I am taught by the Holy Spirit. God told me to get rid of my vast collection of commentaries and He would teach me.

Good.
Start here, if what you said is true., as the HS will teach you this first, and you need to learn it.

Hebrews 13:9

Romans 3:21-28

Romans 4:8

Colossians 2:11

2 Corn 5:19

Galatians 1:8

John Calvin is a demon possessed Liar, who created a Cross Denying Theology about 500 yrs ago.
His doctrinal pack of satanic lies, "Calvinism + Hyper Calvinism" owns the minds (theologically) of about 75% of the Christian Church.

To discover if someone's mind is infected with John Calvinism, notice if they try to prove that God caused them to believe in Jesus, vs them choosing to Trust in Christ.......... and if they also try to prove that Jesus didnt die for everyone.

When you find a person teaching that garbage, you've discovered a mind that is infected with John Calvinism.
I no longer hang around those types of people. As I told eternally G. , I rely on the Holy Spirit now. He teaches me. There is love in my heart to spread the gospel. You arguing with bible verses, not what I say at all.

I know you know this, whenever someone's interpretations of passages conflicts with plainly stated, clearly written Scripture, we know their understanding is incomplete.

One of my favorite passages concerning this topic is the one you alluded to, that He has sealed us unto the day of redemption. He's paid for us, and put His seal of ownership on us, sealed to show we are His property, to preserve His right of possession until the day He comes to retrieve His purchased possession. Who is able to unseal what God has sealed? No one!

Much love!
lines up with John 6. Jesus said of all who have been given to him, he will lose no one.

We are gods possession, not our own.

If that is true, then why dont you trust in Christ to keep you saved?

Dont you believe you can lose your salvation?

So, if you dont even understand Salvaiton 101, then you dont understand anything else related to correct Doctrine as taught by Paul who wrote most of the NT epistles and all of the Church Doctrine.

Nope, you cannot choose unless God opens the heart. It's works to choose.
No it is not work to chose.

it is the work of God we chose. God comes to us, draws us, Forces us to make a decision.

he who believes is condemned, he who does not believe is condemned already
That puts a human element into your salvation and that didn't happen.
I just did What God commanded.

Not by the will of man..

what part of that do you fail to see.

John 1: 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

I can not will myself to heaven by receiving him, But I must receive him, God will not force you to receive him.
God has Sovreign authority over all aspects of your salvation, otherwise you can say what you just did, saying I chose to get saved.
Again, Your following a Calvinistic fatalistic model.

I would lay this aside, and start studying the word

That's the way the Bible is written though. There are so many places that say things like, "to them He gave the right to become children of God" refering to those who believed and received. "Come to Me all you who are weary and heavy burdened", "But if I be lifted up (crucified) I will draw all men to Myself", things like this, that if you read them for their face value show God's universal invitation, "Urging you as in Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God", if you read these just like that, as written, God would have us all, but leaves it to us to choose.

Maybe to you that means God isn't in Control, but then, it all depends on what you think God is doing. I think He is gathering a family of those who want to love Him and be with Him. That requires Choice. Just like Adam in the garden, we all choose, and our choices have real consequences. God, in His divine decree, ordained life that way.

Our requirement to make a choice for or against God is well established throughout the Bible. If to you that is works, then you need a new definition of "works". Repentance is itself a change of the mind.

Much love!

he is calvinistic. why would you think a calvinist would believe salvation can be lost

Calvin teaches "perserverance of the Saints" so that is his take on Eternal Security.

But as always.......John Calvin has everything pre-destined, and that is where his theology has no connection to the NT.

What Calvin did was redefine....>>"God's Fore-knowledge" as "God predestined it all"., and that is why all Calvinists rant about "predestined this" and "soverniety that".

Calvin has everything. FALSELY "predestined"........from being born again, to God choosing you to go to Hell".

He was led of a demon, and wrote it all down......and the worst part of his incredible pack of lies is his "limited atonement", as that is the ultra Satanic part of His Theology, as that denies the Cross and rejects God's Grace.

He still does not believe salvation can be lost. yet you accused him of it.

this tells me you do not know him very well.

actually

a person is justified the moment they are saved by faith.. this justification is eternal (called eternal life)

a person is in the process of being sanctified. or made into the image of Christ. which is ongoing until they die

a person will be glorified when resurected to a new life..

A person is saved from penalty of sin (justification)
they are being saved from the power of sin (sanctification)
they will be saved from the ability to son (glorification)
I think you make have misspelled the word 'ackchyually'
