All men are capable of being saved because his blood was shed for all men. But only those who believe will be saved. Have you believed the gospel? Chosen or forced is not believing. If Christ chose you to believe, then it was not you believing the gospel.

10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

If you believe God has determined everyone’s fate, then that’s fatalism.

I believe in the death, burial, and resurrection for sins, but I totally reject Calvinism. I am not in opposition to the Lord or his word. I am in opposition to a Catholic Priest names John Calvin and his fatalist theology.

Ahhhh, the truth comes out. Anyone who does not believe in Calvinism is lost. Wow!

That falls on the shoulders of the church. The church, which includes you and me, has done a poor job preaching the gospel at home and to the uttermost parts of the earth.

They not need the gospel preached to them. If one has a belief in God the creator, I believe God will send them more light. Besides, at one time in history, the gospel had gone out into all the world, and was preached to every creature under heaven.

Romans 1...

People are chosen before the foundation of the world. The context is spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Why do Calvinists always make the context about them?

Election is always to service not salvation. Christ was God's servant, his elect. The nation of Israel was God's servant nation to bring about the seed. Those who are in Christ are God's servant used as ambassadors to this world. There will be elect servants during the tribulation used to...

And you believe that when elders pray over the sick and anoint them with oil they are healed every time. Can you please have these elders visit the nearest cancer hospital.

Begat us again? That's the nation of Israel. God had begotten them out in the wilderness.

Christ is God's elect. And notice how election is tied to service not salvation. Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

Read what you just stated...again...again... Changing words of scripture is a big deal with God.

Why even bother to debate? God elected me to believe the way I do.

Exactly what I stated earlier about how Calvinists change the wording to fit their RCC doctrine. “To be in Christ”🤦‍♂️

The purpose of God was in Christ before the world began. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy...

Notice it does not say: He has chosen us TO BE in Christ. That's how Calvinist read it.

Nope, one must trust Christ first and be found in him. Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Again, not one man has been chosen to be in Christ. That's a false teaching (fatalism) of the RCC Calvin who believed in infant baptism of...

The entire context is the spiritual blessings found in Christ, not salvation. Not one has been chosen for salvation, but those in Christ have been chosen to receive the spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
