Lol that's one way of looking at it. Tulip great flower but heretical doctrine

@bertryansuluvale6257 What's actually sad is that you are deceived by the false gospel of John Calvin and actually believe it's the truth. One of pastor Chuck's many jobs as a pastor is to warn the sheep of wolves who come in sheep's clothing to draw as many disciples away from the truth to themselves as they possibly can. Chuck's short exposure of Calvinism was perfectly stated, and of course, being a Calvinist yourself, you were offended. The devil has been counterfeiting the work of God since the beginning of time because he knows that's one of the best ways to deceive people who are in the born again church, or seeking to become a part of it. If you knew the actual truth about John Calvin's deceptive works, and you were truly born again, you wouldn't be a Calvinist because the spirit of God who leads us into all truth would open your eyes and you could see the deception of Calvinism, and why it is clearly another counterfeit gospel that is accursed.

Chuck got it right. I ask every Calvinist this question and maybe you can answer it. If the Father chooses to make people on purpose for destruction then isn't it possible that you're actually called to burn because it's possible right? So as a result you say, " look at what I'm doing I must be saved ." So in reality it's a works based salvation because no assurance in faith alone in what God gives so you hope that the good works somehow out way the bad. The bible says that God died for all mankind not just the elect. The bible says that there's no partiality with God Romans 2:11 but Calvinism says God makes for destruction on purpose. The bible says that it's the Father's desire that ALL would come to knowledge of forgiveness 2 Peter 3:9 but Calvinism says no just a few He chooses. The bible says that God gives us a freewill but Calvinism says God forces Himself on people. The bible teaches to love and respect everyone and not to think too highly of yourself but Calvinism teaches that you're chosen over your neighbors which is pride. Pastor Chuck has it right and I love all Baptist but the bible says that there will be false teachers having a form of Godliness but denying the power there of from such turn away. Be blessed my friend
