Me, too. However, many noncalvinists don't like it when calvinists use that term to describe what they believe. Some think it's dishonest—a way...
It isn't Paul who made that remark, so what does that have to do with the way Paul uses the word "called"? There are places where Paul uses...
At least in the way Paul uses the word. He often uses it as a near synonymn for saved or being saved.
A good book on this subject is Praying Backwards by Bryan Chapell. In a nutshell, praying in Jesus's name is an acknowledgement that it is...
Goats don't want to be sheep. They don't like sheep. And they especially don't like shepherds. Goats just wanna be goats.....
Is there anywhere in the Bible that indicates that a goat has become a sheep? No. There are sheep yet outside the fold, but a goat doesn't...
No. God's choice of people's time and place is logically subsequent to his choice of people for salvation. Your question would only make sense if...
And I'm saying that election isn't restricted to certain people groups, but is rather the choice of certain people, and those people are placed...
Maybe all are, maybe some are, maybe none are. How would I know? And unless I know, the question is nonsensical. My answer is that over the whole...

Nope. The "lapses" are just for two of the calvinistic orders. They have to do with whether the decree of election is directly above (supra) or...
I'm going to have to abandon this conversation, at least for a bit. Anyone who is interested in this subject, though, might find this chart by...
You are right. Scripture doesn't delineate it in the sense that it gives us a list of the order of the decrees. And the order of the decrees are...
In my opinion, supralapsarianism, sub/infralapsarianism (I think they are the same thing) and amyraldiansim are all calvinistic ordering of the...
the reference is to Jewish Christians. That is a reasonable interpretation of the passage, as far as it goes. But unless you think that early...
Neither. He's speaking specifically to the Ephesian Christians, so the statement about the first to hope in Christ would include both Jews and...
Every view of how people are saved has an order of God's eternal decrees. The people holding that viewpoint might not realize it, but how they...
