It is spot on. If they don't accept Christ they are not saved. = works (the first commandment).

Peter says of the born again throughout the world. “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:” Acts 10:34 (KJV 1900) “But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” Acts 10:35 (KJV 1900) Only...

= people save themselves when they respond. = False gospel.

Cornelius was obviously born again long before he heard Peter preach. The gospel saves us from the pitfalls of life. But you must already be saved in order to hear it in truth.

But you have an atonement based on salvation by works.

"Accepting Jesus" as a condition for salvation is a failed attempt to keep the first commandment. = Works. People believe in Jesus because God saves them. Any choice of the will results in salvation by works.

They were born again, which creates faith when the word is preached, a fruit of the Holy Spirit. You think works save people but God must save them before they can believe.

It doesn't say Christ died for them. This is why your gospel doesn't work in this situation. The gospel is an ANNOUNCEMENT (= Preaching) that whoever believes has eternal life. Most do not believe. It never says Christ died for unbelievers.

If the Spirit bears witness with your spirit you will know it. It causes you to believe in the true Christ.

You should know by experience if you are born again. It's Phenomenal happiness like nothing you ever experienced before.

As I explained. You have a universal atonement gospel and you are attacking it because it doesn't fit Limited Atonement. You assume that you have the true gospel which can be easily proven wrong to the unbiased reader.

We are to be of the one common faith. Not like today.

So your gospel says nothing but yes or no?

There is only one revealed truth. The rest is an attempt by the flesh to make sense of scripture.

The whole debate in a nutshell: How it works: Two different atonements = two different gospels. The gospel designed for universal atonement won't fit the limited atonement. Nor will the limited atonement gospel fit the universal atonement. Universal gospel = an offer for people to save...

You would be first to know if you did. It's an experience that makes understanding scripture possible. I had never been happier than when I experienced it.

It's the beginning of the salvation experience. If you ever experience the new birth, it's self-explanatory. The Spirit bears witness with your spirit and causes you to believe in the Christ associated with that experience.

Your idea of the gospel does not work so your problem is with it, not the Calvinists. Get the true gospel and limited atonement is not guilty of what you say it is.

If they respond before being born-again, it is a false Christ of their making. An idol they trust in to save them that cannot save.

You cannot discern the true Christ unless first born-again. This is the basis of the salvation experience. Faith happens as the Spirit bears witness with our spirit. It's an experience you cannot doubt happened to you unless you are not born-again. Then it's all theory and arm-chair conjecture.
