Whether someone denies the need for salvation, the only way to be saved is by accepting Christ, and none here have done so except myself of course.Free will. God chooses those who choose Him. God calls by predestinating by foreknowing our free choice.All Christians have been called to share the gospel of salvation to spread to the world. Thus all Christians have authority. The Bible calls all believers a "royal priesthood".All Christians are authorized to give the gospel of salvation to you. I conclude according to the Bible you are going to Hell. Just as we have to lock up people in prison for life, you need to be locked up in Hell for eternity and so you shall be after you are resurrected.
Hebrews makes it clear that no man takes this honor on himself. He must be called as Aaron was.
Look at John the Baptist. He was authorized to baptize but not give the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8 shows the same with Phillip.He could baptize but he had to call the Twelve to give the gift of the Holy Ghost. And it all shows that all Christians didn't have this authority because we see the recent convert Simon trying to purchase that authority.
Unless you've been called as Aaron was, you have no authority.
So the Bible is lying when it says a man must be called as Aaron was?
And what is this royal priesthood and how do you get it if you deny you need to be called to it?
You can't be saved unrighteously by denying the need for salvation.
No one aside from hollie has denied the need for salvation.
The scripture is clear that you cannot take the authority of God by choosing it. You must be called as Aaron was. The sons of Rueben tried to demand it from Moses and were killed for it. If choice was all it took, they wouldn't have restricted authority to the sons of aaron
God throughout Scripture implores people to believe in Him thus giving us the free choice. God calls those who choose Him. He foreknows our free choice. Calvinists are not Christians; they are going to Hell. This is God's desire for us to freely receive Him just as Moses and Aaron did.
