Featured The Calvinist Gospel

Another solid link Alan,thanks for posting this pdf.

 

All of the elect will be saved...God is not willing that any of the elect will perish2pet.3:9.
God has ordained the ways and means rom10:1-17

 

Why would 2 Peter read as it does in versions like the KJV, "long-suffering toward us"? It is rather a strange thing that Peter would say that God is not willing that any of the elect not perish, as though this were even possible, according to some. This reading is very unsound! However, the reading "εἰς ὑμᾶς" = "towards YOU", including the "mockers" of verse of verse 3, is far better attested in the textual evidence! So, what the Bible really says here, is that God is not willing that ANY SINNER were to perish, but that they should repent and believe the Gospel and get saved! As God has been saying all along, "Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?" (Ezekiel 18:23), which has been limited by the likes of the Reformed/Calvinists, who suppose they know more than God!

 

No way of knowing but doubtful if anyone looked up all those scripture verses. Posting references after stating your premise is the worst possible way to make your point since all scripture has context to consider. It is a waste of time if you ask me. God has chosen the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe, he says, Posting scripture references is not the way to go.

 

The long suffering of God results in salvation.as per vs.15
The whole chapter contrasts the ungodly scoffers with elect persons.
All of those elected will be saved, and obviously at the time Peter wrote not all of the elect were born as of yet.
Reformed Calvinists do not claim to know more than God,which is a profane suggestion on your part.They believe God and love His grace and do not wrest Paul's writing as the scoffers do in vs16.
These persons are described as both unstable, and unlearned....to wrest scripture is to take it out and twist in as on a torture rack.
We see that often on message boards when people cannot seem to follow the we, the us, to upward, both here and in Roman's 5.
By the way God is very willing that multitudes perish, see mt7:21-24.
The saints in Rev6 were assured the ungodly will certainly be punished for putting to death believers.

 

Repentance is a synonym for faith


Joy unspeakable full of glory

 

Lets look at another false copy and paste assertion.

God "creates" true faith in me. This was claimed to be taught by Matthew 16:15-17. But all that passages says is God reveals spiritual truths. But the passage does not say we are compelled by irresistible grace to believe fully in those revealed truths.

Next, John 3:5 is referenced. But all this verse says is we but be born anew (of Spirit) to enter the kingdom of God. Having our faith created within us by irresistible grace is no where to be found. Thus once again a non-germane reference.

Next Acts 16:14 is referenced. Here the vague phrase "opened her heart" is claimed to mean "compelled by irresistible grace." Eisegesis front and center. All the phrase actually means is the truth was presented in such a way she could understand it, thus she was open to accepting it. Nowhere does it say her faith was created within her by irresistible grace.

Old confessions, creeds and catechisms rarely stand up to modern study.

 

no!

 

This is a doctrinal statement. Where is the gospel [glad tidings] there that you preach to the world?

 

Um, the Gospel isn't found in John 3:16? Isn't that like the go to Gospel verse?

 

You may not be saved!


Joy unspeakable full of glory

 

and you think that you know more than God Incarnate, the Lord Jesus Christ!!! It is He who says, "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT, and BELIEVE the gospel" (Mark 1:15). And, again Jesus says, "And that repentance for remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem" (Luke 24:47)

And don't be so rude and pomopus, in saying that I might not be saved!!! WHO do you think you are to question my salvation? IF you are a believer, you are a DISGRACE to the Body of Jesus Christ!!!

 

He can't "choose".

 

Not technically. John 3:16 only makes sense in the light of passages like 1Corinthians 15:1-4.
God "giving" the Son does not say that the Son would die an atoning death for sins and does not say he will rise again and does not say how to appropriate the benefits of that act.
Of course John 3:16 is about the gospel, but it doesn't spell out the gospel like other passages do.
We only understand John 3:16 to be about the gospel because of those other passages.

 

Again, repentance means different things in different dispensations.

Agreed about Sai. Too many here are so doctrinally correct that they'll damn a brother to hell.

 

The point George is that Barry was dishonest about the other post. It definitely contained the Gospel and was another lame attempt at Anti-Calvinists to try to paint us in a bad light by misrepresenting our position. It is all you have.
