Use Peter's sermon at Pentecost as an example of how to preach the gospel. It contains the gospel of the kingdom in its most developed state. Not a chirp about what you think it should be.

Where do you find anyone in the NT preaching the gospel your way?

If you do not believe in Limited Atonement, you believe in Free Will and contradict all that Luther taught on the matter.

The Doctrine of Limited Atonement (8): Scriptural Proofs - Heidelberg Seminary

Universal Atonement = salvation through obedience = works.

Many verses prove it. Jesus did not pray for the world, but only those the Father gave to him (to save). God hardened the Pharisee's hearts so they could not believe and be saved. He shed His blood for many. This cancels out universalism. Isaiah says He died for many. He purchased the church...

If Jesus died for all and all are not saved, His death didn't save anyone. So the Universalists turn the gospel into law and grace into works, saying people must save themselves through obedience. But Limited Atonement means Christ actually saved the elect by paying for their sins on the cross...

Some go about attacking Limited Atonement but they don't spell out how people are saved when universal atonement doesn't save one soul. So, how are people saved?

You are stopping your ears to some of the greatest truths in the bible. Jesus is Israel in the NT. He even says He has a people called after His name. Don't miss out on this. Study it

How is what I say not directly related? Also, why the insults? If you had something to say, you wouldn't need to insult people.

Have you learned that Jesus is Israel revealed in the NT? And that the Church, His body, is also Israel? The disenfranchised Jews are in fact gentiles with only Jewish customs and a false Judaism?

All of the gentile converts became members of Israel, even today. So what's your beef?

The gospel is not offered. It is preached (announced). Announcing that whoever believes is saved.

But only to the born-again. The rest are without excuse and his presence in creation only condemns them.

True, but we rob him of his glory when we think we chose salvation.

This is all human faith. The kind that chooses to believe based on how we perceive something. Catholics and others use human faith to a great extent to market their brand of salvation. Biblical faith is a supernatural fruit of the Holy Spirit and comes from experiencing the witness of the...

“Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” John 4:22 (KJV 1900) Many became Jews in OT times, and we were grafted into Israel as believers in Christ. “Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they...
