Calvinism IS Christianity??

Too often Calvinism is used as a base for argument and controversy. Certainly it is the best explanation of the truths of scripture, especially in regards to the doctrines of salvation, but it is not Christianity. John Calvin himself would agree if he were here today.

I don't mind being called a Calvinist- it's certainly much better than being called an Arminian. However, I'd much rather be called a Christian.

Cont- We have yet to find this dear brother glorify anyone but Christ in all he teaches,nor have I yet seen anyone disprove him with Scripture.

I am ever so thankful to the Lord and humbled to know Monty Collier.

My peace and respect to you,

In Christ,

Bianca

That's wonderful, Bianca, and I hope that's true. If it is, then why does he behave like he does on the internet? Why does he lay the gospel in obscurity and elevate Calvinism to the level of scripture? His witness is detestable and I'm ashamed to be in the Calvinist camp with him. He is rude, uses filthy language and insults. I don't think he understands true Calvinism, even if what you say is true. I hope you look into what he does on YT and other places online. It's embarrassing.

To All,

openairpreacher is not a Christian, he is a Pelagian. A heretic of the worst kind. His theology perverts and destroys the gospel by replacing grace with human effort. (Isa.64:6)

I just blocked him about 20 minutes ago. I warned him to refrain from his childish witchcraft claims and to converse as an adult with scripture and theological arguments. He persisted in the former so I blocked him as I said I would.

[openairpreacher]

calvinism and witchcraft are very much alike,,,, tricking people into believing they have no freewill...taking them under control and bringing them under bondage to sin,,,

stop sinning and love Jesus

[bberchin]

You are being a mindless pest now. Unless you have some real biblical basis for your bias against Calvinism, knock it off with your childish witchcraft comments. If you want to have an adult conversation on theology fine, otherwise I will block you if you persist in your childish behavior.

Romans 5:1

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

[rofyle]

I have been a Christian for many years, but am new to Calvinism. I had never even heard of Calvinism, or Reform Theology, or even Arminianism for that matter, up until about a year or so ago. Anyway, you are so right. After bouncing around here on YouTube for a few months, I have to come find many Christians here who believe their faith in Calvinism to be far more important than their faith in Christ.

[NewDirection4us]

We are not responsible for anything that Calvin or Arminius did in their lifetimes. When people claim one of these men, they are saying they agree with that man's stand on who selects the elect, God or the sinner? Calvin said God chooses those whom are the elect based on nothing good in the chosen man. Arminius said that God chooses the elect man based on if he see that man having faith in the future. One way is unconditional, the other is conditional based on man's decision or viewpoint.

[NewDirection4us]

You seem to imply that some Calvinists worship him. I get this impression when you say things like "John Calvin did not die on that cross", etc. You're right, and no Calvinist would disagree with you on that. Monty is argumentative; he's gone after people like RC Sproul and John Piper. If he's going to start a fight, why not start it with the clear heretics, not those who you might have a minor disagreement with. All I'm saying is try not to judge all Calvinists the same.

[aProdigalChild]

Dearest Sir.

The Lord has blessed myself and husband to sit under the teaching elder known as Monty Collier(RedBeetle) and we've spent hours upon hours listening to this humble brother rightly divide God's Word freely to us.He has opened the Word of God and revealed Christ's Gospel to us with a reverence,patience and discipline that is very rare these days.He may not say "Jesus" like many in today's pulpits every 30 secs.BUT his whole teachings revolve around Christ's Word,Love and Sovereignty.

The god of Calvinism is no better than a devil. The god of Calvinism is glorified by the death and damnation of his creation.

"...individuals are born, who are doomed from the womb to certain death, and are to glorify him by their destruction." -John Calvin (Institutes of the Christian Religion)

(Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 6)

Pro 8:36 ..all they that hate me love death.

Psa 97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil..

connect the dots!!
