    Interesting that the gospel to you would be bogus!

    But what if "Calvie" was right? What does this make you?

    do you think that when we witness to the unsaved, and they show an interest in getting saved, that before they can get saved, they must believe in the Holy Trinity, or even in the Deity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit?

    What if he was right along with Luther and the Reformers about the absence of free will in salvation?

    There is "free will", but not in the absolute sense many ascribe it as being!

    Free to do what was desired, but sin natures are limited in what can and is desired!

    Did Peter tell the 3000 who were "cut to the heart" in Acts 2, this? Did Peter tell Cornelius this in chapter 10? or Ananias to Paul in chapter 9?

    NO sinner can EVER repent and believe in and of themselves. The Holy Spirit must first "convict" them, and only then...

    No that is not what I said at all. What I said was, those verses have nothing o do with the topic we are actually discussing. But since you want to force the issue, the verses are clearly talking about God not taking one nation over another. All people groups will be included in the Kingdom. It has nothing to do with individuals in those two verses.

    Can a sinner be saved who does not call Jesus their Lord and God then?
