Lazy, self-serving calvinists want nothing to do with conditions, personal responsibility. This 3rd column they run from.

Calvinism’s Terrible TULIP:

  • Total Depravity
  • Unconditional Election
  • Limited Atonement
  • Irresistible Grace
  • Perseverance of the Saints

“…they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14 

Those who will be eternally with Christ are “faithful” to Him who called and chose them. God clearly requires that like the 5 wise virgins, those He initially saves remain engaged in an abiding relationship with Him, the Great Bridegroom, which is a choice (Matthew 24:13; 25:1-13; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; Revelation 2-3, etc.).

Man’s part and the divine requirement, is to be “faithful.” It’s an essential. God calls, chooses, and man must have faith and be faithful to the LORD. Jesus says:

be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” Revelation 2:10

God’s elect are simply those who elect to serve Him on HIS stated terms. Calvinism is demonic.

Calvinists falsely seek to remove man and his participation from salvation, claiming that if man has any involved men in salvation, then that’s a denial of the efficacy of Christ’s sacrifice. Nonsense. They teach that “the elect” are those whom God chose from the foundation of the world, with no involvement required of the recipient of His salvation. They teach the the “elect” person participates by obeying or even believing he has to obey Jesus, that such a person is denying the efficacy of Christ. In fact, they teach that even against the person’s will, God chose them as His elect and so they are forced to be His and go to Heaven. Total heresy.

Is YOUR Work Finished just Because Jesus’ Work is Finished? 

MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM A CALVINIST:

“Do you guys ever wonder about the judgment reserved for those who could be judging God’s chosen?”

REPLY:

Who are “the chosen”? In the mind of delusional calvinists, THEY alone are the chosen, the elect but the Bible tells us that Jesus died for “the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD” and is not willing that ANY should perish, not one (2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2). But Jesus says individual men, ALL of whom HE calls to Himself, have to choose, to elect Him on His terms to be with Him eternally (Josh 24:15; Rev 17:14, etc.).

The bigger question is: Do you ever if God really meant it when He told us He’s going to judge the defenders of His enemies with His enemies? Those who bid Godspeed to the wolves the LORD so often warned us about, will be judged with them, in hell (2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11).

One believer writes: “God’s elect are the ones who choose His ways and follow His Son Jesus who came to save those who would give up the world for the Kingdom He came from.”

That is the exact truth about “the elect” – those who elect to love, worship, and obey Jesus.

To remain in the protection of our great God, we must remain soundly rooted and grounded in His Word, pure doctrine – which would necessitate the rejection of false, poisonous systems of theology such as calvinism (Ps 119; Prov 30:5-6; Acts 20:20-32; 2 Tim 2:15; 3:16-17, etc.).

(This is good. This is a good, brief read that is very balanced and establishes God’s initiating, merciful position and what He requires of man. This clears out the demonic, poisonous twists perpetrated by calvinists).

Eph. 1:4-5 “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love; Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.”

ELECTION, God’s choice of those who believe in Christ is an important doctrine to the apostle Paul (see Rom. 8:29-33; 9:6-26; 11:5,7,28; Col. 3:12; 1 Thes. 1:4; 2 Thes. 2:11; Tit. 1:1). Election (Gk. eklego) refers to God’s choice in Christ of a people for Himself in order that they should be holy and blameless before Him (cf. 2 Thes. 2:13). Paul sees this election as expressing the love of God as He receives as His own all who receive His Son, Jesus (John 1:12). The doctrine of election involves the following truths:

  • Election is Christocentric, i.e., election of humans occurs only in union with Jesus Christ. “He hath chosen us in him” (Eph. 1:4; see v. 1, note), Jesus Himself is first of all the elect of God. Concerning Jesus, God states, “Behold my servant, whom I have chosen” (Mat. 12:18; cf. Is. 42:1,6; 1 Pet. 2:4). Christ, as the elect, is the foundation of our election. Only in union with Christ do we become members of the elect (Eph. 1:4,6-7, 9-10,12-13). No one is elect apart from union with Christ through faith.
  • Election is “in (him) . . . through his blood” (Eph.1:7). God purposed before creation (Eph. 1:4) to have a people through Christ’s redemptive death on the cross. Thus election is grounded on Christ’s sacrificial death on Calvary to save us from our sins (Acts 20:28; Rom. 3:24-26).
  • Election in Christ is primarily corporate, i.e., an election of a people (Eph. 1:4-5,7,9). The elected are called “the body of Christ” (4:12), “my church” (Mat. 16:15). God’s special people (1Pet. 2:9), and the “bride” of Christ (Rev. 21:9). Hence, election is corporate and embraces individual persons only as they identify and associate themselves with the body of Christ, the true church (Eph. 1:22-23; see Robert Shank, Elect in the Son [Minneapolis: Bethany House Publishers], pp. 45-55). This was true already of Israel in the O.T. (see Deut. 29:18-21, note; 2 Ki. 21:14, note; see article on GOD’S COVENANT WITH THE ISRAELITES, p. 314).
  • The election to salvation and holiness of the body of Christ is always certain. But the certainty of election for individuals in the body remains conditional on their personal living faith in Jesus Christ and perseverance in union with Him. The apostle Paul demonstrates this as follows. (a) God’s eternal purpose for the church is that we should be holy and without blame before him” (Eph. 1:4). This refers both to forgiveness of sin (1:7) and to the church’s sanctification and holiness. God’s elect people are being led by the Holy Spirit toward sanctification and holiness (see Rom 8:14; Gal. 5:16-25). The apostle repeatedly emphasizes this paramount purpose of God (see Eph. 2:10; 3:14-19; 4:1-3,13-24; 5:1-18). (b) Fulfillment of this purpose for the corporate church is certain Christ will “present it to himself a glorious church . . . holy and without blemish” (5:27). (c) Fulfillment of this purpose for individuals in the church is conditional. Christ will present us “holy and without blame before him” (1:4) only if we continue in the faith. Paul states this clearly: Christ will “present you holy and unblameable . . . in his sight: if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel” (Col. 1:22-23).
  • Election to salvation in Christ is offered to all (John 3:16-17; 1 Tim. 2:4-6; Tit. 2:11; Heb 2:9) and becomes actual for particular persons contingent on their repentance and faith as they accept God’s gift of salvation in Christ (Eph. 2:8; 3:17; cf. Acts 2:21 ??; Rom 1:16; 4:16). At the point of faith, the believer is incorporated into the elect body of Christ (the church) by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13), thereby becoming one of the elect. Thus, both God and humans have a decision in election (see Rom 8:29 and 2 Pet. 1:1-11).

PREDESTINATION. Predestination (Gk. pro-or-id’-zo) means “to decide beforehand” and applies to God’s purposes and objectives comprehended in election. Election is God’s choice “in Christ” of a people (the true church) for Himself. Predestination comprehends what will happen to God’s people (all genuine believers in Christ).

  • God predestinates His elect to be: (a) called (Rom. 8:30); (b) justified (Rom. 1:24; 8:30); (c) glorified (Rom. 8:30); (d) conformed to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29); (e) holy and without blame (Eph. 1:4); (f) adopted as children (1:5); (g) redeemed (1:7; (h) recipients of an inheritance (1:14); (i) for the praise of His glory (Eph. 1:12; 1 Pet. 2:9); (j) recipients of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13; Gal. 3:14); and (k) created for good works (Eph. 2:10).
  • Predestination, like election, refers to the corporate body of Christ (i.e., the true spiritual church), and comprehends individuals only in association with that body through a present living faith In Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:5,7,13; cf. Acts 2:38-41; 16:31).

SUMMARY. Concerning election and predestination, we might use the analogy of a great ship on its way to heaven. The ship (the church) is chosen by God to be His very own vessel. Christ is the Captain and Pilot of this ship. All who desire to be a part of this elect ship and its Captain can do so through a living faith in Christ. By which they come on board the ship. As long as one is on the ship, in company with its Captain, he is among the elect. If he chooses to abandon the ship and Captain, he ceases to be one of the elect. Election is always only in union with the Captain and His ship. Predestination tells us about the ship’s destination and what God has prepared for those remaining on it. God invites everyone to come aboard the elect ship through faith in Jesus Christ.” Donald Stamps Life in the Spirit Study Bible pgs 1846-47

Sealed? What Does that Really Mean?

Eternal Security Busted and Exposed

Calvinism Debunked

Calvinism is an extra-biblical system of theology which blatantly contradicts clear, known Scripture. 1 John 2:2 alone exposes calvinism as a doctrinal system of devils.

Calvinism Exposed

Calvinists are snakes. They hide this evil, demonic system of beliefs just like Satan attempted to hide his identity when he entered the pristine, sinless Garden, infiltrating, to deceive the man and woman. His first lie was the OSAS/ES/perseverance of the saints lie which led to the fall of mankind and is still leading to the damnation of millions (Gen 2:17; 3:4).

WHEN you hear someone use the terminology “sovereign grace” you know you are dealing with a deceived calvinist who has bought into a false gospel that intentionally over-emphasizes grace while ignoring divine holiness and justice and the God-given conditions for abiding in Christ. Cross-less. Rebuke and run if they don’t repent – which they most likely won’t because they are intoxicated with this delusion. Calvinism is a system, a set of doctrines of devils that grossly misrepresents Christ and His original Gospel! Calvinism and the Devils who Peddle it Busted!

If Free Will is True (and it is), Calvinism is Patently False (and it is)

As we read further, as we read and equally consider all of Scripture and continue to have the Holy Spirit mesh or properly set the tapestry of the divine will…. The more fuller picture emerges. One thing we begin to realize is that what the calvinist does is refuse to consider the biblical term “foreknowledge” …. God foreknew yet never did nor ever will tamper with the free will He sovereignly gave each man to choose ye this day whom ye will serve (Josh 24:15)…. Calvinism grossly perverts the character of God and the original Gospel by it’s intentional overemphasizing of certain things and purposeful ignoring other things.

Calvinism is demonic as well as those who espouse this evil system of hatred and futility (1 Timothy 4:1). None of those Romans verses they misuse mean or say that God tampered with the free will HE gave men… as if He foreordained that some go to hell as well as forcing His “elect” into His kingdom against their own free will. Calvinists read into the text. They are indoctrinated from small children with this diabolical system.

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15

“But if the word of God foretells that some angels and men shall be certainly punished, it did so because it foreknew that they would be unchangeably [wicked], but not because God had created them so.” Justin Martyr- c. 100/114AD – c. 162/168 AD.

The LORD makes a crystal clear distinction between Himself, the one true God, and the idolatrous worship of all false gods, which are of Satan (1 Corinthians 10:19-21).

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

Calvinists for example, insist upon blaming the LORD in their false theology instead of simply realizing that God gave man a choice – “CHOOSE you this day whom ye will serve” – He sets before His people “life and death, blessing and cursing” and desires that we “choose life, (so) that both thou and thy seed may live:” (Deuteronomy 30:19)

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deuteronomy 30:19

Can’t blame God for the wrong choice man made in the Garden that caused the fall of mankind, nor for the bad choices that mere men have made since then. Here’s how the LORD says things go down:

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 BUT every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15

Here the LORD blames men for their sin, not Himself. Any person who is espousing a theology that blames God instead of sinful men, is under the power of “the spirit of antichrist.” (1 John 4:1-3)

Calvinism is a doctrine of devils, “another gospel” and those who peddle it are “accursed” and it doesn’t matter how Christian are sincere or well meaning they may appear (Galatians 1:6-9).

Satan will give people a million pounds of truth to kill them with that one ounce of poison. But calvinism has ample amounts of poison and no one who holds Scripture as final authority could possibly buy into it. “A little leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” (Galatians 5:9) Here is a library of posts exposing the roots and false doctrines of calvinism. Calvinism

Faith with Humility: When Love Replaces Judgment [podcast]


“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.” Galatians 5:6

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”  Matthew 5:44

“Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” Romans 13:10

“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13

“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.”  Colossians 3:14

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-8

How to Give Alms, Pray, Forgive Others, Fast, and Lay Up Treasure in Heaven [podcast]


Breakdown of Jesus’ Teaching in Matthew 6

  • How to Give Alms.
  • How to Pray.
  • The Essential of Forgiving Others.
  • How to Fast and How Not to Fast.
  • The Importance of Laying up Treasure in Heaven.

Matthew 6

Giving to the Needy

“1  Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2  Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3  But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4  That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.”

The Disciple’s Prayer

“5  And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11  Give us this day our daily bread.

12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

Fasting

“16  Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17  But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

18  That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.”

Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

“19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

22  The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23  But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

24  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

Fear Not

“25  Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26  Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27  Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28  And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29  And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

The Core Values of the Modern Church Agenda Exposed [podcast]


Lots of occultic symbolism in the art below.

The “church growth” industry is a multi-million dollar enterprise with books, seminars, selling sermons, etc., on how to build a large church, how to grow the nickels, noses, and numbers. Is this what Jesus had in mind when He stated “I will build my church”? (Matthew 16:18)

“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23

Do you spend more time in “church” than in the Bible itself? Wow! Red flags flying!

“Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.” 2 Peter 3:17

So you are listening to some slick talker preach and yet he’s not using the BIBLE essential words like hell, repentance, holiness, the cross, the blood of Jesus, the return of Christ, etc? Repent and RUN!

The vast majority of so-called pastors today are more interested in getting you to join their church club, to become a member of their church, than they are about truly feeding the flock of God with the whole counsel of Scripture, equipping you for ministry, and winning souls to Jesus (John 21:15-17; Acts 20:20-32; Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.). Prove it wrong.
