Michael Card - Come to the Table

Michael is really really good!! I love John Michael Talbot too <3

I could not disagree with you more...  you are in my prayers.... (you seem to need them)

REALLY? I need prayer because I disagree with you? Then get on your knees and start praying, because you've got a lot of praying to do if you intend to bring before the Lord every single solitary person who does not agree with you. I wish you luck in that venture.

I assume that everybody is invited to the table althought the Bible clearly teach that is not everybody who will be there.
So, it's clear that if the Father doesn't attract someone to the table, he won't come. But, as human, we didn't know who come and who's not, so we shall be sure to not close the door of the Kingdom by saying:" this guy can't be saved." We don't know. Calvinism, like every explanation of the bible's mysteries (in Paul's sense) is subject to get something underlighted or wrong

But a thing is very clear, everybody need to ask forgive to God, then turn away from their sin and start to follow Him by praying (which is merely laying down my heart in front of God), reading and memorizing the Scripture, fasting and joining a local church who faithfully teach the Bible.

Michael Card is singing a lot about discipleship. Its true that the Swiss man Jean Calvin highlighted the sovereignty of God: to God be the glory, whether people follow Jesus or not.

We still need to know this. He was a reformer reacting against underlying beliefs of his time that made salvation cheap and man-made. We are not yet free from such spirits of our time and while every human being is invited, we see that not everyone is coming. We grieve about that and refuse to allow our theologies to harden our hearts towards people.

Calvin reminded us that the Father draws people to Jesus, and with that I cannot argue, because Jesus said that before Calvin. But I am hesitant to be a "Calvinist" . (Would you, for example, like to be a "Kenneth Haganist"?) That's making too much of man. And Calvin himself would have found that horrible. Let's follow the only Man deserving that honor and humbly learn from each other while we follow.

Great testimony about your friend, Andy.

I hear you themange59. I have a friend who came to Christ as well and loves this son. How powerful is the Lord that He would redeem your friend Andy from all that he did.  Amen!
