A Defense of Calvinism (C.H. Spurgeon) [3of4]

"I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. I do not believe we can preach the gospel, if we do not preach justification by faith, without works; nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in His dispensation of grace; nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah; nor do I think we can preach the gospel, unless we base it upon the special and particular redemption of His elect and chosen people which Christ wrought out upon the cross; nor can I comprehend a gospel which lets saints fall away after they are called, and suffers the children of God to be burned in the fires of damnation after having once believed in Jesus. Such a gospel I abhor."

- C.H. Spurgeon

@warrenland Well, I thought it was interesting 2 years ago. Praise be to God that I am not trapped in any heresies. I just pray & read the Bible. Serve God. Communicate w/other Christians. Thanks for the heads up, though.

[warrenland]

@jettmanas do not get trapped into this damnable heresy.it is completely against the nature and character of GOD to say he creates some men for the sole purpose of sending them to hell.please explain how that brings him glory.or that the "elect" serves him only by God sovereignly choosing them to salvation.We are not robots God never made us to be dont wrestle the scripture to your own destruction.Choose you this day whom you will serve.Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

[warrenland]

if you are a follower of calvin or spurgeon you will be in hell one day repent and come to Jesus and follow him only.He alone is the way the truth and the life.When the scripture says he is not willing that any should perish he means any.

Psalms 119:130:7

O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.

[GodLovesUs100]

@gregpas17 That is nonsense, if the Lord began a good work in you, he will finish it.Those that fall away were not converted in the first place, the problem is very prevalent here in America but if the Lord has truly influenced your life and saved you, you will be changed,God will not put you through more than you can bear.God bless.

I believe that a person can walk away from their salvation, but it is a cold dark walk that the person would take knowingly and willingly. But you can't just one day lose your salvation like the remote control of your TV!

Thanks for posting...terrible audio though...very distracting. Still very encouraging to see the unchanging nature of the gospel. How we can hear these truths preached from the apostle Paul, to Augustin to Spurgeon up through to today with guys like John Piper an RC Sproul.

Nevertheless, we have this passage that many will go to the wide gate but only few will enter through the narrow one.

Still, it may not refer to infants thou...

Well, God will be glorified anyway in the end.

I think I am starting believing in limited atonement... Oh boy, my friends from the church are going to hate me.
