Featured OSAS made simple

I don't know that for a fact. Dort is based on universal atonement in points 4 & 5.

 

He says Calvin taught limited atonement. But I'm not convinced.

 

But we each need to read institutes to know for sure. I'm just saying evidence from Dort suggests he taught universal atonement.

 

I don't have a Facebook registration for obvious reasons.

 

But it's the victims of the bad teacher who are the evidence. This would include you or me. This is why I don't trust teachers. I'm sharing some precious truth but you only trample it under foot.

 

They don't teach universal atonement. But their points 4-5 teach Arminian style salvation by works, but under divine coercion. As though Calvin taught universal atonement. = they are logically inconsistant.

 

Points 4 & 5 of the 5 points of Calvinism.

 

They are not in line with Limited Atonement that saves intrinsically.

 

Possibly by teaching Limited Atonement. Points 4-5 are not logically consistent. Limited atonement saves the elect. Not perseverance of the saints (works).

 

It seems. I've never read Institutes. What I know is the 5 points are true to scripture up until points 4-5 which teaches salvation by works, albeit coerced works.

 

You are teaching works salvation. What I'm saying is that we are saved no matter what. Even our worst sins cannot prevent our salvation. Go ahead and gasp a few times, it's all right. Because God gives us a nature that hates sin and loves righteousness. So while you are trying to mend the flesh and trust in yourself, the born again are doing what they are designed to do. And that is to live holy lives.
