is always that way. Only God is good, and only His Will is sinless. So then, there are a few predestined to heaven, through God given faith. And there are many, including many who believed in predestination like Calvin and the Protestants, who are predestined to hell. They were created for menial
