I'm saying reformed theology is false doctrine that teaches that it's OK to live in sin as they claim all future sin is already forgiven which causes many to go ahead and live in sin.
They also teach that Christians sin everyday in thought word and deed and we just cannot quit sinning.
The devil is the author of the lies in reformed theology and he is quite pleased that so many have fallen for his lies in spite of having access to the Bible that does not teach the lies reformed theology is peddling.
Those that have not researched the teachings that warn of the dangers of reformed theology have not been educated according to God's Word.

A Calvinist, or those believing in T.U.L.I.P while denying they are a Calvinist or persuaded of the same error, will tell you that they are the only ones who recognize God's sovereignty. It should be noted, however, that in the nearly 13 hundred pages of Calvin's Institutes (1689), does he give a place for God's love.
This is alarming since scripture tells us that is the very thing that had God send His Son to this earth to pay the penalty for our sins. Since Calvin and those who follow him or a similar distorted view of the gospel believe God has created millions to send to the lake of fire, the love of God would seem hypocritical as an adjunct to His 'sovereignty.
Calvinists (etc) who hold to this sovereign view of God do appear to forget why God sent His Son down to this planet. Of course these same people also believe they are included as the 'elect' and had no choice in God choosing them....for some serendipitous reason....and they hold fast to that misplaced identity.
John tell us (I John 4:8) that the very essence of God is love. GOD IS LOVE.
The exclusion, or at least insignificance to the Calvinist (etc) of all but the all encompassing sovereignty, leads to the question of where this God who is love, has put His judgement (He is also the judge of all the earth) when it comes to unfairly sending people to burn with the devil and his angels in the lake of fire.
No choice. Literally, go to hell. As the Bible is clear that sinners will not see God, we must conclude that God is the author of sin and various other contradictions (to His revealed nature in scripture) in order to fulfill the idea of sovereignty according to Calvin and those with that understanding.
The problem there, is that the Calvinist will also tell you that since mankind is not free to choose, God is limited in what He can do.
Apparently then, there is a problem with the Calvinist interpretation of what sovereign actually means.
God must also be the originator and supporter of evil since apparently the devil also had no choice but to become the devil.
If God decides all, how can He be loving or fair since His judgement is against His own creation?
And that, is just the very beginning of the problem with Calvin's understanding. Let me add that many of His beliefs and practices actually originate from Catholicism.

You tell me what was said. Does any of that exclude believers? Perhaps read what Paul had to say about his own countrymen in Romans 9. Salvation is for all and there are no 'pre-saved editions of believers that are branded 'elect.'
You are so adamant, I am starting to believe you have been taught what you have presented here. Let us know if that is not true.

You’re not listening to what I’ve tried multiple times to explain. Whether you like it or not, God elected some folks for special tasks. They have no choice. Others have free will to choose Jesus upon hearing the Gospel. The Elect are not any better than the free will folks. You seem to think that; well it’s not true. God loves and saves “whoever” believes in Him.

I have thoroughly read your posts. I understand what you say. I disagree with your two types of Christian understanding and I have said this multiple times. Elect are those who have accepted Christ and the foreknowledge of God enables the term 'elect'. This is a concept that has to do with God's view.
Perhaps you are not listening. I disagree with what you are saying and there is really nothing else to say about it.
I did illustrate the fact that despite those in scripture who are so well known, there are even more, just as what you call 'elect' whose stories are not told.
You are right! I am sure that I sin in some way each and every day! I can only ask to be strengthened to overcome these sins and ask for forgiveness. But, I also know that I will not be perfected in this lifetime.
If anyone claims that he no longer sins, scripture tells us "he is a liar."

And only his children. Not the seed of the serpent! From the very beginning God decreed that there would be two kinds of people in the world.
And what you have to understand about a lot of NRs is that they believe God's elects believers only after they chose to elect him by their "free will". So what we have is a double election thingy going on.

I don't believe those things nor do any reformed people I know...and I know more than a few, even though we all believe that Christ atoned for all our sins. From whence did you get these lies? You very clearly do not understand the "P" in TULIP.
