Featured Watch out for HyperCalvinism!

Could you show me just where I ever said that you did?

 

Can one speak a word to you in love and not be dismissed as judgmental?

You come across as someone who is consumed with "self". It is almost as though you see yourself as some sort of street prophet and look down on those who do not participate in, or at least advocate, street preaching. I am not saying you are that way, but you come across that way. Perhaps it is just the way you write.

 

Since the person you quoted disparages them,he/she is one no longer.Classic hyper-Calvinism has no particular stance on the Jews and how it pertains to eschatology.

The Lord can change the heart of anyone including the heart of one who thinks he is performing a good ministy at the expense of dissing groups he thinks he has distinct theological superiority toward.

 

Bro, don't bother with the pots calling the kettles black. It will get you nowhere and they may never see it anyhow.

 

It is just the way you come across to me. But then again that is just my take. I certainly rejoice that the Gospel is proclaimed.

 

I wouldn't worry about that either. He also says we don't believe the Bible...&c &c &c &C... He's looking for a fight so he can have something to do all day.

 

Put him on ignore...:laugh:

 

If I am difficult to ignore, it is because I make simple arguments directly from scripture. Anyone can easily see I am not twisting or wresting this scripture. That is WHY it gets your attention.

When you ask me a question, I try to answer. You wanted to know why I believe Calvinism teaches another gospel, and I explained. Calvinists cannot tell people that Jesus died for "our" sins as Paul taught in 1 Corinthians.

Watch your favorite preacher John MacArthur avoid this question in this video;

John MacArthur will not tell YOU or anybody else that Jesus died for YOUR sins, because he cannot possibly know that if Limited Atonement is true. Oh, he says Jesus died for SOMEBODY. Wow, that's assuring.

This is not the gospel that the apostles preached, look what Peter said on the day of Pentacost.

Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

There were many thousands of Jews present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentacost, in fact, over three thousand persons got saved in a single day. Note that Peter told every one of these persons that the gospel promise "is unto YOU". Not only did he tell every person that the gospel promise applied to them, but he said it applied to their children. Someone should tell that to John Piper who said he did not know if his children were elect. But Peter also said the promise was to "ALL" that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

And how many does the Lord call?

Mat 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

In the parable of the wedding feast, how many were called? ALL, as many as could be found. No one was excluded.

Calvinism does not teach this, Calvinism teaches that Jesus only died for a few elect persons, this is what is called Limited Atonement.

That is what your favorite preacher John MacArthur teaches. Is that what you believe?

 

JonC: You said "...but I do believe limited redemption (which some will say is the same as limited atonement and others will say it is not)."

You left things hanging there. What was your point?

By the way,I am not familiar with the terminology of "limited redemption". It that something you coined? Of course "limited atonement" isn't a very helpful term either. I prefer to say specific redemption or particular redemption (atonement).
