Featured Successful Evangelism

I think the bigger question is if they see the gospel as God's means of drawing then does that mean everyone who hears the gospel will get saved. If I remember correctly (and I do) they hold to the idea that everyone God draws will be saved.

*Note-I fully believe that God does the drawing with the gospel.

 

Because God chose the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.[1 Corinthians 1:21]

Because those who believe the gospel of their salvation are saved.[Ephesians 1:13]

Because faith comes from hearing the message concerning the Christ.[Romans 10:17]

Because we are commanded to preach the gospel to all ppl.[Mark 16:15]

We evangelize because God has commanded us to do so, seeing it is how the elect of God are saved.

No evangelization = no salvation.

 

In the post of mine that you replied to I quoted you saying "he was wrong in so much."

Obviously not. Don't be silly.

Just what is your complaint about Calvin's view as to the authority of the magistrate? He followed Romans 13. Got a problem with that?

It's a Presbyterian document. Within it there are some features that you I would object to. But, just like John Calvin and his works --I would agree with much of it. I would not say it was wrong in so much.

Nothing personal. I am just addressing your errors about the man.

You have made remarks elsewhere that show some uninformed views about him. Your opinion about The Institutes Of The Christian Religion -- your misunderstanding about not caring about the spiritual welfare of other nations just France. Things like that.

You have the habit of saying that kind of thing so often it's become second nature to you --old nature. Knock it off.

 

That you are caught in a contradiction. You say that Calvin was "wrong in so much" yet the WCF reflects much of what Calvin taught. Be consistent. If you think he was wrong on so much then the WCF was wrong on so much.

Was Hodge wrong on so much? How about Warfield and Machen?

The word much means a lot. It's hard to quantify the word. There is no fixed percentage. But from what you have said it clearly means a considerable amount.

I am largely in agreement with more OPC doctrine than that promoted by most Baptists --including much of the SBC.

Yes, really. You are misinformed on Calvin and you seem to harbor an animus toward him.

Nothing truthful and honest to offer?

 

What I clearly stated --you are caught in a contradiction. In other words, you are wrong.

I guess in your world that might pass for humor.

Yes, that's what you offer --nothing of substance.

But getting back to the theme of this thread I will submit that John Calvin was greatly used of the Lord as an
Evangelist.

 

What happened to Evan? Hope he is okay.
