The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
I hear the same as you regarding there being sequence. So my question to my fellow Calvinists is the same as I posed to you: where in scripture is it made clear there is a sequence rather than salvation aspects occurring simultaneously? Honestly, I am not sure I understand why other Calvinists... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
My apologies for not being more clear. My first question was rhetorical. (I assumed you would not know the majority of the people you present the Gospel would be saved.) If you will notice, the second question implies the first was rhetorical. The second question is not rhetorical, so it would... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
I tried to give you an honest answer, to a statement that has some non biblical ideas mixed with biblical. I do not doubt you are being honest. I guess my root question is where in scripture are we directed to see the various aspects, the ones we agree happen as part of being born-again... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
If you believe we are all born with the natural desire to sin, couldn't it be that in essence we are all predestined to be sinners? Let's say you, loving the darkness and hating the light, rounded up as many eastern European Jews and shoved them into camps and slaughtered them like animals... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
I don't. I am not called to share the Gospel with only the elect, but rather everyone. Especially since I do not know who the elect are. -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
TD, that's quite a barage of questions and statements! Let me try to address them one at a time. (Please let me know if I miss any of your points.) I do not think you are an idiot. I am wondering if you are so committed to your doctrine that you are unwilling to examine another person's... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
The desire to obey my Lord's commands in presenting the Gospel. The joy of having my Lord use me as His means to accomplish His will in the world. My love for those that are without Christ. My joy in seeing a person given joyous new life in Christ. To have the pleasure of seeing God's glorious... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
So you know a large majority of the people to whom you present the Gospel will be saved? What is the advantage of knowing everyone has the real potential to be saved all the while knowing that a large majority won't accept your message? Is it essential to the "integrity of the message" that we... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
I assume I am to take this answer as a long way of saying "No"? And if the answer is no, will you direct me to scripture that clearly shows that there is a sequence? -
My marriage is on the rocks
Thanks for engaging with me on this. It is a privilege. If you were to leave, what would be your purpose for doing so? Would it be a last-ditch effort for saving your marriage, a way just to make the suffering end, or ...?- Hospes

The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
Does the non-Calvinist believe that a large percentage will be saved? If so, based on what? Seems Jesus indicated few would enter when He said "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. (Matthew 7:14) I see no logical link between "Since God's... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
So that I can see this verse from your perspective, would you put into your own words what is happening, by man and/or by God in "with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"? I agree as a new creation we are prepared, equipped, and motivated to live according to the will of our Lord, "for... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
Thank you, JBL. I would welcome the chance to re-frame any of my questions. I highly value clarity and want to have the chance to make what I write understood. This is a great question, I just don't know if I can answer it for you satisfactorily. The question is based on the premise that there... -
The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
Here is how I understand your position. (Please correct if I am wrong.): On the Cross, Jesus paid for every single sin for every single human ever to exist and for those humans yet to exist. For someone to be saved and remain saved they must live their lives believing in Jesus and obeying His... -
My marriage is on the rocks
That makes your situation really difficult in that it is the Christian community in which such situations were meant to be handled. Do you and your husband have any mature Christian friends nearby? (Mature as in they love Jesus foremost, love and know and live by the Bible, and are not recent...- Hospes

The Value of Evangelism in Reformed Theology
How would you like for me to respond to your 3X posting? Further apologies? Some other form of penitence? It'd be nice to move off of process and back to dialog. -

No Worries! Please let me know if I fail to address any of your questions. Maybe if you would quote my question and then respond, then I'd see more clearly you are addressing my question. My apologies for not making the connection between my question and the response you gave. For you and I...
