@tgillspy2 How do u figure? Calvinism is Biblical Christianity! Historically John Calvin strived to reform the Geneva Church to that which was in the book of Acts!
Most of everything in today's American evangelicalism is not even in the Bible or in church history! The church today is so far outside its historical roots!
NO WHERE DOES THE BIBLE TEACH MAKE A CHOICE, GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS!
@NB3K Calvinism is heretical.Those who follow Jesus would not do what John calvin has done.Read John chapter 3 KJV.The wicked works of calvin must be called into question and be made manifest for what they are. For he is was a hireling and a false teacher. if it wasn't for Gods grace, you reform people would continue to do what he done and persecute people to death.Paul's testimony is a mighty rebuke to followers of this geneva tyrant.
@tgillspy2 Sorry buddy, but I will continue in the way of the Protestant Reformers of the 16th century! Both Martin Luther & John Calvin where God's servants that brought back to the minds of men what Rome buried and hid!
The Gospel of God's FREE GRACE! Free meaning God gives to whom he freely chooses to give it to. And God hardens and punishes whom He please to punish! In order of Grace to be Grace, it cannot be caused outside of the good pleasure and will of God! Man cannot demand it!
@tgillspy2 It would be a wise thing to actually read the works of John Calvin and also do a church history on his work at Geneva! He simply exposited scripture unlike this man in this video!
You know nothing of Calvin and his ministry! You just repeat what you hear people say! Your like a parrot repeating what others say! Calvin was the CENTRAL Protestant Reformer during the 16th century! Your not even on the same level as he was. He preached to the WORLD! KINGS and Rulers what have u done?
@NB3K You are indoctrinated.He was a murderous swine and false teacher.Calvin murdered people.Do you have any integrity at all........? ?No - because you are a calvinist....!
@tgillspy2 indoctrinated??? Yes I am! I have been brainwashed by the power of the Word of God! Paul murdered people too! King David for the expressed purpose to fulfill his lust murdered too! Who do u think u are? Are u saying that u are above others? Are u saying that ur sins do not deserve the wrath of God?
It would be a great help to u to actually read the Bible!
From all of ur posts, all u have done is shown ur ignorance to the facts of history and Scripture!
@tgillspy2 You know nothing of the Grace of God in the Salvation of men! My Gospel is the same as Calvin's & Luther's & Augustine's & Paul's & Peter's & Jesus & The Prophets & Moses!
In ur mind in order for God to be just, God must give everyone a fair and equal chance at becoming partakers of the kingdom of God!
THAT IS SOPHISTRY! EVERY MAN IS ALREADY CONDEMNED BEFORE GOD! GOD IS THE ONE WHO HAS THE LIBERTY TO SAVE ANYONE!
@tgillspy2 How many of Calvin's sermons have you read? I am willing to bet none! And you are calling me the fool! HAHA!!! U sit their a judge a man that u know nothing about!
Just like u have been judging me! U know only what the gainsayers say! But u know nothing of what these giants of the faith proclaimed!
If u only would take the time and read u will find out that Calvin never taught what u say he did! U will find that Calvin was a BIBLICAL PREACHER!
False brethen = lordship salvation people, repent of ur sins to be saved/turn from sins to be saved people, make Jesus Lord of your life people etc. they are not saved and are going straight to hell
@kentx333 no it is believing on the Lord Jesus Christ that will save one from their sins. Repentance is turning and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ! It is not a choice, it is not giving your heart to Jesus, IT IS BELIEVING! Faith is a gift of God's grace and nothing from man!
if you can answer that then answer what does Saul mean by Eph 2:8,9 when he states ot by works what is the gist of faith comparing Sauls conversion and Abrahams justification? what is the gist of REAL faith??
James 2:21 Abrahams justification brought about by his willingness to sacrifice his son which he obeyed Gods asking him to do and Sauls conversion on the road to damascus. if Romans 10:9,10 were truth on its own why wasnt Saul saved in front of Jesus? why did Jesus ask him to go and seek out Ananias? i mean there was the tongues of flame wasnt there? Saul obviously believed Jesus as he waited in damascus for Ananias for 3 days so why did saul need Ananias if Romans 10:9:10 is truth on its own?
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
That was talking about people trusting their works to get them to heaven rather then believing on (not just in) the Lord's work on the cross to save them.
Also, beware of the false teachers that teach the false Gospel and false Jesus of the 'once saved always saved' heresy Movement popularized John Calvin the murderer. These same false teachers also teach the new heresy that Christians will be 'raptured' BEFORE the Great Tribulation Period begins, even though Jesus Himself said that there would be a great falling away and the man of perdition would be revealed FIRST. Do the first commandment so that you can accomplish the second one.
1Pe 3:21 ¶ The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James wrote that epistle to people who were already saved.
faith whether alive or dead is still faith. dead faith in Jesus can still get a person saved as well as alive faith. we are saved by grace through faith(whether alive or dead)
James was telling people who had already been saved from their sins (Eph 2:8) what they must do to be saved from the coming wrath on judgment day. True faith is a faith that has works as part of its definition. If we do not bear fruit we are cut down and thrown into the fire.
I believe that faith takes Divine enablement... THIS man believes in works salvation....he believes that faith is a work that must be excercised of free-will....And i ask you this...If you are in the position of faith being up to the individual choice and you are saved by faith...what about when they choose not to excercise saving faith(if you can call it that) would they not loose theyre salvation!?...consistency is not high on your demands I see....once again, MORE micky mouse preaching.
Revelation 1:18. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 9:6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Hosea 13: 14. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
"If...then" its amazing how many of those statements that he leaves out. Most of the "if...then" statements are refering to the perseverance of the saints...read Hebrews. And he is an arminian! dont let him fool you!
Just so you know YOU ARE AN ARMINIAN! you just happen to believe that you cannot lose salvation, so you are a 4 point arminian. You still preach a works/conditioned on man false gospel. Galatians 1:6-9...
LOL! This man is sooooo lost it is pathetic. He is preaching against works, and at 45 mins. mark on, he condemns people that believe man by nature is totally depraved. Well Read Jeremiah 13:23, 1 cor 2:14, John 6:44, 65. Read the whole chapter of romans 9. THis man is a HAIRY TICK!!! or heretic..however you chose to spell it.
“God desires all men to be saved” (1 Tim. 2:4), and He gave His Son for us men and created man for eternal life. Likewise: All things exist for man, and he himself exists for God that he may enjoy Him, etc.39 These points and others like them can be refuted as easily as the first one.
