Gene Cunningham presented “Election, Predestination, and the Plan of God: The Biblical Case Against Calvinism, Lordship Salvation, and Replacement Theology” at the annual conference in Prescott, Arizona, September 7th through 9th. Gene’s teaching refutes Calvinism (Romans 9), Lordship Salvation (Romans 10), and Replacement Theology (Romans 11).
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those
who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also
predestined, to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the
firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called;
whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”
Romans 8:28–30

The Word Working In You #5
Deliverance is an ongoing work. Rut 4:8-17 out of sorrow and suffering is blessing. The Thessalonians are ascribed the strongest Hebrew word for faith "Qawah" (1Th 1:9). (). The tribulation is referred to as "wrath to come" -- wrath of man Satan, and God. 2 days to be distinguished: (1) "Day of Christ" for believers (1Th 2:19-20, 1Th 3:13 - deliverance, rejoicing, resurrection, joyous) - the rapture; The dead in Christ rise first (1Th 4:13-18; 2Co 5:8). We meet them in the air; (2) The "Day of the Lord" for unbelievers (1Th 5:1-3 gloom, fear, judgment); "comes as a thief in the night" (1Th 5:2-4). "Whether we wake or sleep" - faithful and carnal believers live forever with Him (1Th 5:10).

From Series: "1st Thessalonians - The Word Working in You - Uniontown PA 2007"
The Word Working in You' is a study in 1st Thessalonians recorded at Uniontown PA on 19-20 October 2007. The primary focus of the Paul's epistles to the Thessalonians written A.D. 50-51 is Christian living in light of eternity which results in balance. The 'bookends' of 1Th 1:3 and 1Th 5:8 reveal the book's theme: the well-balanced Christian life. The book also teaches that God's Word works through faith. Interestingly this epistle is closely related in content to the Old Testament book of Ruth which provides a perfect biblical illustration of the practical truths of this book.
