I was predetermined to disagree with Calvinism. I also confess Jesus as Lord, so I’m not a heretic. Thank you.

Calvinism is simply wrong. Not because of fairness or anything like that. It's just simply not in Scripture. If Calvinism is true we are not ever sure that the very teachers of calvinism are actually born again, nor can you tell a random stranger Jesus died for them because we simply dont know. Also u cant say well wee see the fruits of them so we know, because if they fall away at a later point it will just be accepted that they were never saved in the first place and all those works that looks like fruit were false.

[JesusProtects]

The heretic calling others heretics. A classic.

[juncobile]

If we don't know theology we can't defend truth and determine truth from heresies.

John 10:25-27 KJV
[25] Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. [26] But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Calvinism is so misunderstood. At one point in my life I didn’t like Calvinism either. I heard one of John MacArthurs sermons of him teaching Calvinism (and I didn’t realize that he was until afterwards) and I came to realize that I was a Calvinist as well to an extent, because I simply believed the word of God. I’m not a professing Calvinist but most of my beliefs do in-fact align with it. Actually about 99% of my beliefs align with Calvinism. The only part of Calvinism I have slight disagreement with is the doctrine of election. I believe that a large majority of Christians were predestined for the faith while there are some who were lost at went looking for truth and found it in Christ Jesus. Like when Jesus said “my sheep hear my voice”, I believe those are the elect. But there are other sheep out there without a home and when they come to Christ, in his mercy and love, takes them on as his sheep. Now I understand that my thinking may be flawed in this aspect, but hopefully the Lord will shed the scales off my eyes so that I may understand it more thoroughly and correctly.

[mikedickison]

If I am predestined by GOD to be saved, HE calls me and I will respond positively.
If HE doesn't call me, I cannot be saved. If this is correct all mankind have nothing to say.

So why did/does GOD create billions of people knowing in advance they were corrupt and it was/is impossible for them to be saved because HE didn't/doesn't call them. These are souls burning in hell who JESUS didn't die for and had no compassion for. I guess that's limited atonement. Some souls are/were are just not lovable .
Who then is my neighbor? Am I required by GOD to have love for my neighbor whom GOD does not? How can I tell the difference.?

[anthonym.]

Go and make disciples...not theologians.

[huntsman]

Kevin, why is everybody who doesn't agree with you theologically a heretic? You're calling all believers from Christ to the 16th century heretics! You're calling Augustine, Martin Luther, and everybody heretics. Salvation is given by grace, not based on understanding of theology. Naaman was saved by faith and that is our model that we should look to. You seem to have so much anger and resentment against those whom God did not predestine to believe in Calvinism. If Calvinism is true, then God chose for them to be infant believers, if it isn't then none of it matters. Under Calvinism, there is nothing you can do to change any of this.

[kimmykimko]

Ive never understood why "saved" people deny the doctrines of Grace. You dont see atheists condemning it but people who supposedly are recipients of Grace...

[timothykeith]

If you pray for a sick person to be positively healed, rather than for God to make it possible for them to be healed, then you are already more Calvinist than you may know.

[Angel-JC.Saves]

the carnal man cant receive this glorious doctrine he abhors it

[TimBarr-ep]

Sola you are so WRONG...Calvin/The Devil has Deceived you...

[rhondae]

Man simply refuses to acknowledge and accept the fact that God (Christ Jesus) chooses who he wants to save.

[heaththielen]

.... If you only knew... Sounds like you're blaspheming God

[kate]

Jesus was a Calvinist. Nicodemus was presented the gospel of God's Holy Sovereign Will.

[fnfjedi]

And how do we know that God has sovereignly selected us? When hearing R.C. Sproul's words - or those like him - scares the literal hell out of you and leads you to cry out to God to be saved. And when you, who are being saved, share those words with another and they reject them, do not be disheartened, rather pray for them that God would turn their hearts to Him, for only God knows the hearts of men and only He can save.

[ManassehJones]

The LORD God uses the religious unsaved natural man's futile mind to make His Elect hear and see what they were before receiving the adoption. In reality we need to thank the LORD for them, as without them there would be no contrasting darkness to the affirm the light of the Truth in the Elect. For this reason the LORD hasn't destroyed Satan yet, as Satan is the LORDS servant, doing only that which the LORD decrees.

[JonathanSaxon]

And non calvinists can't stand you guys either!
