A gift . . .

What part of obedient  means one doesn't follow Jesus's commands?

just making sure what we are being obedient to.  There's been a lot of that going around lately.

aren’t we free from following the Ten Commandments?

We are free from the legal obligation to follow them, not free from the obligation of love.

 

One thing we can be sure of, the Holy Spirit will never direct us to breack the ten commandments.

Any leading that way is not from God.

If your name is not written in the Lamb's book..it is because of the choices you made. Nothing fairer than that

Yes, when we absolutely don't want to be dead in trespasses and sins one second longer we are ripe for God to make us alive in Him.

Eph 2:1-3  And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,  (2)  in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,  (3)  among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

With regard to our salvation all of us have the right to a fair trial on Judgment Day.

The benefits of pardon, righteousness, grace and glory are demanded by Christ as the Advocate for those He has redeemed by the shedding of His blood and His sacrificial death.

The charges and accusations of Satan the Adversary against the Redeemed of God with regard to their unworthiness for salvation are dismissed. 

 The "old man of sin" as Paul called it, may be called by the Adversary as evidence of a persons unworthiness for salvation, but if this has been "put off" so as to no longer be alive or functioning unrestrained, then this so-called evidence cannot be used against any of the Redeemed who have put on the "new man in Christ."

If God has sovereignly predetermined who will come to faith in Him by hearing His Word, is it possible for those whom He hasn't chosen to come to faith by hearing His Word to get a fair trial on Judgment Day? 

Those who have accepted His gift, and turned to Christ. Not everyone who appears to follow Christ is true, some still hold on to hidden sin or iniquity....

Matthew 23:28

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

 

Luke 13:26-28

²⁶ Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

²⁷ But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

²⁸ There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out

Thanks for your comment, Hobie.

My motive in posting this thread was to highlight the problem of arbitary election whereby the only reason a person is unsaved is because God never chose them to be, in which case their trial on Judgment Day would hardly seem fair.

God knows ahead of time who are His and those who are not, but to build it into 'election' just goes to far. Foreknowledge is not forcible choice, its just that, 'foreknowledge', God knows all.
