It seems since Mr. Toplady had nothing critical to say of the Calvinists, (but everyone else) he assumes only the Calvinists will be accepted of the Father. That's typical coming from Reformed man in that time period.

Ok, Z, you can explain that theory to the Lord when you meet Him.

I know that my Bible says "whosoever will let him come." What says your theory?

How many cities would be burned to the ground if the shoe was on the other foot? If the left lost someone by a sniper and a conservative made the remarks that Kimmel made.

That is my point with the Calvinists. No one was predestined to saved, they "whosoever will" were predestined to His plan to be conformed. How many times does the Scripture say, "whosoever will?"

Sounds like a guy making an early bid for '28. Trump has announced that he plans to build a $250M ballroom at the White House with his own money. Newsom is telling everyone that if he does that he will not leave the White House in '28.

What? No Calvinist wants to talk about their Gospel of limited atonement?

Yes, we agree on that. I've always said that anyone who has their faith in the finished work of Christ is saved. No matter what doctrine they believe. God never required correct doctrine for salvation, He requires faith in His Son. So the "saving yourself" thing should be off limits among...

Ken, you shouldn't be stating on these forums that we who chose to believe the Gospel saved our selves. You know that's not true, and it's an insult to the saving Grace of the Father.

That's some of that twisted Reformed Theology that God will judge!

This is so messed up, Ken. When God presented the Gospel to me through another man I believed and repented of my sins. I was granted God's righteousness through my faith, I had nothing to do with my salvation, it was a free gift. You are alleging that I saved myself by obeying God's command...

This would explain your attention to detail in exactly what the Scripture says and doesn't say. I've noticed you pointing out several times the Scripture is not necessarily saying what is believed it to be saying.

This is the way God intended for us to disagree, and in the disagreement let those who are confused have a way to understand.

Well, that was nice and I appreciate that. You believe what you believe, and I have shown you what I believe. As @JonC has so graciously reminded me, those posts are for those who don't know what to believe, let them consider what I've said.

Your thoughts are my thoughts, JonC, I have stated many times on these forums that I'm speaking to those who are not certain what to believe, it's for their benefit. God bless you, JonC, for reminding of that fact!

If you read all those predestination verses in this light, you will see what I'm talking about.

God, before the foundation of the world decided that man would be saved by Grace through faith in the finished work of His Son. That was His plan, and the predestination of all men who will believe. You see, Z, God did not predestinate who would be saved, but how we would be saved.

God has chosen His plan of redemption for all who will be saved. "For God so loved the world that He gave..." That's the predestination, His plan of how man will be conformed to the image of Christ. Not a predestination of who will be saved.

LoL, that's called being zealous for the Word of God, you can't help it, JonC, it's like a hot iron that has branded you in the heart.

It's just a cycle of contradictions with TULIP, but they refuse to acknowledge it. I'm at the point of shaking the dust from my feet with this absurdity.
