God chose me, I didn't choose him. I was so lost and I hated God but he called me out of the darkness and transformed my heart. I'm so thankful that he saved me I was dead in my sins but he gave me new life! I can't stop praising him now I'm so thankful that he saved me. Thank you for this good video.

The elect are the ones God has chosen to remove the veil first. We bring about the great revelations to mankind. God works through me I share Gods truth.

Who ever is left, after Jesus and His Father's Angels remove the wicked from the earth.Matthew 13 30-40.

Whatever I am, so be it, let the will of God be done!

[duketta]

No understanding of numerical symbology in the Bible

Explain Isaiah chapters 7 and 8, and please don't dodge it, answer what you understand the chapters are saying.

[willsmitt]

You are misrepresenting what John 15:16 is about. Jesus said this about his disciples for service. This doesn’t speak of salvation.

[pjguy]

To summarize, here is the gospel according to this message and Calvinism: God has chosen his elect. That’s it, end of story! No need to study the Bible, or evangelize and teach your children, or pray for your lost children or grandchildren, or contemplate your behavior considering God’s commandments. Why? Because God has chosen his elect! THERE IS NO HOPE IN THE CALVINIST GOSPEL, no reliance on God’s word! Simply God’s random choosing; like playing the lottery. But what sayeth scripture?

“I declare unto you the gospel…, BY WHICH YOU ARE SAVED…, unless you have believed in vain… how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried and rose again the third day, according to the scriptures… was SEEN of 500 brethren at once…”, 1 Cor 15:1-6. By the way, that eyewitness account would hold up in any court today!

Here’s what’s concerning for those that push “another gospel”, Paul says “though we, or an angel from heaven (or a preacher with a doctorate), preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” (gal 1:8), found again, in the next verse, “let him be accursed”. The book of Jude tells us that big threats come from within. Be cautious of those who preach, and scrutinize what they say with the Bible. Stick to the Biblical gospel and put your faith in the word of God, not John Calvin.

TOTAL FALSE... GOD DID NOT CREATE MEN FOR SOME TO LIVE WITH HIM AND OTHERS FOR DAMNATION. MEN CHOOSE TO BELIEVE OR DISBELIEF. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES. THIS ERRONIOUS TEACHING KEEPS MANY AWAY FROM HAVING HOPE. Matt.221-14

[RS-qkjj]

So wrong! You are confounding corporate election for service with individual election for salvation!

[Shalom]

There seems to be some inconsistency with this election doctrine. For example, the passages from the new testament cited are out of context, giving a different interpretation of the doctrine of election as given in this video.
This causes me to ask, so are you teaching that once saved, always saved regardless if someone renounces their faith in Yeshua as Messiah and the Son of GOD, is the will of GOD?

[chrisallen]

The Bible is the most exciting book ever. I’m a major King Jesus fan… and I can’t help but notice how boring you are sir…. Get some passion about you. That goes for all teaching.

[bjacres]

I think there's going to be a lot of Calvinists in he double tooth picks.
