There is no Gospel in Calvinism. The 'good news 'is that Jesus died for the sins of the world.

Can you show me with scripture how that is so.

Do you not think that reformed believe the folowing to be true.

John 3:16ff

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

So are calvinist lost because they preach a different gospel? Paul would say so in Gal 3 if this is true

He has said numerous times they preach a different gospel.

but when it comes down to it and he is pressed to say whether he thinks their Gospel can save, he refuses to answer,

been that way since he got here Bro

well, it seems every man wants to be 'theologically correct'. Women just want to be saved.

Male or female we can and should know that we are saved right now . There is plenty of theology out there that is against this . Including those that preach Lordship salvation, like Calvinism and Arminianism.

well, you dont need to go there and argue with the theologists. Theologians dont really know God, thats why they study theology!
