I think that "Coreissue" honestly believes that. I would fault his lack of gentleness (which is supposed to be one of the "fruits of the Holy Spirit"). We are ALL imperfect vessels of the Holy Spirit. We frequently leak.
Calvinism is a Cult

We did not make the distinction, the OP did. And raging? Have you SEEN some of the blind rages thrown at us by some of the posters here when we 'offend' their theology by pointing out the contradictions in their beliefs? This is getting kind of hypocritical.
Really? Where? I mean apart from @Preacher4Truth , @SovereignGrace , @Laish and others I had no idea!
[couldn't resist, the moment was too perfect]
I haven't seen any instance where any of you have pointed out any contradictions in what we believe; nor have I seen any instances of rage that you are speaking of...(thread name, page #, and post #?)

No, comedy. And you know what they say; the best jokes are often so funny because they are true.

If one verse in the Bible defeats Calvinism, then Calvinism is untrue...and I find that at the very least, Romans 5:2 defeats Calvinism for those who are spiritually able to see what is in front of them.
2Co 4:3, But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2Co 4:4, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

You've been shown your misusage of that text numerous times. My old professor had a solemn conclusion for those who always take Scripture out of context and get it wrong. You'd fit his conclusion, and he wasn't even Calvinistic. But at least he'd get Romans 5:2 right, unlike you.
How about reading Romans 5:10.... where it says that while we yet hated God He reconciled us to Himself. Not we reconciled ourselves to Him. Or Romans 3:24-25, where we are "justified by His grace", not by our faith. or in Hebrews, where it says the "He who has begun a good work in you will finish it", not "He will finish the good work you started in yourselves." Or John 6:35-40, where "All that the Father gives me will come," not "All that give themselves to the Father will come."
I could go on, but I think these will suffice to show that your theology is just not grounded in careful Bible study.
For the record, this can be considered where I showed you a contradiction in your theology.
[Thought I would like to add Romans 12:3 , where it states God has allotted each a measure of faith.... but then how is it of us?]

Unless you or one of your cohorts used it. Then it's all good.
You are aware your teaching is false and based on out of context Scripture, right? And that just like the false teachers in Jesus day, you get angry and rage when shown to be in error, right? Do you realize this?
