That is not God's will. He wills that many perish;
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
God's will is always accomplished;
9Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
God will save everyone he has purposed to save in the Covenant of grace....
no more...no less
Is Cal/Non-Cal important enough to divide?

This is ridiculous beyond belief. Not only is it phenomenally ignorant, it is deeply offensive.
It is ignorant because it ignores the fact that some of the greatest and most powerfully used Christians of all time have been thorough going Calvinists.
To say the entire theology of the pilgrims and the puritans, most of the founders of this nation, the father of modern missions- William Carey, the 'prince of preachers'- Charles Spurgeon, the instruments of the Great Awakening- Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield; to say that the theology of such people is out of the pit of hell is dumb beyond belief. People who have no better sense than to say such a thing ought to have the humility to not speak on such matters.
It is offensive for extraordinarily obvious reasons. -

Hey, name five of them that any of us on baptistboard even recognize.
Or even better, name five of them from off the top of your OWN head. How many of them are YOU PERSONALLY familiar with?
Enter the Jeopardy theme song... -

Thanks for taking the time to respond. At this time we do not see things the same way.....but lets see if we can close the distance between us scripturally.
Look at what Willis posts here.
Let me demonstrate why we see it differently..ok?
Jonathan...Peter is helping out the saints , the elect.... warning of scoffers and false teachers...agreed???
2 Peter 1
1Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall
