I have been told that it is God's "revealed will" to save only the elect, while His "secret will", the entire world! Sounds like a "double-minded" God to me!

I wonder? It appears from what he says that he believes in a "works salvation", which he is trying to show from Scripture, which I completely reject as alien to the teachings of the Holy Bible.

In verse 44 we read that the Holy Spirit was given to these "who heard the Word (Gospel Message)". Where "heard" also includes "believed and repented". This can be seen from the further account by Peter in chapter 11, where he says: "And he told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house...

Totally agree! Without God taking the first step in the salvation of any sinner, it is impossible! Salvation, from start to finish is of God, Who is the "author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2) AMEN! Ad Dei gloriam!

You will of course note from the account in Acts 10, that God sent Peter to preach the Gospel of salvation to Cornelius, at a later time. His "good deeds" that "were acceptable" to God, were obviously not enough for him or his household to be saved by. If these were, then surely there would be...

it is also easy to misquote or take out of context!

No, neither of them do. It is not Biblical!

Are you advocating a works salvation?

Don't expect much sense of what the Bible actually does say, from those who call themselves "Reformed/Calvinists". They have a knack of ignoring the plain teachings of Scripture, and have their own theological reasoning which allows them to keep following their folly!

In Acts chapter 10 we read of the conversion of the Gentile, Cornelius, by the testimony of the Apostle Peter, who was commissioned by God to take the Gospel of his salvation, to his home. Reading Peter's words, we come across something very interesting: "So Peter opened his mouth and said...

I thought both the Clintons were criminals? Whitewater, document shredding, deleting of emails, etc...

very true! it is very sad though, as these are our brethren in the Lord Jesus, and they are content with sticking to their "theology", even when shown to be wrong from Scripture! Or, as some like John Piper, will go as far as to corrupt the meaning of Greek words, so that they FIT their...

Typical "Calvinistic" response! You cannot admit that you are wrong, cannot defend what you say from the Bible, and like the Jehovah's Witnesses, put up false arguments and excuses!

Why don't you simply admit that the position that you hold to, is totally inbibilical, as you cannot respond to what I have shown? Your own words show that what you believe to be true, is not so! As I have said, if what I have shown from the Bible to be error, then all you have to do is prove...

On the "Bondage of the Will", John Piper invents his own definition of the meaning of Greek, to suit his "theology", rather than say what it honestly does say! Remaking on Romans 3:19, "and the whole world may be held accountable to God", he says of the word "accountable": (The Bondage of the...

So a sinner is "born-again" BEFORE they "repent"?

so the WILL of fallen, sinful humans are not BOUND?

"FREE WILL", defined, "The power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion" (Oxford English Dictionary)

Deal with what I have said, and if you think I am wrong, then prove it! The fact that you write OBEY, shows that I can DISOBEY, which can only be possible, if I had a FREE WILL to do this!
