    1) God is immutable, the same yesterday, today and forever. Do not waste my time with sophomoric argumentation. God's character and attributes do not change, when God says if you repent, I will relent, that is not a violation of His attribute of immutability.

    2) God is sovereign as used in scripture. And yes, some Calvinists agree with the definition - "God causes or allows whatsoever comes to pass."

    3) Everything God declares will happen will happen. There are no exceptions given in scripture.

    a) Israel did take possession of the promised land.
    b) God said he would overthrow Nineveh due to their wickedness. When they repented, God relented.
    c) Since God will turn from His adverse action if wicked behavior ends, the behavior is immutable. ​

    4) Four of the five points of the TULIP as unbiblical and false, the "TULI." Once saved, always saved is valid, no one can lose salvation, only the possible rewards diligent ministry might bring.

    5) Only God has the power to relocate a person from being "in Adam" (in the realm of darkness) into the kingdom of His believed Son. This is not straddling a line, but presenting biblical truth. Col. 1:13

    6) We operate within the purview allowed by God, thus we have limited free will. Many people accept the doctrine that if a person has been hardened, they no longer have the capacity to choose Christ.

    7) Limited Free Will is biblical doctrine, we can make the choice of life or death provided we are allowed to do so with an unhardened heart and exposure to God's revelation of His gospel.
