    Do you really believe that? For someone who was "never a Calvinist," I did a pretty good job using every Calvinist proof-text possible. That's exactly like how Leighton Flowers is accused by James White of never being a Calvinist.

    Calvinism traditionally teaches that if you live in willful, unrepentant sin, it's a sign that you were never among God's elect in the first place. This should cause John MacArthur concern, and I mean this in all sincerity.

    2 Peter 1:10
    Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,

    I posted this to the forum several weeks ago:

    Why quarrel with what God has sovereignly decreed?

    Romans 9:20
    But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”

    I would not accuse John MacArthur of hypocrisy and bearing false witness unless I was able to demonstrate, with evidence, that it's true, which I've already done on this forum. (John 7:24)

    Repent for what? Of making a lot of money? Of disagreeing with you (better yet, you disagree with him: I doubt he even knows who you are)

    I’ve never known of him being deceitful like you.

    Planks and splinters and eyes and all that.

    Thanks for the conversation

    peace to you

    We'll have to wait and see what happens when the SEC finishes their investigation of the MacArthur family. I have no reason to feign concern over his salvation, especially since I don't particularly like the man.

    Did you even watch the video?



    Leighton Flowers proves very definitely the deceitfulness of John MacArthur in accusing Arminius and Finney of Pelagianism.

    No, since you’ve proven yourself to be deceitful, I can’t trust anything you post.

    thanks for the conversation.

    peace to you

    This is a personal attack without any supportive evidence. Why not hear John MacArthur, in his own words, falsely accuse others of Pelagianism? Are you afraid of what you might hear? Matthew 11:15

    Wouldn't that be another false witness?

    Not if it is an attack on free will. Can you go a day without sinning? Free will says you can.

    That's a caricature of what non-Calvinists believe, and is thus bearing false witness.

    How can it be a false witness against your neighbor? That's how the Law defines "false witness". Get your definitions straight.

    In older times, "bearing false witness", that is, lying about another person or entity, was severely-punishable, & not just among the Israelis.

    In Roman times, to "bear record" was equivalent to signing an affidavit today. If one bore false record, it could mean capital punishment! John knew this, & he also knew it was a DELIBERATE SIN as well. Thus, when he BORE RECORD of Jesus' ministry, he was affirming he was writing the truth, on pain of punishment by both God & men if he were writing lies.

    That's all I hafta say on this matter.

    Shall we assume you are Leighton Flowers?
    Deception has been your MO.

    No...Leighton at least stands his ground.He posted on here for years, and was often corrected.He did not welcome truth and is close to be a flat out open theist.
    This poster is more like Jesse Morrel who embraces several errors similtaneously.

    Although I agree that non-Calvinists are deceitfully framed as Pelagians by unscripturally theologically redefining personal faith as a work, the charge that they're inching hell-ward for it denies the church-age doctrine of eternal security.
    They are brothers, and they will die in some unrepentant sins, just like you will, and just like I will, sadly, and we will all (the born again) still awake in heaven.

    Where is "personal" (man-made) faith described in the Bible, George?

    Luk_8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
    Rom_1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
    1Co_2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
    1Co_15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
    1Co_15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
    2Co_1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
    2Co_10:15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
    Eph_1:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
    Php_2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
    Col_1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
    Col_2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
    1Th_1:8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
    1Th_3:2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
    1Th_3:5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
    1Th_3:6 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
    1Th_3:7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
    1Th_3:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
    2Th_1:3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
    Jas_1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
    1Pe_1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
    1Pe_1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
    1Pe_1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
    2Pe_1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
    Mat_9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
    Mat_15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
    Mar_5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
    Mar_10:52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
    Luk_7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
    Luk_8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
    Luk_17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
    Luk_18:42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
    Luk_22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
