Man cannot accept the fact that they have no role in their salvation...it is 100% the work of God.....this alarms the preternders....

Calvin did not teach you must be regenerated before you believe.He taught you cannot repent until you are regenerated.Its good they said they heard A Calvinist say,you must be regenerated before you believe.One supposed Callvinist.I once heard a phony say he was true.

No offense, but this is utter BS. Calvin did not stand for any of these things. He just wanted to play and imagine flying around in spaceships and stuff.
And why didn't you even mention his sidekick, the doll named Hobbes? Hobbes was always the voice of reason.

TO HELL WITH CALVINISM!

You don't defend yourself very well. I would say you need more study. Just a thought...................

thanks for posting this, very good. I need to start making these on the subject of Roman Catholicism

Yeah, it just never ends. Therefore I am truly ending (this time for real) any further conversation with you.
May God have mercy on you.
PS - In case God does have mercy, and opens your eyes, you may then look me up and apologise -- the same way I looked up those I opposed when I was an anti-Calvinist (and I was better at it than you, in all honesty), after God opened my eyes to the truthfulness of the Reformed Faith.

Not only that but in his commentary on John 8:32 he states "For so long as
we are governed by our sense and by our natural disposition, we are in bondage
to sin; but when the Lord regenerates us by his Spirit, he likewise makes us
free, so that, loosed from the snares of Satan, we willingly obey righteousness.
But regeneration proceeds from faith, and hence it is evident that freedom
proceeds from the Gospel." Need I comment more!

this is seen also in his
commentary on John 3:36 Calvin states "Some understand it thus: "as by believing
we receive the Spirit, who regenerates us in order to justification, by that
very regeneration we obtain salvation." For my own part, though I acknowledge it
to be true, that we are renewed by faith, so that the Spirit of Christ governs
us,"
Salvation is a gift from God by His grace through faith to all who will believe in the finished work of Jesus on the cross for them. It is made so simple that even a child can believe yet it is man that complicates it all arguing over every point causing strife and divison in the body of Christ. Just preach the Gospel and let the Holy Spirit save the sinner, I have hope for everyone of my family members that someday they will repent and reciving Jesus into their lives and be saved.

See, this is your tactic, Blair -- to falsely represent what Reformed Christians believe. There isn't a knowledgeable Calvinist in existence who would say that a response in faith is not necessary for salvation. I've said it several times, but you've ignored it because your goal is to sew discord (and you shall reap your reward). You have no regard for truth or for truthfulness. And that is why I am now ending this conversation.
True enough, you aren't an Arminian, you're are a Semi-Pelagian.
