    What's the matter Skandy, that one too revealing for you?

    It's like I said:

    What about this one?:

    It's each individual's choice whether they go to heaven or hell.

    A. True

    B. False

    Revealing? What do you suspect this revealed that I wouldn't like? I thought it was not fair to your views and I suspect some Calvinists wouldn't like that wording.

    How about:

    A: Man is not able to respond to the word of God and the Holy Spirit without being the subject of unconditional election, irresistible grace, and regeneration.

    B: Man does have the free will to respond to the word of God and the Holy Spirit without being the subject of unconditional election, irresistible grace, and regeneration.

    I never had a problem with it at all.

    How about this one?:

    Each individual's eternal destiny is their respnsibility.

    A. True

    B. False

    No. I'd want ANY inference to C/A to be absent.

    Considering the opposite, you might wish to rethink that one because I think you would pick B. above making A. below also your choice.

    It's God choice whether they go to heaven or hell.
    A. True
    B. False

    (Its kind of one of those cake and eat it too things.)

    Ok, we can leave only the Biblical terms in and take the others out.

    A: Man is not able to respond to the word of God and the Holy Spirit without being the subject of election, grace, and regeneration.

    B: Man does have the free will to respond to the word of God and the Holy Spirit without being the subject of election, grace, and regeneration.

    Don't even Calvinists believe they have a choice in the matter? It's a choice determined by the greatest desire which is effectually brought about through regeneration, but still there is a "choice." Just looking out for you guys. ;)

    I hate to be the nit-picker, but even I believe man is not able to respond to the word of God and the Holy Spirit without being the subject of election and grace. Keep trying. :saint:

    How about:

    1. God has chosen to save a particular number of individuals who will certainly be saved and all others will be condemned.

    2. God has provided a way for all to be saved and some will freely go that way while others will not.

    Oh King of the Quite Obvious...I'm quite aware I did not start this thread. Like I said, please follow along. The quips are doing just fine right here, as this is where we are discussing "denseness" according to you.

    I see your point. In my haste to appease ky, I overlooked that.

    How about:
    A. Before the foundation of the world God predetermined what He would do with those who are placed in Christ.

    B. Before the foundation of the world God predetermined who would be placed in Christ.

    Not bad, but a bit revealing........

    That's better (bear in mind I'm somewhat playing the devil's advocate, I considered the OP to be void of C/A). If we DID come up with a generally accepted wording of the options, a neutral party, someone well liked (like Amy G. ?) should be recruited to submit the thread, IMO.

    Edit this one to read:

    God determines each individual's eternal destiny.

    A. True
    B. False

    ?????

    I don't know about these gisms...so I didn't vote in the poll.

    But I do believe that God found me.

    I believe other people find God.

    What gism does that make me ?

    So if The Spirit gives me one light to walk in, and you believe, that your light is different than my light, then you are right, and I am wrong ?


    What happened to "Soul Competency", brethren ?

    Soul freedom ? Priesthood of the Believer ? Autonomy ? You know those Baptist distinctions we all learned about in RA's, GA'S, Training Union, Sunday School, etc... ?
