Once again, our foremost mind-reader demonstrates his psychic powers. You would think with this vast intellectual power, his crystal ball would tell him something about the topic. But alas...Van has short-term memory loss. He tends to forget even within posting the same drivel 14 minutes beforehand.
1) Human witnesses acting as ambassadors of Christ, till ground, plant, water and these actions are used by God to increase the harvest. Did I say ambassadors are farmers or that ambassadors aid in the harvest as laborers?
2) 2Pe 3:11-12
Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!
"Holy conduct and godliness includes diligent evangelism, and therefore "hastens the coming of the day of God. Diligent evangelism includes tilling the ground, planting and watering. The coming day of God refers to the Second Coming at the close of the age.
3) What the Exhaustive Determinists deny is that evangelism with more laborers will result in more harvest, that God uses His witnesses rather than their made up supernatural tractor beam called "irresistible grace." And they will cite mistranslations to support falsehood such as names being written in the Lamb's book of life before rather than since the creation.
4) Do the actions of effective witnesses cause people to be saved? Nope
If our contribution to leading a person to Christ is effective did we "win' or gain" an eternal reward? Hypothetically.
Are we as servants of Christ supposed to try? You bet. We do not know if our rewards will burn up or be cause for us to enter heaven "abundantly."
