Billions of unsaved people (including religious people) cannot discern truth. Even many believers are confused, having been misled by corrupt preachers. Calvinism says you absolutely must make Jesus the Savior and “Lord“” of your life to be saved, and that the proof you are saved is that you have turned away from your sins. Such teachers are devil-preachers in the pulpit! I'm talking about John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, Paul Washer, John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Chip Ingram, Charles Lawson and Ray Comfort. I'm talking about Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, who openly admit to being Calvinist on their college website. I'm talking about 30% of all Southern Baptist churches!
John Calvin (1509-1564) was an unsaved heretic who is today and forever burning in the fires of Hell! That is the horrifying truth. Salvation is solely of the Lord, because of what HE DID FOR ME, and not because of WHAT I DO FOR HIM! As Christians we SHOULD live for Christ; not MUST (that is works), not WILL (that would be Calvinism). If you have children, do they HAVE to love you to be your children? No, of course not. Likewise, every child of God is 100% safe in Christ, unable to lose salvation no matter how horribly we choose to sin. Granted, that doesn't give a believer God's permission to live in willful sin (Romans 3:31; Hebrews 12:6-8). Many preachers fail to discern the difference between SALVATION versus DISCIPLESHIP. The truth is still the truth, even if no one believes it; a lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it!
John Calvin's heretical teachings on salvation are commonly expressed and simplified with the acronym, T-U-L-I-P:
- TOTAL DEPRAVITY (man is too wicked and has no freewill to come to God, he must be enabled)
- UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION (God chooses who will be saved)
- LIMITED ATONEMENT (Christ only died for those whom God chose to be saved)
- IRRESISTIBLE GRACE (God forces salvation upon those whom He has chosen)
- PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS (those who are saved will persevere in holy living, otherwise they are not saved)
“Can a man who's predestined to salvation really be lost before he is saved? If a man is predestined to salvation, why does he need to hear the Gospel? What would be the point?” —Pastor Yankee Arnold, pastor of Calvary Community Church in Tampa, Florida; "Why Lordship Salvation Is Wrong?"
