Yes, but that's not saying God is controlling all things. God's will as outlined in scripture is going to come to pass. Nothing can stop it.

Yep, that's the Holy Spirit that is present when God's word is preached.

Omnipotent is far from sovereign. Again, kings of the earth can have sovereign reign over their kingdom.

Sovereign is a word Calvinists use to let other Calvinists know that they are Calvinists too.

Define what you call sovereign. Kings are sovereign rulers. God is almighty. Big, big difference.

No, the concept of Calvin's sovereignty is not in the bible.

Romans 10 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they...

Agreed. It's amazing that God would send his only begotten Son to this dark world, die on a cross for the sins of all man, and resurrect the third day...all that man has an opportunity to be saved. Amazing grace!

No such thing as the sovereignty of God in the Bible. The correct term is "almighty".

The Spirit moves through the preaching of the gospel to convict the lost sinner. Some people choose to reject their conviction. Others give into the Spirit and choose to call upon the name of the Lord for salvation. The Spirit is always involved through the preaching of the word of God. The Lord...

You think that God is great by forcing you to be saved? Electing some to salvation and sending others to hell without a chance?

Then you must believe that everything that occurs is the will of God. I do not believe this.

Not good bible to combine those two verses to make a point. Jesus was praying specifically for his disciples, that much is clear. Jeremiah is referencing Israel at the time of the return of Jesus as King of kings when he establishes his earthly kingdom in Jerusalem.

It happens often. What you are not taking into account is the backstory of each individual. Maybe the one who received the gospel had circumstances in his life that brought him to that conclusion. The other who rejected it, might receive it at some point, but for now, he's not willing to put...

Except for their own kids. They are naturally a part of the elect group. smh

My stance of salvation is that there is only one way, and that's through believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for sins. There's not one person in the OT that was "looking forward" to the cross. Therefore, there was not one person saved in the OT. The best they could...

Are you saying the men before the flood were calling upon the name of Jesus for salvation? They believed in the death, burial, and resurrection? Are you talking about another way of salvation?

Jesus was linking his death, burial, and resurrection to what Jonah did. Jonah died and was resurrected. Jonah would later die again. Jesus didn't have to say anything about Jonah's message because the book of Jonah contains it. You see, the people of Nineveh repented at the preaching of their...

None of the disciples were "saved" in the same way we are saved after the cross. None of the disciples even understood the cross because it was hid from them. Only until after the resurrection did the Lord start to slowly open their eyes to the truth behind his d,b,r.

I'll stick with the preserved words of God in English.
