    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Rejecting the Trinity? My answer to you was about religious slogans that promote the theology of men. If a word or phrase does not appear in the Bible...it is a red flag...and it is usually some one in the past that is promoting a false belief or personal belief. You are suggesting a go no go...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    The Heresy of Calvinism To start things off you have the Eternal Decree as John Calvin called it, which meant that God had determined in advance, before the creation of man and all things, who would be saved (the elect) and who would be damned (the reprobate). The meaning of reprobate means...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Can a person be saved if they do not believe in the Trinity? Can a person be saved if they do not believed in Original Sin? Can a person be saved if they do not believe in the infallibility of the Pope? The Catholics do not believe you can be saved and not believe all this. The doctrines of the...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    More accurately, I am saying that it is difficult for people to choose one denomination over the other 30,000. On the other hand I have also said, keeping to the basics, you could write all a person needed on a three by five card to be saved. That does not mean they should not read the Bible...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Well as I pointed out they are Johnny come latelies because the Gnostics were the first to completely blaspheme God. they were interpreting Scripture without the Holy Spirit and they were going off a man centered interpretation or grievous misunderstanding by not reading the whole counsel of...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    According to some, the Apostle's Creed is the statement of Faith for Christianity. Some believe that people read it out loud before everyone before being Baptized.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Grailhunter--->This could have a very very long explaination.....I will try to make it short. The question is do you understand the doctrine as taught in the Bible? Sounds mean but it is a funny. Your average person has a lot of problems with the Bible. Puts most to sleep, that is why they put...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Your choice of theology can affect your standard of morality, I say can. Most people are not theologians, not by a long shot. And how they pick the church they go to varies. The church that their family goes to....the one closest to their home....the one that was preached to them at their front...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Heaven is real and the Way to get there has been defined by Christ and the Apostles, a theology does not change that. What stands between a Christian and heaven is Judgment Day. All will appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ and account for what they have done....both good and bad. Both...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    being made.....willing by his grace. Back to irritable grace....walking robots. We know the truth. The one thing that Calvinism stands for is no free-will. There is no discussion in Calvin sources about how much John Calvin believed in free-will and choice. This discussion is pointless.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I am the the Johnny Appleseed of truth, so no twisting here. We are looking for a discussion or statement that indicates that John Calvin or Calvinism believes in free-will and choice, those words. This discussion is about free-will and choice so those words have to appear or not appear. I...

    Did not say they hide being Calvinist.....just what that means. If you can do it then....you can post here where the WCF speaks of free-will and choice. Go for it.

    Your the Calvinist....prove your point.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    You keep saying that Calvinism believes in free-will and choice....I told you to prove it. Then again, are you not telling the truth because you are being dishonest or is it that you really do not know that much about Calvinism. It seems you are not telling the truth.......but.....flipping a...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Every reference in TULIP is not in the Bible. Completely made up, just like every other man-made theological cliché. It is the preverbal red flag for false beliefs. Someone trying to hood winkle you in to believing something that is not true.

    I have a few books on John Calvin and some of them are older, but I think they are in storage.

    Your the Calvinist and the one not telling the truth. So prove me wrong.

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    Quote from the WCF how Calvinism believes in free-will and choice and its relation to Judgment Day. How does the WCF explain how people of free-will can choose to be a Christians. Can choose to be good or not. Good luck. So we can go back and verify it, here on the forum. We can go no further...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    I have been educated in theology and Christian history in five different countries and own a 40,000 dollar library, what do you bet I have read it. Now quote from the WCF how Calvinism believes in free-will and choice and its relation to Judgment Day. How people of free-will can choose to be a...
