What is Calvinism? (In 10 seconds) #calvinism #calvinist

[Soteriology]

Neither of those are unique distinctives of Calvinism. All Christians affirm this.

[ASpeakingHuman]

He's not saying the quiet part out loud. And that is, in Calvinism God chooses whom He will doom to eternal torment. And, in Calvinism God created sin.

[georgedez]

That's calvinism being deceitful and using language that bible believers use. Tactics used to go undetected

[Echarterisc]

How does the Calvinist preach the gospel knowing that only the elect of God can be saved?

[an_nie_dyc]

That’s what I believe, too. I’m not a Calvinist. The wording is very misleading… in order to make Calvinism sound biblical?

[rexweller]

Calvinism is not mentioned in the Bible.

[DiscipleofJesusChrist-tp]

I was at a church that to become a member you had sign an agreement to the Calvinist theology. What open my eyes to this false teaching was when I read a section that said when two new born babies die; God can choose to send one of them heaven and the other one to hell. Heresy is too soft a word for this kind of theology.

[thomasjefferson]

This is what all followers believe. So, what is the necessity of the additional "ism?"

Please tell me.

[GhostBearCommander]

Calvinism can best be summarized in the following way:

You either win a lottery ticket to heaven, or you go to hell.

[EyesLikeFire]

A very deceptive video. You all know Calvinism is MUCH more than that, i.e. no true free will (even for Judas Iscariot), picking and choosing who goes to heaven or hell based on nothing of the individual, etc. Very deceptive video.

1 Cor 14 isn’t addressing those leading others in prayer. Here is verse 23:

“Therefore if the whole church gathers together and all the people speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are insane?”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14‬:‭23‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

[aninoko]

Christians debate about second guessing GOD's mind. Hey, , our job is to spread the Gospel, --period. Of course there would be some differences but I wish it wouldn't be that serious so let's leave the perfect answer to GOD.

[davemccoy]

Calvinism doesn’t answer who he saves. The scripture does. Not calvinism

[theomegaman]

Ask yourself how did this maniac get so much power in a short time??

[stevenirizarry]

Calvinism can be summarized in a few seconds….heresy.

[zebra]

T-Totally confusing
U-Unfounded assumptions
L-Lack of biblical authority
I-Idolatrous philosophy
P-Perversions of the Gospel

[shelly]

This true of the Lord, but not completely of Calvinism.

[joenelson]

What? 😂 I was expecting to learn something.

[georgelugenalt]

Everyone gets so angry about obvious things. First: Yes, God knows if you are going to hell or not. How could HE not know? To be God, He must obviously know. Second: YOU do not know. You think you have free will in this matter, as you do in many things, but in fact without God's predestination of you, you would not have believed, ie, Total Depravity. The mistake people make is they assume it's all about them, they assume they alone can choose Christ, they assume God operates with their permission. Foolish people who think they can treat God as though He were just another man. Calvinism says God is who the Bible says He is, a Holy God, the way God described Himself at the commandments. People who reject Calvinism assume God is essentially human in his power with respect to salvation. You don't have to be a Calvinist to be saved, but Calvinism IS the correct understanding of God nature, IMO.
