Consistent Calvinism II

The Evangel - the Gospel, is the means that God uses to save His people. We proclaim the gospel to all men everywhere, firstly because He commanded us to, and secondly because the normal means that God uses to call and save a man is through the proclamation of the gospel, by other men.

Romans 10:14–15

[14] How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? [15] And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (ESV)

 

I do not know who Mitch is (and the link only takes me to a blank post with no author), but it seems to me that someone got coal in their stocking yesterday. Just pat them on the head, give them a cookie, and they will go away.

 

Or , we love the Word (of God) so we can’t contain ourselves in spreading the gospel

Funny, my dear wife (born & raised) Dutch Reformed constantly punctuates her really important sentences with scripture when she wants to emphasize something important...she considers the word of God to be the ultimate clarifier and I believe she does it in a semi conscious state because she is convinced that scripture is the truth...and the truth sets you free.

 

That means that they are still digging it out of the ground and I should thank fat Donnie for preserving the family coal mining business.

 

JonC this thread is a prime example of what I have been talking about. Each and every post.

 

Off-topic :Notice the use of the singular they.

 

That's because I have no idea who Mitch is. Is Mitch a person, place, or thing? Is the personal pronoun used to describe a person or a group? Help!

 

It has to be something on my end. The first post I see is TCassidy's. No worries. I get the point your OP.

 

Matthew 28:18–20

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (ESV)

 

I think many of the so called former mission movements were founded by Calvinists!

 

"...it seems to me someone got coal in their stocking yesterday. Just pat them on the head, give them a cookie, and they will go away."

 

A few men who were/are both Calvinists and evangelists:

Jonathan Edwards, George Whitfield, Wiliam Carey, David Livingston, Henry Martyn, John Stott, Francis Schaeffer, D. James Kennedy, John Piper, Tim Keller. . .

 

It's Whitefield. You know, the fields are White unto harvest.

 

I am going to beat you with a dictionary and a thesaurus! LOL

 

Or the KKK is primarily made up of
‘WHITE’ Supporters.
