Did a C or A say this?

Without googling, who wrote the following, a Calvinist or Non Calvinist?

"Faith is simply a convicted heart reaching out to receive God's free and unmerited gift of salvation."

 

Yes. A high Calvinist in fact. John Macarthur, in his Romans commentary. Why if a non Calvinist says this, he gets accused of adding "works" to grace?

 

Good. You can catch a lot more fish now. Fishing much more fun in a boat.

 

I have noticed that as well. One reason I respect Calvinists such as J.M. and D James Kennedy, is because they are/were so confident in their Calvinism that they do not rabidly defend it. Both readily admit that not all Scripture supports Calvinism , some supports Arminianism.
So many on here twist some passages to death to try to prove that it supports Calvinism, when it does not. (The opposite is true as well)

 

You don't need the context, but It is in the context of a Calvinistic commentary on Salvation by Grace alone Through Faith alone. It's not an out of context sentence. The group of CALVINISTS ON HERE, have accused both myself, @Revmitchell , and many others of "works based salvation" for saying one has to accept the free gift of Salvation. Here, J.M. says "reach out" to accept salvation and that is OK? Maybe J.M. is just ignorant or does not understand Calvinism???

It came from J.M. Commentry series. Vol 1 Romans. Chapter 4 vv3-5

 

Will be interesting to see what they say because so far they are avoiding it.

There has been a pattern on here for years of the same behavior. A non cal says exactly what a Calvinist says and the Arminian is Ignorant and does not understand Calvinism. A Calvinist say the same thing .....Crickets.
