Why I'm Not A Calvinist

Calvinists think they are deep-thinking theologians. Actually, the first thing someone needs to be a Calvinist is overwhelming pride. They are so proud that they think if they can spell TULIP they understand the mind of God. Now THAT is PROUD!

I waited for this message but again NO AUDIO! Sooo disappointed. This happens with none of my other 58 subscriptions Why does this one consistently have no audio? Maranatha!

Peace, brother. My name is Leandro and I speak from Brazil. Can I translate and post some of your KJV videos on my channel? My work on YouTube has been one of the few voices to publish the Receptus Text on the Brazilian internet.

I tell you the truth, I be no Calvinist, as I did come out from six point Calvinism nigh ten years ago, and also in a truth, Christ did pull me out of it, the monster that it is.

You mean Soul deceivers. Never lost is never saved

[DamienJohnsonKJV]

These comments are full of a bunch of angry Calvinist. Gotta love it lol

Calvinism is not just about TULIP. Also i never heard any say they know the mind of God. Lots of strawmen and misunderstanding going on.

Sam is right that the King James Bibles is the perfect word of God. But, his accusation that we Calvinists are proud is absolutely wrong. Just the opposite. As a Calvinist I am opposite of proud. There is nothing that I did to save me. Just like I can NOT do anything to save someone else. I bring the gospel to others hoping they are one of God's elect and will come to Jesus Christ. It is those who are not Calvinist who have pride. They think they can "win" the other person to Jesus. Only God can bring or "win" someone to Jesus. I do not count myself as a theologian. A Baptist (who I think was not a Calvinist) told me I am theologian. I did not accept that description and said "I don't think I'm a theologian." BTW, I could not grasp a real challenge to Calvinism from Sam, I could not even get an accurate description of Calvinism from him in this talk.

Sam Gipp is a liar. Calvinists do not simply spell Tulip and then stop studying. Gross misrepresentation.

Freewilliers reject all scripture that goes against their idea. The Reformation is part of History. Calvin did not make a new doctrine but all he did is referring to the early church fathers like John Chrysostom, against the heresies of the Catholic church However I gladly give you some Bible text

Words like “predestined – predestinated – foreknowledge – elect – election – foreordained” appear with regularity and are always the basis for Pauline teaching on salvation. When someone denies personal predestination from before the foundation of the World” it shows that they have never really stood toe-to-toe with the Bible and read it for what it actually says. The staunchest brick wall opposition to deny the truth of God’s word is always built on traditions of men; never on the clear word of Scripture. Our fleshly, human ego just loves the idea that our “will” is totally at liberty. Yet, the Bible tells us that we are “dead in trespasses and sins.” Human tradition refuses to believe that. And Biblical salvation is always based on God’s free and sovereign grace, Only His will and His good pleasure; NEVER on our willingness first and God’s grace last. Again, human tradition refuses to believe that.

Exodus 33:19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

Proverbs 16:4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.

Matthew 20:23 He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Matthew 25:34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Mark 13:20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

John 6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

John 17:9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

Romans 8:28-30 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Romans 9:11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), 12 it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

Romans 11:7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,

2 Timothy 1:9 Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,

Ephesians 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.

Ephesians 1:11-12 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

1 Peter 1:2 According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

1 Peter 1:20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you

Galatians 1:15 But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace,

1 Thessalonians 1:4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,

Revelation 13:8 And all who dwell on earth will worship it, ( So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast) everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.

Revelation 20:1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more.

Revelation 20:7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan WILL BE released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. “WILL BE” means it will happen BECAUSE of God’s Decree.
Why now release Satan to deceive the nations? This lifetime is short and Hell is forever. Would you rather be presumptuous and not find out the truth. Never Lost is Never Saved.

How much FREE-WILL do people in Thailand have with 93% practicing Buddhist and 5.5% Islam 1.5% divided in no religion and Christians? To be born & raised a Buddhist only a miracle from our Sovereign Lord can change the heart of a person. If God wanted all to be saved all would be saved. The old covenant was for Israel only. The new covenant does not have limitation to certain people.

The misunderstandings, the character attacks, and the misrepresentations are all fascinating.
You start characterizing Calvinists, rather than discrediting Calvinism.
You're attacking PEOPLE, not the idea.
Wow.
(But pointing out this flaw with Sam's approach proves how even MORE wrong Calvinism AND Calvinists are...somehow.)
