    From what I have read of Calvin, I do not think that he would have agreed with the extent of the atonement that some have presented as the “L” in TULIP. I have read contemporary Calvinists who have explained some passages exactly opposite from Calvin’s explanation (that’s actually why I came back to this board, to try and understand what was considered “Limited Atonement” in today’s Reformed churches).

    That view you are describing from Spurgeon is probalby very similar to what I was describing, which is... A truly saved person will believe to the end of life because the Holy Spirit keeps him believing.

    Now for practical application of this, I think Spurgeon would agree that if someone is RIGHT NOW not believing, they should not sit back with smug assurance of salvation, since they believed at one time, and hope to believe again before they die. That person needs to believe the Gospel! (leave it to God to know whether they were truly saved all those years ago or not).
