The History of Calvinism

Phil Johnson gives the history of calvinism

[tymurphy]

“It all started with a guy named Paul…”

[yvettesterling]

I like listening to Phil Johnson preach! I agree with him wholeheartedly! ✝️

[croppedndocked]

Phil Johnson + John MacArthur... These guys are both amazing.

I’m actually a free thinker before I learn about Christian and I know how it feels to be free. And all that you are saying. I understand it and I like it. Even without the Christian book. Is the human nature and who we learn it from. From Jesus himself. To be the leader with kind heart. Peace and Grace. Gentle and lightness.
You must see the big picture and observe and think and study about it before jumping to conclusions. This man here is saying very clear in a more understanding way. Of why Jesus do this, or that, rather then reading the Christian book without learning and seeing the big picture and taking action and not violent. This is the other ways of studying.

"15 years after he came to the lord". I have been saved for the Past 15 years and recently became a Calvinist

[mrnoedahl]

It’s so sad to see Christians working so hard to divide the body of Christ. Judgment day is coming.

History....It tells the truth. What a mess we are in today. Calvin & Augustin would turn over in their graves!

Great video, thank you very much, note to self(nts) watched 11:46

[BeWise-sw]

Calvinism was first articulated by Augustine (a Roman Catholic) in the 4th century.
So, the Church did quite well for 300 years without this doctrine.

The Biblical doctrine of salvation is best described by the “Corporate View of Election”
or the “Provisionalist Salvation Doctrine”. Don’t look to be right; look to find truth.

If you go back in church history.... Look for the ones who died for faith and truth... Those are the ones the world hated.... Just like Jesus. They hated them. Because they first hated him.

If there is a Calvinist reading this, can you answer one simple question that I have:

"Did God decide to create billions of people with absolutely no choice to repent so that they can be tormented forever in hell for his pleasure?"

I just cannot wrap my brain around this thought so could a Calvinist enlighten me on this? Is this truly what a Calvinist believes?

[ewetube]

Playing a bit of devil’s advocate here: if Christians believe in a purist form of Calvinism and follow a doctrine of the elect, then why do we evangelize? In the same way Arminians can believe we shouldn’t pray for the souls of the unsaved, then why do Calvinists believe in evangelism? If God has already predetermined those that will chose Christ, then why spread the Good News?

[johnsneed]

I think the 5 points were first used by Lorraine Boetter, and as you said as a memory aide,

[TheGodSchema]

Why pray for others? Because God will show his glory.

"Its, " not "It's, " please in the title.

[cedricburkhart]

It's a historical you can't find it in the fist century or second century.

[Qedoshim]

The problem with the Calvinistic view of soteriology is that it contradicts John 3:16. Jesus died for the "whoever"s of the World. Whoever believes are the elect, the predestined. . .

[catalinaapartments]

obviously Martin Luther will think like Augustine, He was an Augustinian Monk. All the church father taught Free will. Augustine believe in free will for 20 year before he went back to gnostic views. Augustine was the first one to use psalm 51:5 to claim we are born depraved. It is just his philosophy.

[theshockoftruth]

I don’t struggle with Gods sovereignty and election and predestination at all. I also totally reject Calvinism and embrace Arminianism with no scriptural conflict at all.

To whomsoever will. God does not pick for you. You choose exactly where you go.
