Calvinism, Arminianism, & “Prevenient Grace”

Debunking the myth of “prevenient grace.”

[jrpzjrpz]

This sermon made me cry intensely, please pray for me, please.

[RL-tgds]

Those who have ears to hear.. let him hear. Clear and honest message. Most importantly, Biblical.

[roguecalvinist]

This sermon woke up and chose conviction

[Postdust]

I left a super charismatic church last year due to, well due to many things. How is it possible to still live in unity with those brothers and sisters when we differ on so much, even though it is secondary and tertiary. I tried to for a while but it was very awkward.

[LucianaPelota]

Great sermon! To the praise of His glorious grace!

[fatalheart]

"Do not be deceived. He who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who does not do what is right is not righteous."

"You will know them by their fruit."

"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it."

[JesusistheonetrueGod]

Ouch, this one was a punch in the gut. May I never be effeminate. What do you suggest we do to get in the fight pastor?

[eflint]

Time to revisit the doctrine of state sovereignty and the voluntary nature of the Union.

[FightingfortheKing]

Profound misunderstanding and strawmanning of Arminianism, but I can hardly blame you for that, because the vast majority Arminians don’t represent the soteriology of Arminius very well at all. I do wish Calvinists would actually take a moment to read the works of the man whose name they plaster with epithets and cheap shots. You’d find more agreement with him than you might think.

You said, ". . . so worldly means to care about temporal things; which means to be not worldly, to be righteous, is to not care, to only think of heaven, that the only righteous thing that anyone could ever do is sit in a chair by their self as the world is going up in flames and . and that that would be called righteous, whereas what that should be called is ; it's effeminate it's Gnostic it's . . ."

What are you talking about? I have never heard of anyone who thinks "delicious romantic erotic thoughts about God".

"That's your modern evangelical" -- Sorry, but I would never characterize modern evangelicals as loving Jesus to much. Actually they love the world far too much and Jesus far too little!

So you would characterize one who wholeheartedly loves Jesus as "effeminate"!?!?

Supreme love to Jesus is what our response to the gospel should be!


"The Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me!" Galatians 2:20

Is Jesus precious to your heart?

Is He the object of your supreme admiration and delight?

Does He have your warmest affection?

Do you love Jesus?

You must light your torch of affection for Christ, at the altar of Calvary.
You must go there, and learn and believe what the love of Jesus is to you:
the vastness of that love,
the self-sacrifice of that love,
how that love of Christ labored and wept, bled, suffered, and died for you!

Can you stand before this love--this love . . .
so precious,
so great,
so enduring,
so self-consuming,
so changeless;
and know that . . .
for you was this offering,
for you this cross,
for you this agony,
for you this scorn and insult,
for you this death--
and feel no sensibility, no emotion, no love to Jesus? Impossible!

Do not be cast down, then, in vain regrets that your love to Christ is so frigid, so fickle, so dubious. Go and muse upon the reality and the greatness of the Savior's love to you. And if love can inspire love--while you muse, the fire will burn, and your soul shall be all in flame with love to Jesus!

"We love Him, because He first loved us!" 1 John 4:19

[johnsteele]

You are not born again before you believe! Faith precedes regeneration

[appointedaday]

Got news for you Nether Calvin nor Arminius will defend you at the Judgement, No excuse, No Hey Lord you did not gave me the faith or the grace to believe will be an excuse sorry
The Grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to ALL men, But did you head, did you Obey
Because Titus 2:11 shows us this is what grace does teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

Right now not when we get glorified bodies and not to only the elect but to all men, just like romans tells us ALL men received a measure of faith and Jesus tells us we will be judged on what we did with it

Did we act faithfully or did we suppress the truth in unrighteousness, Did we walk by faith or did we refuse to receive the love of the truth, did we lay down our lives or did we love our lives in this world

Did we pick up our cross deny ourselves, OR did we love the world and the things in it

Did we seek the kingdom not of this world or did we erect Idols in our hearts like politics and América
