"How Should Calvinists Deal with Arminians?" (James White)

How should Calvinists deal with Arminians? Is it possible to stand firm for Reformed theology without causing unnecessary offense? If you're a Calvinist now but were an Arminian before and a Calvinist caused offense against you in explaining the theology, would you have been as apt to lay hold to the doctrines of grace? Dr. James White answers a call on The Dividing Line show regarding this subject and offers some great advice.

@YesYou123333 Look, you clearly aren't interested in the truth so, (Shakes dust off feet)

[YesYou123333]

@ThePuppyTurtle None of the verses you have brought up mention ANYTHING about being saved. NONE.

[ThePuppyTurtle]

@YesYou123333 If You read the context, it is addressing saved people. It lists several characteristics of the Saved, And says that They can fall away. You also are yet to address James 2 and haven't acknowledged 1 Timothy 2: 3-4. And Once you say it CERTAINLY doesn't mean saved, YOU Accept the burden of Proof. So please say what else Partakers of the Holy Ghost Could POSSIBLY mean and demonstrate that's what it does mean.

[YesYou123333]

@ThePuppyTurtle You can argue all day what "partaking" means but it certainly DOES NOT mean saved. This is what YOU are claiming, so back it up.

[ThePuppyTurtle]

@YesYou123333 Hebrews 6 mentions Partakers of the Holy Ghost. James 2 Teaches Salvation by Faith and Works. Partake entails more then belief, I believe in premarital sex. but I do not partake in it. Likewise, Some may believe in the Holy spirit without partaking of Him as I do.

[YesYou123333]

@ThePuppyTurtle James 2 says nothing about a saved peron. A partaker only means a believer. The devil believes in the Holy Ghost too. Is he saved? God does nothing "randomly". He chooses those He knows will accept Him.

[ThePuppyTurtle]

@YesYou123333 Please Address James 2 and tell me how an unsaved person can be made a partaker of the Holy Ghost as in Hebrews 6.

[ThePuppyTurtle]

@YesYou123333 Way to Change the subject, but anyways, the only limit I put on God's love is the fact that he cannot do nonthings (Such as forcing a free choice) You however, believe God RANDOMLY and ARBITRARILY Chose not to save some, Even though he wanted to save everyone (1 Timothy 2:3-4) and was perfectly capable of doing so. Yeah, What a Guy.

[YesYou123333]

@ThePuppyTurtle The bottom line is...you don't believe Gods love is infinite. I do.

[ThePuppyTurtle]

@YesYou123333 Yes I did defend it, Hebrews 6 says you can lose your salvation. It describes a SAVED Person in painstaking detail and says that they can fall away.
