....Sola Scriptura....
Such as that there are multiple scriptures that explicitly say that Christ died for all and not one that Christ died for a limited number?
You ignore Sola Scriptura and shoe-horn in your man-made doctrines.
....Sola Scriptura....
Reformed Theology is the study of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, of which you are a part if you are not Roman Catholic.
The Reformation's great cry and commitment is Sola Scriptura, which stresses the Bible's inspiration, authority and sufficiency.
I'm sure there are a number of words mentioned quite a few times in Romans. Not sure this is relevant.
Indeed - but the law will only be fulfilled through faith in Christ. I'm not an antinomialist.
GT,
LOL
No sin is good. None is edifying.
But I'm pointing out that we all have fallen short and are condemned.
In finding Jesus who Loves us and had already found us, He is our propitiation and LIGHT.
I'm asking you, do we demand Fleshly absence of sin as part of our witness.
In other words, do you teach that the righteous that are saved are void of physical, fleshly sin in simple reference to the Law of Moses that you still recognize as being Gods law.
Most specifically, Moses in light of commandments of flesh.
Again, do you demand that they who are saved are free of sin in the flesh by humanly judgeable standards?
NO! What part of God's Truth (not gt's) gt does not understand?
You are GUILTY OF THE WHOLE Law.
James 2:10 - For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Too bad you got clobbered with an "ism". Theology is important and Christians must be able to define what it is they believe. Your four points in no way describe the teachings of Calvin or Reformed Theology.
Yes, however, they were both great men of the Reformation era and have wisdom and theology that benefit all believers.There is a big difference from Luther to Calvin.
Would you not agree?

I'd rather not spend time refuting your points unless you are sincere in learning more about Reformed Theology. We can talk by PM if you want further resources.No disrespect meant here, but why do I need to reform theology?
I thought the Holy Spirit and the Bible were good for that.
On the flip side... Could you please use quotes from Calvin and the studies you deem valuable in the ism to refute any or all of my points?
Elect, in adjective form, means to 'be chosen'.
Therefore, anyone who says they 'chose God' is categorically wrong.
That is why this conversation is pointless- if people can't come to terms with what scripture outright defines God's people as being, then they really are at odds with their alleged worldview, not Calvinism- Calvinism is what they have taken to project their theological insecurities on.

See exposition of the WCF here.No worries Crucible.
Could you please explain who is Chosen by God and how He made His election, so I may further understand you?
Ummmm, I'll have to chew on this a bit.I read this, and I appreciate your response.
I believe you are suggesting I may have an answer to my request that you refute my statements with more than your own words, only if I bathe in the words of men who enjoy pre chewed food.
Did I understand correctly?

So, I linked to the link and recoiled in fear.
yesElection simply means "Selected" as in elected=selected.
Try to understand the distinctions that are often not so well understood: http://goo.gl/hpwnvm
Most labor under the misunderstood notions touted by very vocal (and heretical) Hyper-Calvinists.
