    Almost everything in Scripture refutes Calvinism, but Calvinists read Scripture through the light of determinism while refusing to examine their deterministic theology in the light of Scripture.

    There is no point in debating them because they prefer to blame everything on God. This has a deep hold on them because they suppose it releases them from any and all responsibility.

    God appears to have hardened most of their hearts so they can no longer turn and repent.

      Mike Jones perhaps a bit of rhetorical exaggeration to make clear the problem. I am not necessary referring to Calvin himself but especially the new 5-point Movement pioneered by RC Sproul. To quote a long-time observer, it’s the last stage of dying faith.

      It’s very understandable why the early Pentecostals to the man rejected Calvinism and why the movement developed from the Holiness revivalists.

      But if you think differently, let’s hear.

      Apparently, Paul didn’t assume that he had already obtained it:

      “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

      Thomas Henry Jr. technically if you are a determinist, you did not find this salvation you speak of. You were drawn by God and regenerated so you could believe. Therefore, if you were to be convinced that another way is more accurate, then it would thus be God’s will for you to turn from the faith you now hold to!! So don’t worry so much, if God predestines all the beginnings to the all the ends, you have no control whatsoever.

    What “T.U.L.I.P.” Does to Assurance of Salvation
    Few long-cherished doctrines of believers are more under attack today
    than the belief in the possibility of assurance of salvation.
    Can you know that you are saved?
    Most believers would probably answer that question in the affirmative—
    even if their lives might not be shining examples of Christian growth.
    But the teaching of T.U.L.I.P. would allow them no such assurance.

    Absolute assurance of salvation is impossible in Classical Five-Point Calvinism
    and Lordship Theology.
    Hard to believe…but demonstrably true.

    Understand why: Since works are an inevitable outcome of “true” salvation,
    one can only know he or she is saved by the presence of good works.
    But since no one is perfect (although some five-point Calvinists believe in “sinless perfection”), any assurance is at best imperfect as well.
    Therefore, you may think you believed in Jesus Christ, may think you had saving faith,
    but be sadly mistaken.

    To explain this, Calvinist theologians must create two kinds of faith,
    “spurious” faith (faith that does not save) and
    “genuine” faith (faith that results in works, and thus saves).

    Calvinism cannot be refuted with Scripture.
    Calvinism is affirmation of the sovereignty of God and the doctrines of grace.
    Calvinism is the result of the careful exegetical study of Scripture.

    Divine sovereign grace is the foundation of the Gospel and the Christian life.

    God raised up Martin Luther – the just shall live by faith – to begin a Reformation against the corruptions of Rome. The Reformers, like Bereans (Acts 17), studied Scripture and gave us the Five Solas in contrast to Rome’s Errors.
    When the followers of Arminius proposed doctrinal changes the Reformers, again, studied Scripture and responded to five particular errors of Arminian thought, referred to as TULIP.

    Criticism of Calvinism has no exegetical support. It comes from citing passages without regard for context, and without harmonizing all Scripture.
    Criticism of Calvinism is the private interpretations of men from their logic and human reason.

    Criticism of Calvinism is the arrogant, rebellious pride of Genesis 3 demanding control of our destiny and crying, “Hath God said?”

    Those who get the Gospel right are Calvinists – divine sovereign grace.

      The doctrines of grace call all be clearly demonstrated in the Gospel of John alone, not to mention all the other passages.

      Answer these questions biblically:

      What causes a person to believe?
      Why does one person respond but another turns away?
      What makes the difference.

      We see the answer in Saul on the road to Damascus, persecuting the saints, until God sovereignly stopped him in his tracks. We must be “born from above.”

      There is none righteous, no one seeks after God.

      Answer the questions biblically and you will be a Calvinist.

      You are biblically illiterate. No serious student of Scripture criticizes divine sovereign grace.

      Duane L Burgess the state of a persons heart determines who God draws. If its not fertile ground God wont draw it to himself.

      grace is the covenant. Grace is not a blessing. Grace and blessing are two different things.
      One is a covenant of Grace (moses = covenant of law).
      The other is a temporary pat on the back.

    Calvinism is but a step from atheism, why so many Calvinists take that next step.

      Troy Day did the higher biblical criticism come from Catholic Italy or Protestant Germany? Did Darwin come from Catholic France or Protestant England?

    Disproving the Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, and Perseverance of the saints is also disproving the scripture.

      John Rodel Ojeda SO Philip Williams James Philemon Bowers John Mushenhouse HOW is

      Unconditional election in the Scripture when we read of FREE WILL

      HOW is Limited atonement in Scripture when it says ALL

      Even Kyle Williams John Digsby Bobbi Goff Klein dont believe that JESUS died but for a few and that some ppl were created JUST to go to hell – what a nonsense in the words of Duane L Burgess How is this even possible at all in the BIBLE – the REFORMATION was namely built on FREE WILL thinking

      Troy Day election lol… God doesnt play favorites.
      God isnt stupid
      God elects or picks those who qualify, and qualifying is how free will plays out.

      there is no hell, thats just another false catholic doctrine.

      everything is built on free will or there can be no judgment of things people do.

      Philip Williams that is very basic history 101 for you 🙂 Philip Melanchthon established the Augsburg Confession of Philipp Melanchthon namely on free will Kyle Williams knows this well https://www.britannica.com/biography/Philipp-Melanchthon/The-Augsburg-Confession

      Troy Day there are also lengthy treatises written by the Reformed on free will. I’m thinking specifically the 17th century confessions.

      OH COME ON Kyle Williams dont play these silly games Melanchthon and Erasmus were ALL FREE will – Augustine was too at first as well but it worked better for the Catholic church that ppl dont have free will and obey the red beast of RCH – but this changed BTW reformed can NOT claim Augustine as post-mil cause he was a-mail – no-mile Nada. Nothing. Zero. Zip zilch, nada”? NO MIL at all John Digsby may know

      Troy Day then why God made you an elect or why did God choose you to be his chosen people? Is it because you did something that satisfies God? Or did God choose you because of His grace? Well, you believed that your free will is more powerful than God’s sovereignty.

      Then how will you apply the atonement that was made by Christ for us? He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins not only for our sins but the sins of all world 1John 2:2. Indeed that the atonement is for all then how about the application of the atonement?

      Philip Williams God’s secret will is to give you a choice to be saved Kyle Williams was saved by his own FREE Pentecostal will – he then changed against it but this does not change the fact that he was saved by his free will given him by God So did Link Hudson at a baptist VBS and Duane L Burgess as well in a free will Baptist church NONE is forced to get saved

      Troy Day you could free will it all you want but you have to have faith in Jesus. By grace through faith. Us ‘free will’ isn’t mentioned in anyone’s preaching of the gospel in the Bible?

      Troy Day so you became a child of God or saved according to your free will? By GRACE we are saved through faith… it is not the result of our free will but it is a gift of God so that no one can boast Eph.2;8-9.

    WHY AM I NOT A CALVINIST?

    REASON #1 Free will is not humanistic. It’s the Bible.

    REASON #2 Jesus gave us the Great Commission?

    REASON #3 Why reaching the lost if they were predestined to be lost?

    REASON #4 God so loved the world!

    REASON #5 People backslide by their own choices and free will

    REASON #6 Grace is Resistible and many have fallen from grace

    REASON #7 I am yet to meet a Christian saved NOT by his/her own personal free will choice!

    REASON #8 God’s choice not to act graciously toward others

      ya dont need any of this discussion or anybody elses’ conclusions.
      the pattern is ya sit in a chair, have bible in front of ya and seek God for the answer.
      Ya dont even need to ask, “God, is calvinism true”.

      what ya want is truth, in whatever form God gives it to ya, as much as you can stand. If What God Says to ya isnt what church says, then ya pray for certainty…. but the point is….. after 3 to 5 yrs of askin God for answers and wrestling with his truth, ya shouldnt be askin questions or have wishy washy half catholic doctrines that still arent settled.

      I never read about calvinism, and i never had to worry about it and yet, i have doctrine, that may include some aspects of what he said, theres a little truth in every lie, etc…

      but going around God to get answers isnt what God wants. That is doing things your own way.
