Proof Calvinism is the only true doctrine

Yeah, me, too.
I finally did after much further study...but it took a long time.

I was a "4-pointer" for over 13 years.

 

The word of God falls apart when trying to answer those scenarios?

Psalms 58:3.
Romans 3:23.
Romans 3:10-12.
Ecclesiastes 7:20.

The answers are right on the pages.

 

I agree.

Matthew 1:21.
John 10:27-29.
John 17:2.

I agree.

Romans 1:17.
Romans 4:1-8.
Galatians 3:11.
Hebrews 10:38.

 

My replies in green within the body of your quote.

" And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks." ( Acts of the Apostles 9:5 ).

" Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." ( 2 Timothy 2:15 ).

 

Perseverance of the Saints:

" All who are chosen by God ( Psalms 65:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 ), redeemed by Christ ( Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14 ), and given faith by the Spirit ( Romans 10:17, Ephesians 2:8 ) are eternally saved ( John 3:16, John 3:36, John 5:24, John 6:39, John 10:28-29 ). They are kept in faith by the power of Almighty God ( 1 Peter 1:5 ) and thus persevere to the end ( Matthew 24:13 )."

Perseverance in the faith is the evidence of salvation... not an effort that results in eternal life, MB.

My own worthless efforts don't save me... all my works are as filthy rags ( Isaiah 64:6 ).
It is His mercy alone that I'm relying on ( Titus 3:5-6 ).
Even the privilege of belief, which was given to me ( Philippians 1:29 ), is a direct result of God's grace.

Christ's efforts on the cross are the only thing worth mentioning, and it is His suffering, dying and being raised again that has any merit in God's eyes.

 

I post what I understand from God's word, MB...not from the teachings of John Calvin.

Persevering is believing without fail, over the entire course of one's life, in Christ and His finished work on the cross for the sinner.
Faith...
The opposite of "falling away".

That's man's definition of perseverance.

God's definition is His children...
" For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith." ( 1 John 5:4 ).

Their faith in their Saviour and His finished work on the cross for them.

But it is even better defined in their Saviour Himself, who went to the cross and suffered and died for them.
He could have come down off that cross, but He didn't.

He persevered in His work for them.

 

I don't read them, and never had any use for anything they ever said or taught, if it didn't agree with Scripture.

What the Lord's apostles said, now that is far different.
That is God's word.

Who?
Is he is the Bible?

You do know that he teaches "Lordship Salvation", don't you?
Like many men, he teaches that perseverance is a requirement, not an evidence.

In other words, he says that people have to persevere to end up being saved...
Instead of perseverance in the faith being a product of being saved.

One is something a man has to do, in and of himself.
The other is something that occurs by necessity, and it is a result of God's work in the believer through the Holy Ghost.


Believers persevere because they are saved, not to gain salvation.

 

I'm going to turn this back over to @atpollard.
I believe you were asking him questions?

I bid you a good evening, sir.

 

You got it backwards......AGAIN.

Matthew 10:22

You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

 

Does that mean that no infants have died since the 1500’s or that Calvinism no longer exists?

I am confused about what you are trying to say.

Just for the record, how does MY dead son prove that people are capable of choosing God without the the Father first drawing them (refuting Total Inability)? How does his death prove that God chooses to predestine people for salvation because God knows that they will eventually say yes (refuting Unconditional Election)? How does the death of a baby prove that Jesus was punished for the sins of people that God will ultimately punish in Hell for those same sins (demanding double payment and refuting Limited Atonement)? How does an abortion prove that people have the power to resist the will of God in a way that Jonah and Moses never could (refuting Irresistible Grace)? How does any death indicate that scripture told a half truth and some will slip from between the hands of the Father and the Son from salvation into damnation (refuting Perseverance of the Saints)?

I look forward to your explanation.

 

And yet, here I am.
