A "Hyper-calvinist" evangelizing St. Augustine.

[Herald]

My final comment on this. As I have asserted all along repentance, faith, regeneration are 100% the work of God. There are false professors of faith out there. The apostle John tells about them and Judas was a prime example. He says that they went out from us because they were not of us. If you read and believe all of the Gospel of John then you cannot deny the statement below.

He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

Quite right. There are false professors galore, but that does not change the fact that we are to preach the Gospel to all who will hear. Church discipline exists to deal with false professors. Even then some false professors will deceive until the very end when the Lord will finally separate the sheep from the goats.

I would appreciate your prayers. I'm in St. Augustine, Florida for a few days. We're prayerfully considering a move here for me to do the work of an evangelist. I arrived in time for the Wednesday night service at Amazing Grace Baptist Church and met with the pastor this morning. I spent the day getting to know the city better and was able to distribute a few tracts and share the Gospel with a couple of people that I hope to follow up on tomorrow. I am asking the Lord to provide for me to do this full time, but am also looking for "regular" employment. Yes, I am called a Hyper-calvinist by many, but I believe the gospel is to be preached to everyone and that God commands all men to repent.

Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord, now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

when you say God commands all men to repent, do you mean all mankind? all humanity ?

I will let SM answer for himself, but if I may quote the verse in context:

Acts 17:30 "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent,"

All men everywhere. That does not mean all men will or all man can. But that does not change the command to preach the Gospel. Salvation belongs to the Lord. He has chosen the means by which to deliver the good news of salvation and we are to faithful to proclaim it. We trust God for the results.

So where do you see that as a command to preach the gospel
