Well there is no Scripture in your post #112 - not a word of it except what I provided and you quoted me without answering. You have not given your understanding of John 6:37 or any other text.

James 4:2. 'Yet you do not have because you do not ask God.' Most certainly we are to ask with faith (Mark 11:24 etc.), but pretending that we have already received something we haven't is simply nonsense, or worse yet, the Word Faith fallacy.

I supplied Scripture in the very post you have referenced, post #87. I also supplied Scripture in my posts #16, 19, 26, 29, 40, 51 & 75. Well in that case you don't understand Calvinism. Calvinists, including Calvin himself, have always called upon, and pleaded with, sinners to repent and...

Acts 1:11. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." It is the same Jesus who will return, not a spirit version; the One who said, "Behold My hands and feet, that...

'We should not think that in Calvin's Geneva the city tried, in a merely negative way, to stop its citizens behaving immorally. It also took strong, positive measures to improve the social, economic, and cultural life of the city. For instance, the authorities created an outstanding system of...

2 Timothy 2:2. 'And the things you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.' That's four generations of teachers: Paul, Timothy, the 'faithful men' and the 'others.'

There really is no point in replying to you, though it would be easy to respond in just the same folish, ignorant and insulting fashion. It is clear that you and @Ben1445 have no intention of having an intelligent and courteous discussion on the matter. I'm out of here.

What am I supposed to say to this? There is no Scripture, no attempt to answer anything that I have posted. No understanding of Calvinism. I really don't think you have a clue what Calvinism actually is 'All will not be saved. But God is rich in mercy.' Amen! The miracle is that one single...

But this really is the point; Paul did teach Calvinism, and so did the Lord Jesus. Romans 8:28-30. 'And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed into the...

:rolleyes: This is what is known in football (soccer) terms as "playing the man and not the ball." As I have pointed out many times before, Calvin was not the propagator of Calvinism. That was the Apostle Paul. But while Calvin was still in short pants, William Tyndale wrote: 'By grace we...

Yum! I still can't find one that looks like a dodecahedron though ;)

Having read many of his sermons, and having read two biographies, I can assure you and anyone else reading absolutely that Spurgeon did not change his theological views in any way in the last years of his life.

For those who may be interested, our Pastor, Lee Emerson retired from the Pastorate of my church after 20 years of great service. At the same time, Jonathan Hughes and Iain Randall were appointed joint pastors..

I have huge respect for Charles Spurgeon, who was of course, a 5 point Calvinist and very often spoke in favour of Calvinism (quotes available on request). However, the Bible often uses 'all' in the sense of 'all sorts of.' I quoted one example above; I can trawl through the Bible to find more...

You may be right, though I see nothing in the link you posted to suggest that you are. You do not attribute the quote. I will only say that as a student of Particular Baptist church history I have found nothing to suggest that the term existed before the 1960s. The old 'Strict and Particular...

People might like to listen to these two talks by Geoff Thomas on the subject of Effectual Atonement. Geoff was pastor of Alfred Place Baptist church in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth for exactly 50 years. He is credited, along with Walter Chantry, with coining the phrase 'Reformed Baptist' when...

Now come on! Tell me where I have said that or anything approaching it. 'Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' The problem with trying to discuss, not just with you, but with several others as well, is that you have conjured up a hobgoblin of Calvinism in your minds...

Yep! People who don't believe in God's sovereign grace in salvation should never pray for their loved ones to be saved. God stands by and watches, but it's all up to them.

Not only them but many, many Calvinists (including me :D) and, of course, Scripture itself. 'Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved' (Acts 2:21; Romans 10:13; Joel 2:32). The gate of heaven is wide open: "And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him who hears say, 'Come!'...

I have posted this before, but perhaps some people didn't read it. 1 Tim. 6:10, KJV. 'For the love of money is the root of all evil.' 1 Tim. 6:10, NKJV (and most other versions). 'For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.' The Greek simply says 'all.' That is why the NKJV places...
