I’ll agree with that once you tell me what that actually means -Chosen by God (chapter 2 part 3)
Tuesday, December 28th, 200412:28 am
The title (of the second chapter of R.C. Sproul’s brilliant book on predestination) is “The Sovereignty of God.” I’ve read more than a few books about predestination, and all them spend time talking about how God is “sovereign.” None of them, however, do a very good job of explaining exactly what […]

3. Therefore, it is absolutely true that it is a wrong for women to pray or prophesy without […]
Something like what John Wesley said
