You should be happy and content with your obedience and salvation. You already have everything figured out, stop embarrassing yourself

How much of any of this theological debate is motivated by true love?
I'm whittling down to the most important doctrine of the Trinity, as the key to salvation.
If one hasn't a firm understanding there, it is the place to start.
Preaching to the choir I'm sure.

I was simply pointing out GT's hypocrisy in complaining about others not expressing "love" in their posts while she is calling glorydaz names.
I guess that you missed that point.
The greatest love that you can show someone is to tell them how Jesus has saved them.

Nope, but she's doing a better job of trying than anyone else she knows (it's implied). Like JohnW says, she's hoping to be the cleanest rat of all.

Right, then tell them it must be just as you prescribe, or it's a no go.

She can't. 50/50 chance the person she's talking to is reprobate.

Weird.
Anybody else ever heard of this?
Placing odds on, Christ's, saving grace.
No true believer I know of, thinks this way.

You don't have to hear much of the Gospel to be saved. All that I heard was "That his blood was shed for me". The Holy Spirit fell on me like a ton of bricks.

John Calvin thought that way. Sorry you don't know as much about your man-created theology as others do.

Start a thread: "If you don't believe this, this, or this, you aren't a Calvinist."
I'll be... "great, let's talk about scriptures then." :e4e:
By the Gospel of Grace.

Sinners are saved only if they have been chosen for redemption in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 1:3-4
It is the election, love, and grace of God for individuals that saves. Romans 9:13
Without these qualifications, no man will call upon or believe in the name of God.
"Reprobate" is a state of being in disfavor with God.
The King has the authority and right to name who He favors and those He will invite into His court.
Reprobates hate to hear this truth . . .
The biggest sin of Calvinism and the one that will cause you to be lost is that you believe that God is unjust. If God only chose some to be saved and damned the rest to hell, you have an unjust God.
Calvinism is self defeating. We are saved and justified by faith in God and his Son Jesus Christ.
If you believe in predestination, then you must also believe that God is unjust. Worse yet, Calvinist do not believe that Jesus atoned for the sins of the whole world.
You do not have saving faith in God, nor do you have saving faith in his Son Jesus Christ.
