    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    God chose to use the foolishness of Gospel preaching to grant the gift of faith to His people by hearing it (1 Cor 1:21, Rom 10:17) which is what was accounted to Abraham unto righteousness. Rom 4:9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For...

    The eternal promises of God are with His spiritual seed and not those of the flesh. God saves by grace and not by race. Rom 9:6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, Rom 9:7 nor are they all children because they are the seed...

    Your assumption is made on the notion that God loves everyone including those He justly casts into Hell but the 18 Scriptures below prove otherwise. And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred...

    God who decreed all things before time including the Fall. He called man whom He created in His image and likeness very good (Gen 1:31) but after the Fall He called man only evil continually (Gen 6:5) and justly killed every man, woman, child and animal in the flood bar the remnant in the Ark...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    The Scriptures plainly proclaim that not all are saved and those who are saved are few which is why the doctrine of sovereign election drips from just about every page of Scripture given to humble men to know that salvation belongs to the Lord and not the choice of men as you assume. God...

    since you can not prove what you say from Scripture I am left with no choice but to disregard anything you say on the matter and leave with you the wise warning below.

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    The parable of the sower proves that not all who respond to the outward call are called inwardly as Christ confirmed when He said "Many are called but few are chosen." It is only those who are born again by grace before the foundations of the world and before time began, that truly respond and...

    please understand that the word foreknew does not mean that God simply knew what people would do in time and then stepped back out of time to choose those He saw would choose Him. This would be called postdestination and not predestination which clearly says in Scripture that God chose some...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    are you denying that faith is given as a gift of grace and that Abraham was not accounted or imputed the faith through which God justified him? Rom 4:9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    Like most Arminians you love to pull verses out of context to try to fit them into your man-centred theology and wrongly take what was written specifically to Christians and apply them everyone in the world. Rev 3:14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says...

    only by the definition of Calvinism as being the biblical doctrine of salvation belonging to the Lord and not to the choice of men. I do not follow Calvin I follow Christ but am prepared to wear any label thrown at me if it is biblical.

    the real question that needs to eb asked is whether this faith/belief that saves a person comes from within man or is granted to man as a gift as seen in the verses below? Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, Php 1:29...

    Mike Winger's "Why I think Calvinism is Unbiblical"

    the Doctrines of Grace which you call Calvinism describes who Christ is from Scripture and what He came to do. Did Christ come to make salvation possible for those who choose Him or did He come to save His people from their sins as Scripture says below? Mat_1:21 And she will bring forth a...

    I guarantee that there will be many proud Calvinists in Hell. You are not saved by what you have in your head but what you have in your heart which is only given to men by grace alone, though faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in the Scriptures alone and to the glory of God alone!

    the mystery which has been kept secret since the world began has been revealed in Christ! Col_1:26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. Col_1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this...

    I am very sure that Calvin did not ask to have an "ism" placed net to his name and only sought to proclaim what the Scriptures said which many today choose not to hear for it does not scratch their ears (2 Tim 4:3-4).
