Unbelief can and is changed in the elect by the Holy Spirit; those who were chosen are guaranteed to believe. Those who were not are guaranteed to remain in their unbelief. Unbelief is not the unpardonable sin, but rather is only pardonable through the Holy Spirit. Once changed by the Holy...

But you said you believe that Christ died for all sins of all men? Does this not include those who will never believe and will go to Hell? How then can they be punished for the same sins for which Christ already paid for?

Is not accepting Jesus a sin?

These verses clearly state that Christ's intentions were not to save every single person, but a chosen group of sinners. The Sheep. The ones the Father has given. Giving his life a ransom for MANY. These verses clearly show that Christ gave His life for MANY, but not ALL. All KINDS of men, yes...

So people in Hell are paying double jeopardy? Christ died for all sins on the Cross, and God accepted His offering as the remedy for sin, so that all men who are under His blood are forgiven completely. So, when a person goes to Hell and is punished, they are paying for sins that Christ already...

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not the same as general unbelief. Are you saying that everyone who does not believe is blaspheming against the Holy Spirit?

One of the reasons for the use of these expressions was to correct the false notion that salvation was for the Jews only. Such phrases as "the world", "all men", "all nations", and "every creature" were used by the New Testament writers to emphatically correct this mistake. These expressions are...

Again, you are reading into it the assumption that all men must mean all men! You refuse to read the plain Scriptures I have presented, and instead are content pulling 2 or 3 verses out of context to build your theology upon. 1.) We know that Salvation cannot be Unlimited because the...

Here we have 3 Arminian assumptions. 1.) Rev 22:17 -- This does not mean that the Spirit of God does not compel. You read that into the verse by saying "Oh, the Spirit says come; that must mean a choice made completely apart from the work of the Spirit." Your views of plain Scripture are...

Simple. This verse is correct; Anyone and everyone who truly calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved... but only God can make a man willing to call on Him. It takes an intervention by God before any man will come to Him. You read into this verse the presuppositions that all men have the...

I never denied this. The people of God from the beginning have been the church. This also does not speak to any of the other points that I made; points that you claimed were errant and have yet to give any reason WHY.

In the New Testament, many times are the people of God called the Church. So... I don't know what you mean here. I did deal with verses like this and added a string of them as well for the very purpose of leaving you without excuse. I dealt with these kinds of passages in my previous post...

Willingness has nothing to do with the effectiveness of Christ's blood; unless you are saying that YOU are the one who makes the blood effective, but that still does not help your case. You said that Christ's blood covers all sins! Choice doesn't change that claim. So here's the problem with you...

Not being hypocritical. You have yet to actually answer any of my questions, simply answering them with more questions and jabs rather than actually addressing the questions. Let's take a look at what the Scriptures teach, and step away from personal presuppositions and college degrees. 1.) We...

An example would be nice. Again, your word does not mean as much as THE Word. Please, if you are going to correct me, by all means go ahead. But just saying this proves nothing; especially when your answer is 1 sentence long and includes 0 Scripture.

Thank you. Though I prefer depraved sinner in need of the Holy Spirit personally. Not at all. I compared spiritual things with spiritual things, and ruled out the false narrative you are pushing. In fact, you are the one who is reading into context every time you pull out a verse that says...

Here is the problem; with each of these verses you are reading into them things that are not there. In order to read these passages, and infer what you are trying to make them say, you have to assume that this process happens apart from the work of the Holy Spirit. You infer that this choosing...

Read the context. Good solid theology is never built on pulling verses out of context. Let's examine the previous verses, so that we can get an understanding of the context: John 12:20-22 – Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast; these then came to...

How so? I would love to hear your point of view.

Not at all. Indeed, Reformed theology confirms the need of the Scriptures as the tool by which God brings men to repentance. You dismiss the very power of God in salvation, claiming that it is by man. Just because it is not man that makes the decision does not make the Gospel any more or less...
