The Cult of Calvinism and its Uninspired Men vs the Bible

- As a follow up to my video last week about 6 Reasons Calvinism is a Cult, this video explains why Calvinism has a false gospel when we look closely at their TULIP theology and I illustrate how Charles Spurgeon and their "giants of the faith" who popularized Calvinism and defended its theology fed this arrogant cult-like view of its supposed superiority and exclusivity as having a monopoly on Biblical truth but they rejected crystal clear Scripture. I also show how Calvinism cannot be reconciled with 1 John 3:23,24 and the commandment of God to believe in Jesus Christ.

Thank you for speaking out on this!
I left a church a few years ago because I rebuked the pastor who was trying to weave Calvinism into the gospel. I explained to him just how corrupt this reformed view is and how it actually slanders God good character.
Coming from a family of Jehovahs Witnesses I have a pretty good (cult meter) you are right to say Calvinism is a cult. Keep up the good fight for the true gospel brothers and sisters!
God Bless!😁
My Pastor quotes Ephesians 2: 8, 9, then he always says that faith is a gift from God.
That's weaving Calvinism into the gospel message.
I said that is only partially true.
God in fact draws all men unto Him and He gives a measure of faith to *every man* , it's then up to us to decide where to place our faith.
God certainly doesn't pick and choose to save some and damn others.
@@colonalklink14 Faith is a gift: Many examples of this in scripture.
1. Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." This verse emphasizes that faith is not something we generate on our own; it is given to us by God as part of His grace.
2. Philippians 1:29 - "For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake." Here, the ability to believe (have faith) is described as something that has been granted, or given, by God.
3. Romans 10:17, which says, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
This verse highlights the process by which faith is developed in an individual. It emphasizes that faith arises when a person hears the message of the Gospel-the Word of God. The act of hearing the Word of God, whether through preaching, reading Scripture, or other forms of communication, is what sparks and nourishes faith in a person's heart.
This verse complements the idea that faith is a gift from God. While God is the one who grants faith, the means by which He often does so is through the proclamation of His Word. When people are exposed to the message of the Gospel, the Holy Spirit works in their hearts to bring about faith. So, faith comes both as a gift from God and as a response to hearing His Word.
The real slander to God is saying He can't save you without your choice. If you choose God, sinners choose Hell. Does it make you feel better that people choose eternal damnation? Does it help you sleep thinking you're better than others because you chose right?
@@Mathetesofscripture Your false god is the author, perfector, and finisher of sin.
"Whosoever will let him take of the waters of life freely."
"God is not willing that any should perish but that all may come to repentance."
@@colonalklink14 Not what is taught.
I. God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass, (Eph 1:11; Rom 11:33; Hbr 6:17; Rom 9:15; Rom 9:18): yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin, (Jam 1:13; Jam 1:17; 1Jo 1:5); nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established, (Act 2:23; Mat 17:12; Act 4:27-28; Jhn 19:11; Pro 16:33).
Calvinist seem to love saying, Jesus was a failure if he didn't save everyone. That's the same old humdrum as usual. Jesus was 100% a success at saving whosoever will. It would appear that calvinism itself limits Christ's atonement.
Why don't the jews believe?
Who don't the j-ws believe?
When they say that tell them they’re too man-focused. Jesus died to satisfy 100% of God’s requirement of justice for sins, and he accomplished that 100%. God was 100% satisfied.
@@TheRomans9Guy why aren't the jews saved then?
@@Mathetesofscripture Some do believe, the ones that don't believe is for the same reason as the Gentile, they loved the darkness rather than the light.
Those that have been in a cult like myself for 10 yrs. Can see the cult collectivism of Calvinism……I was in it for 3 yrs and began to see the heresy of it as well as the Holy Spirit leading me out of that false doctrinal system…..
Every cult will state they have cornered the market of the gospel as well as the arrogance of cults as well…..
Yes. Question their doctrine with a Calvinist leader and watch what happens. Worse yet, leave their church and most will do the shun show typical of majority of cults.
@Jesusisking235 the Bible literally tells you to shun people in 1 Corinthians 5
@@Mathetesofscripture So shun a born-again believer who leaves a Calvinist Church to go to another church? So if you don't stay in the Calvinist clan you are to be shunned because you go elsewhere? Wow.
@Jesusisking235 thats not what I said. You use strawman yet again. The bible says shunning is acceptable and therefore it's not just the practice of cults.
And yet, here you are listening to a man that claims to have a monopoly on the truth.
I came across a solid refutation of limited atonement today in one of Sam Shamoun's videos. At the Last Supper, Jesus looked at Judas Iscariot and said: "This is my body broken for you. This is my blood shed for you."
Sam Shamoun has so much truth yet he's completely wrong on the gospel message.
Sadly 😔.
I used this verse to refute a Calvinist.
He changed the text, claiming Jesus meant his blood was shed "for you all that are mine."
@@primeobjective5469. Exactly, of course he twisted n added to scripture because they don't have any respect for anything it says that refutes them
@@CecilSpurlockJr. Listen to your pride. Calvinists don't talk this way about you.
Do you believe in the age of accountability?
Keep going, brother! Don’t give up! I think you are fighting against one of the most wicked lies ever given to mankind! The gnostic, doctrine of Augustine, and John Calvin, and now, John Piper, is a slimy attempt at attacking God‘s character! My God and my father are good All the time!
And the sad truth is that the majority of people in Christian church pews have zero clue on Calvinism and it’s upside down theology.
Problem started with the satanic cult of sola scriptura a man made tradition invented by a devil possessed man and Calvinism is just a part of it.
How is God’s character attacked?
@@justsomeguy9192-hx7jv these problems started ever since the satanic cult of sola scriptura a man made tradition invented by a devil possessed man was introduced just five hundred years ago and Calvinism is just a part of it

You're doing a great job on the false teaching of Calvinism. The LORD bless you and keep you.
Thanks very much! God bless you!
You’re doing a great job wrongly dividing the word of truth. Please stop.
@@davidbradsher8460 with all due respect to all who believe in the Calvinist theology, Why? I'm not a novice in the Word of the LORD, and I have not studied the Scriptures pertaining to Calvinism. I heard John Piper talk about it over the years he's a leading proponent of Calvinism and I've heard Leighton Flowers channel, he openly rejects the teaching along with this channel. Just listening to Piper try to explain will give you a headache, secondly because we (humanity) are so prideful and sinful in my opinion Calvinism could easily deceive someone and cause them to be self deceived in my opinion. I mean you're testifying to someone about the loving kindness of God and ultimately you end up telling them that Oh, by the way Jesus may not have died for you, you had to be predestinated (preselected) from the beginning. I'd walk away asking myself wow am I going to go to eternal hell because I'm not predestinated? That would be hard to endure for the rest of one's natural life wondering if they were chosen? Wow! Many people already hate God, if they didn't beforehand they may after listening to that teaching; leaving them in serious fear of the eternal destination. Man the Calvinist teaching breaks my heart.
@@faithonfireministries
Isn't calling Calvinism a "cult"... projecting onto believers in Calvinistic theology... the errors of what YOU believe..?..
you see it works both ways....
@@faithonfireministries
being a Calvinist... and having been one before I Even knew what the Calvinistic theology was... I have Yet to see where any parts of Calvinism disagree with what the bible teaches..
I was never taught Calvinism... nor did I read anything from John Calvin before hand...... I just "stumbled".. onto what I believe by reading and studying the bible... then one day.. I ran into some of what John Calvin taught.. and I said to myself..."Oh ... so THAT is what they call it"... here all along... I thought that the Holy Spirit was leading me into a new truth and opening My eyes alone to see the wonders of God...
I was surprised to discover that 400 years ago some person by the name of John Calvin already had this mapped out...
the neat thing about all of this is... I was finding out things.. in God's word.. and then I realized by God pointing me to Calvinism theology.. that
God's plan was at work... I am in awe of how God works..
Imagine... showing me His truths... and THEN finding there is a name for this...
what I cannot understand.. is why God hasn't opened up MORE people's eyes to the truth...
perhaps John Calvin.. IS correct.. in his views of unconditional election...?
Like all cults, they view the Bible through the lens of their beliefs instead of allowing the Bible to judge their beliefs. Great Channel, keep up the good work.
Yes, well said. God bless you!
Calvinism is not a cult. Name a false belief that Calvinists believe.
I'm still laughing at the claim that God never intervenes. I serve a God who intervenes. So, they must serve a different God.
No one said God never intervenes. The claim by non calvinists, is that God is intervening because he is reacting to events as He learns them. God is eternal and not held to a temporal existence. He knows all from beginning to end.
I am still laughing at the fools who try to sound smart but keep making really dumb comments.
@@davevandervelde4799 I have the two videos where it is said "God never intervenes." I've noticed that people like to argue without knowing what they are talking about.
@@hotopolis Temporally or eternally? In other words, mans view or Gods view? You need to know the difference.

Not dumb
Just ignorant
@@davevandervelde4799I think you need to check all the alternatives to Calvinism before speaking, and especially calling others ignorant.
What you said here is similar to saying "all non-Cessationists have Kenneth Copeland as their pope." Or that all non-whites are black.
Reminds me of the good-ol days when all non-Calvinists were Arminians (something to which some in your camp hold to to this day).
So please direct some of that laugh at yourself and relax. You are the only 100% ignorant in here, sadly.
Idol Killer and Leighton Flowers, the big bad wolves that Calvinists check under their bed for certainly don't view this topic the same, brother.
Thank you for always sticking with the word of God and not with deceitful men. thank you for all the work you’ve done whilst always giving glory to the lord God.
John Calvin followed the word of God and not the deceit of man.
There was a woman in my church who suddenly became a calvinist. She started to convert people in the church the way they do. She also tried to convert me too during a time I challenged her beliefs. As spewing her false doctrines on me she suddenly became as if possessed by a demon. I was shocked and realized this is some kind of demonic deception. It's definitely not of God.
Totally agree!
Please inform me of what "false doctrines" Calvinists teach.
Calvinism is a form of gnostic heresy.
100% correct.
Not true. Slandering people is not love.
@@Mathetesofscripturereread" 1st Timothy 4v6..
WARNING is LOVE!!!!
@johnmorgan7947 I agree that warning is love. What the people in these comments have is pure hatred, though. To hate your brother is murder, and many people here are full of hate because someone thinks differently. Explain how calvinism is gnosticism please.
Calvinism claims to have a deeper knowledge of scripture that is not biblical. That is gnostic. Look it up.
Agreed (believe so simple), i have actually read someone comment from a calvinist claiming faith is an irresistible gift. Hmm so i guess they think a gift needs to be irresistibly received for God to get the glory, which leads down a further rabbit whole. The way you plainly point this system out is great.. What i always find odd are those who want to argue me into calvinism "as if" my rejection of this system wasn't in eternity past foreordained in their perspective of who God is. Nah, humanity never lost their "ability" to choose or reject Him
The most dangerous aspect of calvinism to me is that they have all the same words, but not the same meanings, so often it takes time to see through where their trust lies.
Thank you for your videos! We have come out of several false teachings already including word of faith and now we found ourselves at a reformed church we didn’t realize. We are so discouraged and don’t know what to do now. We live in West MI where it’s so full of reformed theology. Please pray for us!
Happened to us as well. Went to around 9 different churches until we found a good fit. Take your time and learn along the church seeking journey.
The only true worship I enjoyed over the past five decades was in ongoing home gatherings with a few fellow Believers. "Churches" are businesses, partnered with the govt, and staffed by cookie cutter seminary graduates of whom many are unsaved hirelings. I would urge you to pray to find a few Believers who are also disenchanted, and meet together - where two or three are gathered in His name, He'll be in your midst.
Stay at home and love God,,peace will rule your heart,

@@Krista1979 providence has placed you there. Rejoice.
another winner !!!! 9:50 BINGO !! Here's the quote from R.C. Sproul on salvation in Calvinism... very telling.
Dr. Sproul was asked to respond to the polemic accusation that salvation under Calvinism is no more than 'spiritual rape'. He responded that he did not appreciate the term... but he could not dispute the sentiment. Sproul wrote; "I personally do not like the term “rape” for the Reformed position concerning regeneration (i.e being born again) prior to belief. Yet with that said, I think I understand why non-Reformed folk invoke the term, for despite protestations, when one breaks down Reformed soteriology, one is left with the fact that regeneration occurs against the will of the unregenerate sinner-the sinner has NO CHOICE in the matter; as such, there is some truth to the claim that it is “a forced love”." SO... RAPE... BECOMES... 'FORCED LOVE'🤔😎...Try telling that to a victim some time.
Dr. Sproul agrees with it but like to say it 'nicer'.😎 Which is typical of Calvinists when confronted with their own doctrine in 'plain' terms'.
"Forced Love" is NOT love. And our Heavenly Father, who is the very personification of 'Love', (a noun), would know the difference! It would not be satisfactory because it is no more than deception. Calvin also explained apostasy as God imposing Evanescent (false) Grace/faith on some which is later withdrawn that their eternal punishment be even greater.... because God never really loved them anyway. If "Total Depravity" is true there is no other way to explain a former believer who denies their faith later.... god 'did it'. They can't trust their 'faith' anymore than the God they think gave it to them! These descriptions of God are unavoidable in Calvinism and they are diametrically opposed to the nature of our Heavenly Father as Jesus portrayed him and as Paul describes him in 1 Cor. 13.
Calvinists have God slipping man a 'mickey' to make him think and act 'as if' he loves God because he cannot risk the rejection of a man who might freely refuse him.
"Love does not insist on its own way."
-1 Cor. 13:5
Calvinisms doctrine of Irreisisble Grace is already refuted.
@@primeobjective5469 🎯👍I always like reading that chapter and replacing Love with God. It reads great ...undoes Calvinism's view of God
excellently!
Calvinists know that the faith that God demands we have came from GOD Himself! Hebrews 12:2 "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the AUTHOR AND PERFECTER of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Arminians believe that THEY are the author and perfecter of their faith. Arminians don't believe that God chose them, they believe that THEY chose God! Arminians believe that wretched, ungodly, vile sinners can choose to follow God by their supposed free will.
@@AVB2-LST1154 It is God who saves. But God has promised to save whosoever will believe. Calvinism denies men the ability to accept a free, undeserved gift which can not be earned and then claims they are bragging if they do. There is no verse or passage in proper context which ever establishes anyone is "born" unable to respond positively to God or the Gospel when confronted with it. It's Calvinism's "missing Link".. it does not exist. Yet, all of TULIP is built upon that false premise.
There is nothing to say a man in bondage to heroin cannot accept or seek help. There is nothing to say a man in prison cannot choose to walk out of his cell when the door is opened.
The claim of Calvinism that no man can or ever would accept Christ unless and until God effectually causes it, is unfounded. BUT... if it were true you would have to agree that any man who professes faith in Christ only demonstrates God's perfect will... AND any man who later abandons that same profession, regardless of when, is also demonstrating God's perfect will and his apostasy is just as decreed by God as was his former profession.
Calvin knew this about his doctrine, and called it "Evanescent Grace". I.e., God intentionally gives some men 'fake' 'temporary' faith, never intended to last but to literally make their punishment greater in eternity for having tasted it to begin with! AND... this temporary faith is Totally Indistinguishable from 'genuine' faith... no one can tell the difference until it's gone. THIS IS TRUE, in case you are not familiar with it. I didn't make it up.
I'm sure you're well meaning, and I do not doubt your love for God or your sincerity. But you're not thinking this through. The problem now becomes... if God does this to some... who is next?? You are not guaranteed the 'gift of perseverance'. Only the 'truly' elect get that. But, no one can ever know if the 'have it yet' or if they will 'get it' until they are dead. No one can never know for certain if they are truly "elected" to be saved... or not. Calvinism affords no such assurance. Calvinists are 'dying' to find out... literally.
You can try to claim inward 'knowing' or examine your life for 'evidence' of Christian thoughts and activities, but these are no less decreed than the faith already in question. And it all may disappear tomorrow.... or 20yrs from now.
They literally worship a God who cannot be trusted to love any one specific individual.
Personally, I am saved because I heard the Gospel and I chose to accept it and believed it. over 50yrs ago. Never looked back, never doubted. Not that a man has no reason to doubt, but like Paul said I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep what I have committed to him. I believe God can be trusted to honor his word and save whosoever is willing to believe he is.
On the other hand, a Calvinist is taught he had nothing to do with the faith and salvation which was "forced" upon him... But, as I said before, even John Calvin understood his own faith might just be a mirage.... no one can ever know for sure if their faith is genuine, or just a dirty trick.
@@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT Quote "There is nothing to say a man in bondage to heroin cannot accept or seek help." What has bondage to heroin have to do with salvation unless you are tying it to the bondage all sinners have, bondage to the prince of the power of the air, the evil one? EVERYONE is or was under his power UNTIL they receive Christ. IF they do that, they are now free from satan's bondage. 1 John 5:19 "We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one." Romans 3:11 says "There is NONE who understands: NONE who seeks for God." Unsaved mankind wants A god, but not THE God of the bible. See also Psalm 14:2 & 3 and Psalm 53:2 & 3 which says the same thing as Romans 3:11 yet all Arminians claim that they sought for God and they found Him. Here I was under the impression that WE are the one's who are lost, not God.
Quote "The claim of Calvinism that no man can or ever would accept Christ unless and until God effectually causes it, is unfounded." John 3:27 "John answered and said, A man can receive NOTHING, except it be given him from heaven." NOTHING would include receiving Christ. The ONLY way anyone can receive Christ is for God to give him the gift of salvation found in Christ and He did this before the foundation of the world.
Quote " No one can never know for certain if they are truly "elected" to be saved... or not. Calvinism affords no such assurance." Baloney, Arminians are the daisy Christians, He love me, He loves me not. Calvinists believe what the scriptures proclaim as found in Ephesians 1:4 & 5 " He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Having predestined us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will." It was God's will to save us before the foundation of the world and He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us. Once saved always saved because God cannot make a mistake or take back salvation. To do so means He made a mistake.
Quote " Personally, I am saved because I heard the Gospel and I chose to accept it and believed it." You said "I" heard and "I" chose and [I] believed it. If you actually believe this God didn't save you, you saved yourself. God didn't choose you, you chose Him! The Arminian doesn't thank God for salvation, he thanks God that he was smarter, or more righteous, or more spiritual than those ugly sinners. Personally I am saved because God chose me in Christ before the foundation of the world. He predestined me to adoption and I praise Him every day for choosing me. I couldn't and I didn't choose God. There are over 60 passages of scripture that say God chooses, has chosen us, has predestined us has elected us and so forth. There is not even one passage of New Testament scripture that says we have a free will to do anything except SIN! NONE! NOT ONE! Free will is a pie in the sky lie from the father of lies. BUT free will is found in the Old Testament!!! There are only two problems though, the Jews were "God chosen people" and God's chosen people have a free will whereas those who are NOT God's chosen people do not, and secondly, EVERY TIME free will is mentioned it is followed be the word offering.
I am and will be forever thankful that God "forced" me to be one of His children, one of His elect, one of His children of the promise as found in Romans 9.
We preach Christ and Him crucified. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
I am a Calvinist
I follow the doctrines of grace because after years of studying the Bible and different theology, reformed theology makes most sense to me of who God is.
On a completely personal level I can testify that I came to faith by a working of the Holy Spirit. I hated God and had no time at all for Jesus, then one day the Lord came for me in a profound way. I can testify His grace is truly irresistible as I went pretty much kicking and screaming into repentance. When I saw my sin and saw how it offended God I repented on the spot. It was all of God and nothing of me.
Can I ask a question? If Calvinism is a cult then does this charge stand for those who hold an Arminian position or molonist stand point? What about new earthers over old earth creationists? What about cessationists or continuationists? Surely none of the above are a cult but a theological stand point?
By the way I started out in a Pentecostal church but left those circles as reformed theology made more sense to me.
Thank you for saying not everyone in cults is not a Christian. After I spoke with Christian leaders from my town back in 1999, it was ONLY the Mormons who told me of repentance and the atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross. God used that! Over the past 25yrs I have went from mormonism to calvinism to saved by grace through faith. Praise God we don't have to have it all figured out for the Holy Spirit to regenerate us!!
Any theological doctrine that people have to be dragged into kicking and screaming, or by stealth, is not of God.
Exactly!
Problem is with the satanic cult of sola scriptura a man made tradition invented by a devil possessed man and Calvin was just a part of it
People aren't dragged kicking and screaming? Your belief that people HAVE TO CHOOSE THEMSELVES is dragging them kicking and screaming. You tell them: "better make the right choice or you will burn forever!" Whatever helps you sleep at night ig

@fourthplateau944 Your calvinist non elect are dragged to hell - Predestined since birth.
For the Calvinist, how can there be sin when EVERYTHING that happens is caused by God? If EVERYTHING happens according to God's will and His will is ALWAYS being done, there can't be sin unless God is sinning. I am NOT saying God is a sinner, but the Calvinist by implication, is.
@@doulos9828My problem is with hyper Calvinists like James White who says God causes or determines EVERYTHING. He once said if a man brutally rapes a young girl, God caused it. Otherwise, it is just a meaningless random act. SORRY, the God of the Bible who "is love" did not cause that brutal rape. Joshua 24:15 says, "CHOOSE you this day whom you will serve." Revelation says, "WHOSOEVER will, May...drink freely of the waters of life." God says, 'I have put before you life and death, CHOOSE life " I could go on and on. God CLEARLY, calls us to choose right from wrong, light from dark, life over death and ultimately He calls us to CHOOSE Christ. Notice Jesus says, No one can come to me unless the Father DRAWS him." It does NOT say, "...unless the Father causes, determines, or forces him."
@@MB777-qr2xvGod has determined the beginning and the end. God sees and knows everything from past present and future. Omniscience. He is outside of time. Our days are numbered.
@@abuelb God does indeed know everything, but HE says this in Jeremiah 19:5, "...they have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I DID NOT COMMAND or speak, nor did it come into My mind."

Calvinism's faulty claim of No Free Will for humanity is nothing more than the Enemy's projection of his own condition unto humanity. The Devil and his minions made their choice and forfeited any other choice for themselves. For them no other choice is left open, nor is there the choice to return or receive redemption. Christ did not die for them. He only died for fallen humanity.The Devil and his cohorts stand condemned already. In stark contrast to the Enemy, humans have that choice available to exercise their Free Will and to return of their own accord to Christ and thus be saved. Redemption is still open for humans. It is no longer open for the Enemy. This infuriates the Enemy and so the ridiculous narcissistic gaslighting attempt to heap his own lost condition (one of total depravity, no redemption , no more choice to return and only ever deeper depravity until the Judgement comes) onto humanity. He is performing a vile and twisted switcheroo in the minds of those who let themselves be deceived by the evil one's projection of his own condition onto humans.

This is so true about what you said in your intro. Just because there are Christians in these "Denominations"/"Cults" doesn't necessarily mean that they are not "real" Christians. I personally used to be a part of a very Legalistic church and God miraculously shook that church toward the truth of Grace. My wife and I have since moved on toward Grace and Kingdom of God preachers and teachers. Ironically though, God once corrected me on this very thing when I heard a Catholic declaring how much he loved serving Christ and in my heart I said, "yeah but you're a Catholic, you're not a 'real' Christian" and immediately I heard God speak to me in my heart and say, "Don't LIMIT who my children are!" I said I was sorry for saying what I said but I never forgot what God said and even what my own experience taught me. God knows who His kids are and that's why I believe channels like this are so important. Tell His kids the truth in love and allow the Holy Spirit to do the rest. Keep going Faith on Fire and just keep allowing the Holy Spirit lead you.
Denomination and Cults are definitely different. One could be in a denomination that teaches error, and still be saved, depending on what they're false teaching was..
A cult, (which definitely would include the Roman Catholic Cult) which butchers the Gospel and the way to salvation, and including idols...no, that's not a place God's children would reside.
There's no Biblical evidence to the position you've claimed as spoken by God.

IF we deny Him he will deny us.
IF you walk away from the Savior rejecting Him you are damned.
He will renounce you. Matthew 10:33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.
2 Timothy 2:13
IF we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself. It does not mean He will remain faithful to you otherwise deny in v-12 would mean nothing. IF you are faithless and throw it away, you're not a believer. He is faithful to Himself.The way he vindicated Himself is by throwing you out. God values His trustworthiness and IF you decide I'm going to go my own way to a life of sin you no longer trust in Him.
He's faithful to the worth of His name.The way God vindicates His trustworthiness to those who reject it, its called hell.
Don't fool yourself with your unbelief by thinking God's still faithful to me He is faithful He cannot deny Himself,that's who He is faithful to.
IF you hold to Jesus saying you are trustworthy you are everything to me, acknowledge you're just a hopeless sinner He cannot deny you. Your security is as firm as His allegiance is to His name.
In other words, you are relying on your performance and not his.
What Bible version is that. My KJV says something quite different which in that passage is distinguishing those who never believed vs those who have believed and become made new in Christ.
@faithonfireministries
Did you not say IF we become faithless He is still faithful to us?
2 Timothy 2:13 kj
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
Paul isn't saying IF you deny Him He will remain faithful to you.
He doesn't say Christ will remain faithful to you He cannot deny Himself, that's who He is faithful to.
Verse 12 says IF we deny Him He will deny us.
It's very clear
@@EugeneHolley-rc6ry
Do you consider it works to remain faithful to Christ and not deny Him?
That's what you are saying.
@@2Chronicles714_ The only thing I have seen in the scripture as to why faith is not considered a work is because it comes to us through the hearing of the word of God, it comes through the preaching of the gospel that we are to believe in order to receive the gift of God, eternal life. When it comes to 2 Timothy 2:12 it must be in the context it was written, look at the chapter from the beginning he is talking about being a good soldier of Jesus Christ, and not being entangled with the affairs of this life, and bringing the elect, which are his Jewish brothers in the flesh to salvation and there are people like Hymenaeus and Philetus trying to overthrow their faith. Faith is what we are dealt by God through his word in order to receive his grace, or as it says in Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace: to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed. This is the way it is written in Eph 2:8 We are saved by grace through faith, everything from God comes through faith, Romans 14:23 says whatever is not of faith is sin.
Christ truth vs false Calvinism
I’m pretty comfortably and confidently Reformed, and I was interested in hearing an alternate perspective, but man starting off the video explaining that it is a false gospel cult comparable to JW and Mormonism is actually insane. Sorry but please you need to remove your biases
I have lots of prior videos explaining why Calvinism / Reformed Theology is unbiblical and explaining why it is has a false gospel of election (they teach that everyone who is elect is universally going to be saved and go to heaven no matter what on the basis of their election unto salvation alone). And in those videos I don't even mention cults. However this is an important topic as well, to recognize that if it acts like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck.
Reformed churches do have a lot in common with what those other false religions that even they (Calvinists) would consider to be cults like JWs and Mormons who attempt to recruit Christians into their false belief systems.
In my last video I explained 6 reasons why Calvinism is a cult. If you are truly interested in an alternate view (the Biblical view) then put your own biases aside and go watch it. Other Christian denomination do not act like Calvinists do, and the hundreds of comments on the video confirm everything I said. Many people have noticed these traits of Calvinist churches. The Calvinists who tried their level best to discredit me or my message in the comments only ended up unwittingly confirming the points I made in the video by their own foolish cult-like statements.
@@faithonfireministries And all of your "reasons" are straw men arguments.
@@faithonfireministries Saying that Calvinism has a 'false gospel of election' is to commit a categorical error. As far as I know, according to scripture, a false gospel is a 'gospel' that teaches that a person must rely on something besides believing in Christ and His atoning work (and all that implies) for salvation. If you can back up your assertion, with scripture, that election is a form of false gospel, I'll consider it.
@@glpeters53Calvinism wouldn't be able to claim (according to their system) that 'faith' is even a necessary part of accessing salvation... since they believe faith is a result of regeneration (which has nothing to do with responding to God).
YES I'd like to see the extra commentary you mentioned!
You have helped me soooo much. I didn't realize how the things that Calvinists say & teach were the reason I had such a fatalistic (& burdensome) effect in my life. God bless you for teaching the real word of God!!
There are two human choices involved when Jesus said: "The love of money is the root of all evil" he already knew that Judas as the treasurer loved money more than he loved Him." This shows us CHOICE in at least two ways: 1. ROOT of all evil means it is something that GROWS, evil is something that is harbored and nurtured in someone's heart.And it grows from a tender sprout that could be discarded to a small plant that could still be taken out to finally the full grown entrenched plant. As humans we can choose to let evil overgrow us and choke off the good fruit. It illustrates the perpetual CHOICE humans have in letting the root grow or pulling it out. 2nd Choice: Finally, even if evil has overtaken a human, there remains still the choice: that of asking Christ to forgive us in His Grace (as Peter did after he denied Christ) or the choice that Judas made, to believe only in himself and his own failings rather than look at Jesus and His greater Grace.
This is a great point and reminds me of two verses in Scripture, so thank you.🌻
Hebrews 12:15 NKJV - looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
2 Corinthians 7:10 NIV - Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Our human choices align with God's predetermined plan.
Otherwise, how can he be sovereign?
@ryleighloughty3307 Indeed He is sovereign however sovereignty does not mean meticulous devine control as in calvinism. Those who have excepted the "free gift" of His mercy and grace 👉through faith👈 are now predestined ie. in Him Jesus is the key not Calvin nor the doctrines of grace. Catholics think Peter holds the keys, but he doesn't he was just a man God chose for a service, because he was listening and learning from the Father, but most of the religious Pharisees didn't recognize Him because they weren't. No secret now Jesus has risen and He is alive.
@@reg7916
Does God absolutely control what is happening in the universe now?
Does he absolutely know what will happen in the universe in the future?
@ryleighloughty3307 Sovereignty in Calvinism is set without genuine choice they have their own form of “free will” nothing happens unless every dust mite is controlled with in an infinite Creators mind in Calvinism i do not see nor trust this definition of sovereignty.. if I did then I would trust everything within His creation that appears to be granted (freedom) is not and it is unable to do anything other than what he/she was decreed to do.. so compatiblistic freedom literally does NOT exist, because they are bound to do what they were created to do... And I find this view of God to be a very narrow small minded view of who He is... simply put genuine love and any true relationship with meaning requires a choice. I do not believe I will wake up one day and poof be enlightened to trust this man centered esoteric baggage.. I simply see it as Augustine's slide back into gnostic practices and others following.
Colossians 2:10 NKJV - and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Wow. I did not know that Spurgeon made that kind of heretical statement. I am tossing out all of his writings from my house…
You may want to consider tossing anything written by a Calvinist.
Yeah Spurgeon is often called the "Prince of Preachers" As near as I can tell that's only because he was very eloquent. What actual fruits did he produce? Of course Paul warns us against eloquence alone: "I did not come to you in eloquence of speech but in demonstration of power by the Holy Spirit.."
Which proves again that we all need to be careful about what we read and who we listen to. Deception is rampant and Satan has his minions. Best to heed Jer. 17:5…”Cursed is the man who trusts in man…”
I wish I knew the truth about Spurgeon years ago…sigh:(
I came to trust in Jesus and when exposed to Calvinism, it immediately seemed alien to the Christ I came to know.
I passed it up right off.
If there's anything I despise it's gatekeeping the Gospel.
And Calvinism IS a gatekeeping philosophy to the Gospel.
Calvinists consider themselves to corner the truth of Christianity. Ever learning but never able to come to the truth.
Next thing I’ll hear is Calvinists are racists. Stop with the labels.
Then you, sir, do not understand the teachings of Calvinism.
I definitely agree with you that it is a cult. In my experience though, I think for the most part your average Johnny or Sally PewSitter who calls themself "Reformed" or who repeats Calvinistic phrases doesn't really even understand what they're saying. I think most of them don't actually realize what Calvinism is or it's repercussions. I think the lesson is, we really need to be able to analyze/discern what we're being taught, and know our Bible well enough that we can do so. Thanks for the video!
Bingo! Thanks. well said. God bless you!
Christians that truly know their bible are more likely to be Calvinists.
I adore the God Inspired vs. Not Inspired chart!! I'm going to type it up in big letters and hang it on the wall.
Thanks! I only wish I had thought of making that chart years ago. Oh well, but for this video it took me 5 seconds to think of it and about 5 minutes on the computer to make it. And yet, its so profound. This is what it boils down to when professing Christians choose who to believe, writers of Scripture inspired by God or writers of theology that were not inspired by God and wrote zero Scripture.
I didn't mention it... saving it for another video, but that uninspired list of people are the "Yea, hath God said..." bunch. Do you know what I am talking about from Genesis 3? Calvinists say, "Yea, hath God said for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life? No, God really meant He so loved the elect only.
That illustration between Scripture and what Calvinists teach can be repeated over and over again in the Bible.
@@faithonfireministries You nailed it with that chart!
John Wesley said that Calvinism makes God out to be worse than the devil. Notably, it's mostly because of Augustine that the doctrine of infant damnation took hold in the Church.
Very true. Thanks for sharing that.
Brian: *Breathes*
Calvinists in his comments section: Heresy!!
😂😂😂
Appreciate your effort to explain something that has been troubling me of late.
Why does Christianity have multiple "Systematic Theologies"?
Looking forward to more of your thoughts.
Please pray for my restoration I do have actual spiritual gifts from God
Romans 11:29 says, “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” “Without repentance” means that God won't change His mind about what He has called you to do. If God has called you, that calling is still there, whether or not you have obeyed.
Be encouraged! Many of us with children have been convinced to give gifts which we later regret..... God NEVER draws back from what he has given to his children.
In 2 Timothy 1:6 Paul says, "Therefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God which is in thee through the putting on of my hands". In this verse, the apostle Paul is telling Timothy to develop his own spiritual gifts and faith, even though he received them from others. The Greek word translated as "stir up" in this verse means to kindle a fire, similar to using bellows. The idea is that Timothy should keep his spiritual gift from growing cold and instead "stir it up" to keep it burning brightly.
Phil 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ"
God is Faithful.
Blessings and prayers .
I’m sure you do… but you are not a prophet, Ray.
Thank you Brian! You always are so encouraging. Love the way you explain things in a way that I wish I could. I learn so much from you. Please keep the videos coming. I pray God gives you wisdom and courage to ignore and answer the 'trolls'. God bless you.
You are very kind and I appreciated the encouraging words. Thanks! God bless you!
I was dead in my sin. Dead. I did not choose Him, He chose me. Therefore i have nothing to boast of in myself. If i chose Him, I could boast about my brilliance and look down on others as stupid if they don't choose God. Read Romans 9 to understand God's sovereignty. By the way, I don't follow Calvin, I follow God. Calvinism is simply an explanation of sovereignty, grace, and redemption.
Hi,
Could you also do a video on the “Calvinist discernment club”. Yeah, they have so much “discernment”, that they can’t even recognize the heresy they teach.
Calvinism also undercuts both the role and the power of Faith. Faith would be a mute point, null and void, made impotent through Calvinism. Even the Cross would be unnecessary if Calvinism was correct, because He could just ordain His supposed 'elect' few to follow him robot-like. No, instead God has elected for each one of us to be saved. Some, by faith in the power of the Cross, accept that calling and follow Him, others reject that calling. That is why he calls us to have faith in Him. Faith is not work, Faith is surrender to God and to His good Will for us and it is developed and increases over time.
I would LOVE to be a "robot" of God just as one man in the bible was. He is quoted in the bible quite frequently! Here are a few passages about Him and a few of His quotes:
Deut 18:18 “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
John 5:19 "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner."
John 5:30 "I can of Myself do nothing… I do not seek My own will, but the will of the Father who sent Me.
John 8:28 “I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.
John 8:29 “For I always do those things that please Him.
John 4:34 “Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work."
”John 12:50 “Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”
John 17:13 “I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.”
The most wonderful robot of all, Jesus Christ.
Every cult base their false teaching on higher knowledge and when someone tells the cult that they are wrong the answer allways is the same that you do not understand sophisticated teaching of theirs and have no secret knowledge of things but bible sats that His doctrine is simple.Psalm 119:130 - Bible Gateway

@@faithonfireministries
When a purported Christian casts vitriolic aspersions on fellow Christians, should I not question their motivation?
Correcting bad theology and contending for Biblical truth is not vitriolic at all. It is the loving thing to do so others are warned about the dangers of that cult and don't join it. It is also loving to share this with even those in the cult in order that perhaps some of them will recognize their plight and return to the correct faith from Scripture. That does result in some of them getting triggered and upset because the truth of the Bible offends them. They want to follow the words of men, not the Word of God. We can go round and round over this all you'd like but I don't think we are going to get anywhere. Let's agree on this. I will keep preaching from the Bible and pointing out the false theology of Calvinism and you can continue to get upset about it and make baseless accusations against me as a form of defense.

Thank you, Yes, I'm so interested in your Genesis 1 video and a part 2 on this one.
Calvinists twist simple Bible verses around to fit their twisted thoughts and feelings.
As in Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Calvinists believe that the gift of God is Faith and is given to them by the Holy Spirit. 😮
As you said.
I am going through all of your videos and I really appreciate all your hard work and especially for presenting the true and clear Gospel of Jesus Christ unto Salvation.
Thank you 💕
So faith is NOT a gift from God? Hebrews 12:2 "looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." We are NOT the author (or perfecter) of our faith Jesus is.
James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." Faith is definitely a "good and perfect gift" and it was given by God.
Yep: 1:27 Imago Dei: mankind was made in God's own image! Does God have a Free Will? Yes! So either God was lying (God forbid) that He made mankind in His own image. Or God was truthful and we have Free Will as God tells us when He says we are made in his Image.
@Dr.CorneliaKratzer Good point, we have our own sovereignty and that is why the Lord always asks us to do certain things, he ASKS husbands to love their wives!
What you're overlooking is the Fall.
@robertwheeler1158 Calvinists overlooked the fall because you lot posit that your specially randomly selected elect were 'saved from the foundation of the world'
Overlooking the fall leads you to conclude that the elect DIDNT fall with Adam.
Including the fall, you would have to side with armininian loss of salvation 🫠
@@THEGOSPELISFOREVERYBODY No. You have it completely backwards. The Fall resulted in the total depravity of the entire human race and the necessity of salvation in Jesus Christ.
Calvinists try to use the Fall as an excuse to ignore this, but that just demonstrates how negligent they are of any part of Scripture other than the prooftexts they can twist to "fit" their manmade system. The Fall did not somehow remove God's image from humanity. It merely corrupted it. Otherwise God never would have said “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man." (Genesis 9:6)
Note that God declared this to Noah and his family after they left the Ark, over 1,600 years after the Fall had taken place.
Romans 10:8-10
New Living Translation
8 In fact, it says,
“The message is very close at hand;
it is on your lips and in your heart.”[a]
And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.
Calvinism is a lie from the pits of hell. I've listened to over 100 sermons from Spurgeon. I've never heard that in his sermons. I have never considered him a Calvinist. I do know he was reformed, and that can be completely different. I did hear him quote Calvin at times and also say that he care not what Calvin said. Meaning, he cares what Jesus says. God bless you
From what I've read of Spurgeon's writings, he seems to have been mistaken about what "Calvinism" actually is. He once stated that Calvinism was the Christian Gospel, a quote many internet Calvinists hold dearer than any part of the Bible. When one looks at what Spurgeon actually taught and what sides he took in various arguments, he wasn't nearly as "Calvinist" as he is made out to be, nor as "Calvinist" as he himself thought he was...
@@DamonNomad82 I agree 💯

Either calvinism was a lot different in Spurgeon's time, or Spurgeon was the absolute worst calvinist in the history of calvinism.
If Paul was here today, I think he would say:
what is it that I hear? someone told me there are quarrels among you?
What I mean is that each one of you say "I follow Calvin",or "I follow Luther", or "I follow Augustin", or "i follow christ",
Is Christ divided?
Did Calvin die for you?
Were you baptized in the name of Luther?
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you.
You explained this very well. Some Calvinists still won’t understand that they follow a MAN that wrote a book that was not inspired by God, WAS NOT. BUT yet they FOLLOW it. We’re suppose to just follow a man and not God (Jesus) and his apostles? Wow

@@HolyisyournameFair question - I dont go around telling people I am a calvinist, not because I am hiding it, but its irrelevant. I am first and foremost a Christian. I am called by others a Calvinist because I believe God saves people who don't deserve it, without their help. I believe in free grace, sovereign grace, and that just as I did not give consent to be born, I am not consulted to be born again. This is entirely the work of the Spirit of God according to his grace. I believe this not because Calvin taught it but because the Bible teaches it. I would be more than happy to go through the scriptures to show that salvation is of the Lord without a single reference to Calvin or any reformed confessions. I greatly appreciate Calvin, and have learned much from him but I don't "follow" him like he is my messiah. Even refoermed baptists who call themselves Calvinists differ with Calvin over baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Feel free to point out where he's wrong.
Maybe use your training in history, the biblical languages, the reformation, etc...
I've been saying calvinism is universalism but just on a smaller scale for years as people are saved against their will in both systems .
Calvinism or reformed theology is so far removed from universalism. Let me explain to you as well as this content creator who made such a bogus statement.
Universalism, within the context of Christian doctrine, is the belief that ultimately all people will be saved and reconciled to God. This view holds that God's love and grace will eventually overcome all sin and unbelief, leading to the salvation of every human being, regardless of their faith or actions during their lifetime.
Proponents of Universalism often cite verses such as 1 Timothy 2:4 ("[God] desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth") and Romans 5:18 ("Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men") to support their view. However, traditional Christian interpretations argue that these verses should be understood in the context of the whole Bible, which includes teachings on eternal judgment and the necessity of faith in Christ.
Universalism is often criticized within mainstream Christian theology as being inconsistent with the overall biblical narrative, which includes warnings of eternal judgment and the necessity of faith and repentance. Critics argue that Universalism undermines the seriousness of sin and the need for evangelism, as it suggests that everyone will eventually be saved regardless of their response to the Gospel.
So with all that being said, Universalism is a perspective within Christian thought that offers a hopeful vision of ultimate reconciliation for all people, which Reformed Theology denies.
@PastorJeffAddison obviously you didn't pay attention to what I have stated , because calvinism and universalism share the attribute I that I've said they did .
Cecil, you are 100% right. Universalism is what Calvinists teach. They will deny this until the cows come home because they will always say the only definition of Universalism is that everybody on earth no matter what goes to heaven and nobody goes to hell. That is NOT the only definition of Universalism. It is also universalism to claim that everyone who is unconditionally elected by God will be saved and go to heaven no matter what, and that is exactly what Calvinists teach.
Do you believe that people's will should trump God's will?
@ryleighloughty3307 you're either a female , or quite young aren't you .
I think anyone who teaches Calvinism, especially the stealth infiltrator Calvinist pastor, don't actually know God. And by virtue of them not actually knowing God I think it's safe to say they aren't saved and aren't Christian. After all, Jesus said coming to know God is everlasting life. If you know him you'd reject Calvinism as the wicked, satanic lie it is.
'Wicked, satanic lie'? Are you a Christian?

Isn’t me saying yes to the Gospel and turning my life over to Christ an action I can hang my hat on and say I accomplished where others have not?

The God of the Holy Bible (and of Calvinism) says the following:
Deut 32:39 "See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand."
1 Sam 16:19 “Then He [God] struck the [Hebrew] men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck fifty thousand and seventy men of the people, and the people lamented because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.”
Deut 20:16-18 “But of the cities of these peoples which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive, but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite..."
Joshua 11:19 “For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them…“
Job 42:2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted”
Daniel 4:35 "“He does according to his will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand!”
Psalm 115:3 “Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.”
Amos 3:6 “Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?”
Isaiah 45:7 KJV "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."
Arminians claim that ANYTHING evil is from Satan and not God. I guess they only read the wonderful and sweet passages about God but ignore the above passages. Here are a few more passages from Revelation:
Revelation 9:3-4-5 “Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions. They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.”
Revelation 14:9-10-11 ““Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name.”
Revelation 14:19-20 “So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and loaded the grapes into the great winepress of God’s wrath. The grapes were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse’s bridle.”
For a cult that is built around John Calvin, there are certainly not very many who can quote him or his teachings. Vanishingly rare are those who have actually read Calvin's Institutes. Maybe we should define cult.
Then there's the notion that Calvinists don't support their claims with scripture. Makes one wonder if you have ever read the Westminster Confession, the 1689 London Baptist Confession, or any of the so called Calvinist creeds. Those writings contain incredible amounts of scripture. And keep in mind, the confessions were meant to summarize their doctrines!
Honestly, I enjoy your videos and I could see us being friends, but the things you say about Calvinism and Calvinists don't have much to do with the truth.
(By the way, in response to my comments to your previous video you kindly put forward a slew of supporting verses. I am working through them. It has been surprising, so far, how many of them weaken your argument when read in context.)
I’ve read them all, including the prooftexts that are used to try to affirm them. You Calvinist keyboard warriors are all the same. You can’t help yourself but to call everyone who doesn’t agree with you stupid and uninformed or doesn’t understand Calvinism, or never studied a thing. you are totally puffed up with pride.
@@faithonfireministries Not once did I even suggest that you were stupid (or puffed up, arrogant, a "keyboard warrior," or anything of the sort). What I did say is that it does not appear that you have read the confessions of Calvinists, otherwise, why would you maintain that they do not back their claims with scripture? This is obviously not factual.
But since you are well informed of Calvinist writings and their proof texts, what is your explanation of the Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians, specifically chapter 1?
Here is the video of me discussing Ephesians 1: th-cam.com/video/rgP34l-mHEw/w-d-xo.html
@@doulos9828 Ya, it wasn't very becoming. But I get it, people don't like to have their convictions challenged. It's certainly not the first time I've been called names. I was in an atheist-theist discussion group for a about a year. Believe me, anti-theists are expert name callers 😲😆
How disingenuous! doulos9828 is indeed one of the regular keyboard warrior Calvinist defenders always hyper critical of every video on my channel he comments on, which is a lot of them for a long time now, so if anybody knows that I have read and even done videos focused on the WCOF in particular several times, have discussed paragraphs within the LBCOF, pointed out my copy of Calvin's Institutes and read quotes from within it, and have quoted from the Canons of Dort, given the history of how both Calvinism and Cessationism came about, it would be this doulos guy.
He is quite aware that the guy above is wrong about me but the glue that holds them together is Calvinism so he defends that guy despite the implication he wrote about me not knowing anything about Calvinist confessionals and creeds is easily and demonstrably a flat out lie designed to discredit me for opposing Calvinism. Most typical Calvinist begin a dialogue with any critic of Calvinism like that person above, outright saying or at least implying as he did that anyone who doesn't agree with Calvinism must not understand Calvinism and they must lack intelligence and lack any studying placing them way lower than these exalted giants of intellectual study. It is a weak argument when they are avoiding the problems of Calvinism they can't defend, so they just do personal attacks which usually are these made up lies and that behavior is typical of a cult member.
The more you guys respond on my channel the better because while it may be applauded by your fellow Calvinists, it sends a different message to every other Christian regardless of their denomination, that what you guys write corroborates everything I have been saying and warning everyone about. Thanks for your necessary contributions to validate my messages.
The Bible says, the believers were first called " Christian" according to the book of Acts, they weren't called Calvinist. Calvinism is a man made doctrine, because it's named after a man.
It sounds better than Church of Pagan Determinism.
Most of the New Testament was named after individuals. Are they also man-made doctrine?
Isn't calling Calvinism a "cult"... projecting onto believers in Calvinistic theology... the errors of what YOU believe..?..
you see it works both ways....
I am a christian and everynight i am watching you tube videos. At least 95% are about christianity and the comments people write. I dont waste my time watching tik tok goofy videos. I do it because i thirst for knowledge and i also do try to read the bible. What i have noticed is people saying, the catholic church, protestants, churchs of christ, seventh day adventists, calvinist churches, they are all wrong. Of course all these churches think they are right, which makes everything even more confusing. I am not talking about jws or Lds churches as we know they have some wrong theology. Of they think they right too! I am not a bible scholar or expert but this is my pov. You are not going to be saved or going to hell because you go to church 1 hr a week. Going to church is like the tip of the iceberg when it comes to being a christian. The most important thing is having a relationship with god and jesus. Also to try to live a good christian life. We may end up being in a church with not so great theology but the bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god. Many may disagree with me and that is ok.🙏
You’re misquoting and misrepresenting what Spurgeon said. Here’s the full quote since you cherry picked the part that would make it easier for you to misrepresent him:
I have my own opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. I do not believe we can preach the gospel if we do not preach justification by faith without works; nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in His dispensation of grace; nor unless we exalt the electing unchangeable eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah; nor do I think we can preach the gospel unless we base it upon the special and particular redemption of His elect and chosen people which Christ wrought out upon the cross. (Charles Spurgeon, The New Park Street Pulpit, Vol. 1, 1856).
Praying the Lord rebukes you and leads you in repentance from tearing down other believers publicly and seeking to cause division. May the Lord bring about unity in His body, the church, for the glory of His name and the good of His people.
Calvinists made that image and quote, not me. The full quote is just as bad and does not contradict the portion of the quote I showed, which I did not create or shorten myself but I took from posts Calvinists made.
@@faithonfireministries it absolutely contradicts what you were getting at. Spurgeon clearly says Calvinism is merely a nickname for the doctrines we find in scripture. You didn’t represent him as saying that. You’re just doubling down on your folly.
It is the folly of Calvinists who promote Spurgeon and their false theology that way, as the only valid one. Take up your argument with the Calvinists who spread that Spurgeon quote around so often. You say it is taken out of context, so that means it is taken out of context by Calvinists, and I just refuted their claim so you should be happy, because you are refuting the claims of Calvinists just like me, but you are foolishly misdirecting your rebuke to me instead of them whom you clearly have issue with.
@@faithonfireministries wrong again. Calvinists use the quote to promote what Spurgeon preached as a whole as well as to honor who he was. You’re using it to reinforce your misguided views which are to tear down what Spurgeon (and as represented in this quote as a whole) what the scriptures teach. Cherry picking a part of a quote because it makes it easy for you to demonize a person or group of people is cowardly. Everything Spurgeon says in that quote is exactly what scripture teaches. Calvinism is merely a nickname. Your entire “ministry” seeks to tear down an entire group of Christian’s that you don’t agree with. And in order to do that, you frequently misrepresent them and their views in order to satisfy your own lusts for controversy.
Oh, as I suspected. When Calvinists post that same image and Spurgeon quote to claim the Gospel is exclusively found in Calvinism, you are perfectly okay with that, but when I post the same image and explain it the same way, but to refute it, I am spreading misinformation and taking the quote out of context. You are two faced and not to be trusted.
Brilliant again thank you so much may Lord Jesus Christ be with you ❤
Do you actually have any exegesis to refute Calvinism?
@user-kc7xk6wy2z I agree.
@user-kc7xk6wy2z l agree.
@user-kc7xk6wy2z Agreed.
@user-kc7xk6wy2zTry again if you’re willing.
Yes, plenty. And since you asked, there is no exegesis of Scripture that supports Calvinism, but only eisegesis.
Who’s will is stronger and more powerful?
1. God’s will
2. Man’s will
The answer to that single question will end the debate forever.
Your question is misleading and designed to get people away from Scripture and to think philosophically instead. It is also designed for the obvious answer that since God's will is stronger, then the implication is that mankind has no will of their own at all, which is why the Calvinist ideology teaches that God's will is always what people do and that includes sinning, that God decrees each and every evil act and sin a person does because it is by design, scripted out since the beginning of time and we are all simply carrying out everything God has meticulously willed us to do. That is unbiblical and removes the role of Satan and deception and the desires (will) of our own weak flesh, and places all that squarely back on God which is blasphemous.
Also, your question bakes into it an unbiblical idea that God is NOT strong enough and NOT powerful enough to give His own creation (mankind made in His own image) a mind and will of their own, to which they will be accountable to Him.
A better question would be this... Since God has given each of us the ability to exercise our own will to even rebel against Him in sin but we will all stand before God one day and will be accountable for our sins, how has God provided for mankind to be forgiven of our sins so our sins are washed away so we are seen as righteous before Him, reconciled to Him and justified before Him? That answer is found in Scripture and is the Gospel of Christ and grace through faith.
This notion is ridiculous… that is, that Calvinism is a cult. Silly.
It only seems to be silly to the deceived cult member. When Christians call Mormonism a cult, I’m sure the Mormons would not agree with that assessment either. But it’s true.
@@faithonfireministries “Christians” don’t call Mormons a cult, the Church does according to the ancient creeds of the church. They deny the essentials of the Christian faith such as that there is One God among many other things. They are thus outside of orthodoxy for their denial of those truths and other beliefs that conflict with general orthodoxy. Calvinism does not fit into that box. Yet you keep throwing that word around like you have authority to do so. You are one man who has set himself up as a pope.
A pope? I do this channel in my spare time aside from my actual job and ask for nothing in return. There isn't even a way to donate to me. Some have offered and I have politely declined. Last I checked, the pope is a full time job and everything is provided for his living by the church. There is no church members giving to me. Also, last I checked the Calvinists you would lift up as great men of God are all in full time ministry making their living that way, by your faithful donations. You worship some popes alright and give them your money but you just haven't realized it yet.
@@faithonfireministries wow dude you missed that point.
Perhaps, but then why did you call me a pope? That was odd!
One aspect of what you are presenting shows the importance of knowing history.
I am a Calvinist and honestly you misunderstand our belief and therefore can't explain what it is. No Calvinist believes it because Calvin taught it. We believe it because it is taught in scripture.
I am afraid you are not aware you have Calvins glasses on when you read the bible.
Religious lie is one of the hardest one to become free from. But Jesus can and The Holy Spirit will help you.
@@anitassigmundsen2554 Okay. Let me ask you 4 questions
1. Do you believe in total depravity?
2. Please explain to me the meaning of John 6:37 without Calvin's glasses
3. Also John 6:44
4. Also John 10:29
1. Sitting on a deathbed with an 85 year old man, Jesus stretching his hand out for him the last time, he answered with cursing.
2. Context
3. Context
4. Context
Remember Jesus is here then, he has not died or risen yet, the Holy Spirit is not given on Pentecost to all who believe and receive. Later he prays I kept everyone you gave me, talking about his disciples@@iankip9362
If Calvin had not come up with this ridiculous heresy no one ever would read the scripture and come to that conclusion. Anyone that is a calvinist was taught that by man and not by reading the scripture Calvinism is heresy and absolutely ridiculous
@@TheHillrat4wd Hi, Augustin reached close to the same conclusions as Calvin over 1000 years before him!
Let me ask you 2 questions then
1. Do you believe in total depravity?
2. If Calvinism is false and a heresy, what is John 10:27-29 talking about?
Strong & solid truth Sir. Thank you! Praying for you & thankful for you. I’d love to hear your insights on Genesis 1 and how it refutes the Calvinist’s man centered and man generated summation.
Okay, thanks. A bunch of people have also responded requesting I do the Genesis 1 video so it looks like I got my next video topic. It will be out soon. God bless you!
Without free will you cannot love God, if Calvin-ism is true but one really loves God as God is just forcing you to love Him.
Baloney. The ONLY people who have a free will are born again Christians. Unsaved heathens DO NOT have a free will.
You can make practically any doctrine from one misinterpreted verse.
Amen on your first point Brian, fantastic
Is there a difference between the Calvinism of 50, 100 years ago then today's New Calvinism?
And i didny know Mr charles Spurgeon said dat... " Cal is da Gos" i am humbled n shocked n kinda disappointed ..but..
However... i ,together with Tons of others.. i Thank God For Jesus Christ
Yes would like to see your thoughts on Genesis 1 and Calvinism ; than̈k you for your clear teaching.
Okay, that is coming up next. God bless you!
Yes please, I would like to hear Genesis 1 used to refute calvinism. Thank you.
Okay, thanks. I'll make that video.
Make the Genesis 1 refuting Calvinism video.
Will do. Thanks
Yes. Amen
I'm new to this debate/argument but I do have a question; did Jesus choose His disciples, or did they choose Him?
Jesus had many disciples and chose 12 to be His Apostles. You are most likely thinking of John 6: 70 or John 15: 16 is which Jesus is speaking to the 12 Apostles. He didn't choose them for salvation but for service to a mission, to bear fruit (more believers) for the Kingdom of God. John 6: 70 clarifies perfectly that Jesus did not choose them for salvation despite Calvinists claiming so, Jesus saying to the 12 Apostles, "Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" That devil was Judas and he was chosen but not saved.
And in John 15: 16, it says that the 12 Apostles didn't choose Jesus, He chose them, but then the verse explains exactly what Jesus chose them for. The Calvinist lie is that Jesus chose them for salvation but that isn't true based upon the verse itself. Worse yet, the Calvinist lie extends beyond the 12 Apostles and they often cite the beginning of the verse only (You didn't choose me, I chose You) and drop off the rest of it and then claim this applies to us today, that nobody chooses Jesus, He must choose us as the elect unto salvation but no Scripture supports that.
Here is the full verse from John 15: 16, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."
11 of the 12 did what they were chosen for, to bring forth fruit that remains. That is us Christians and there are many millions around the world today, so they were chosen for a mission, not for salvation as one of them, Judas was chosen but failed to do the mission. Later, Jesus would give all Christians that same mission to go bear fruit that remains. We call it the Great Commission in the Bible, which is to preach the Gospel around the world and teach people to follow Jesus. All Christians are chosen to do this mission as followers of Jesus, but we are not forced by God to do it. We must choose to do it.
@@faithonfireministries I dont know nor do I particularly care about the specifics of Calvinism, I'm more interested in the Word than factions.
It would appear that He chose them for a stated purpose, but I was more focused that He chose them and specifically the word "chose" or Eklegomai in the Greek. It sounds like we would agree that He made a willful choice in choosing them.
I see the same word is used in Ephesian 1:4, so I can see where some would consider it arguable whether scripture supports that He chose the elect unto salvation.
Calvinists want you to come to that conclusion by isolating Ephesians 1:4 and reading it in a vacuum. I hope you will go back and read the entire chapter and in chapter 2 at least. Context is key to understanding what it means to be "in Christ" and what exactly is predestined, individuals to salvation or spiritual blessings in heavenly places to those who are already saved, in Christ. Read Ephesians 1:3 at least. That gives the context as to what is being predestined to believers. Verse 4 says nothing about the individual being chosen for salvation. It is the one who is "in Christ" that is already saved and they chosen (not to be saved) but chosen to be holy and blameless before God. Just read it again!
When we come to faith in Christ, God does not give some salvific gifts such as the adoption or justification by faith to some believers and different gifts to other believers or perhaps no gifts to some believers. Paul is explaining a list of spiritual blessings that extends over into even more spiritual blessings listed in Romans 8, that every single believer will receive from God because that was God's plan of redemption for mankind from before the foundations of the world.
Context continues into Ephesians 2 when Paul writes this, " 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."
Notice that people were not chosen to be "in Christ" from before the foundation of the world. Before they became believers with faith in Christ, Paul says they were "without Christ." So, Calvinism is totally perverting Ephesians 1: 4 to try to lend credibility to their false theology, and they are ignoring the actual words on the page and avoiding most of the chapter and avoiding reading on for the full context. This is a wise saying, "context kills Calvinism."
Yes, calvinism is wrong, unfortunately pentecostalism is wrong too, ive suffered great spiritual abuse under both belief systems.
I’ve always wondered is that a real sword in the background? Looks like a cool antique.
I am so happy you noticed it. That is a very unique sword that means a lot to me. It is my Dad's US Marine Corps sword. He died a few years ago and my Mom gave it to me knowing I would honor him and his love for the Marine Corps. He was a wonderful Dad and effective Christian who bore his faith on his sleeve unapologetically. So, I bought the display case and mounted his sword in my home office where you see it in the background of my videos. Semper Fi... It means always faithful.
@@faithonfireministries aww…thats beautiful thank you❤
Best to harmonise scripture with scripture to achieve a balance!
Free will, it's a real thing
Have you ever heard of a paper written by a Calvinist called "Feeling Repentance" ?
I looked into the body of this video for your email or some way that I could forward this to you, but didn't see anything.
First, please tell me if you have seen this and if not, maybe I could type it into your comment section.
It's so 😥 that my friend is believing in this and that she believes that she must turn from her sins to be Saved, oh, and then believe in Jesus 😢
Nope, never read that paper. Just type the link of that into a comment. TH-cam will automatically remove it from public view but it will end up in a "hold for review" section that I can view.
Such good teaching. The elect are His chosen people, the Jews, I believe as the believe on Jesus in the last days? If Jesus commanded to preach the Gospel, then Calvinist are completely contrary and disobedient to Holy Bible.
Yes. The people who slander Him the most are His people. You realize they write that Jesus is boiling in excrement in their Talmud right?
@@Mathetesofscripture I realize they are His chosen people through the covenant He made with Abraham. Through them would be delivered the Messiah and the new covenant. God expects us to bless them and not to curse them. He will judge each of us individually.
@tiffanyjames7150 Fine by me. You stand with the literal antichrists, I will stand with Jesus. The elect are the chosen, and only a remnant of Israel was ever chosen. That's in the Bible too ya know? God can raise offspring of Abraham from rocks if He wanted. That's in the bible.
@tiffanyjames7150 esau had promises too. What happened to his generations? Also, the Bible clearly says not all of Israel are really of Israel.
@@Mathetesofscripture Esau traded his birthright to Jacob, who was anointed Israel, through which was the lineage of Jesus. Esau’s descendants were the Edomites and eventually went against Israel. You are correct all of Israel do not serve the the Lord as true Jews.
Ephesians 1:34-14 tells us we are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise AFTER that you heard that word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom AFTER that you BELIEVED, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit. We are not born again or regenerated before believing, it is after believing. We are saved by grace through faith, not saved by faith through grace, they have it backwards. Faith is not the gift, salvation or eternal life is the gift. Romans 6:23 says the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, whatever is not of faith is sin, everything from God comes through believing his promises. Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith. as it is written, the just shall live by faith. Every doctrine of TULIP can be debunked by scripture, it all came out of Catholicism as did Arminianism which is unbiblical as well. Another good video Brian, I really liked the way you presented both sides by the writers of the bible and the writers of Calvinism.
I would love to see the chapter in Genesis, you are talking about
Okay, I'll do that video and post it very soon.
Yes, Genesis 1 would be good. Ty.
I don’t belong to a “camp”. I was unchurched except for cultural Americanized christianity. I thought I was saved because I was born here. That’s a lie. I began yearning to know God. That was not me. We know that because of Scripture. I went by choice to an SBC church and was gladly taken in with nothing more than a simple profession of faith that I did not even understand. God opened my ears to the the beautiful GOSPEL on His time. Not mine. The LAW convicts the sinner that is in delusion and the GOSPEL becomes GLORIOUS.
That is regeneration. No need for any additional prophets, signs or wonders because the GOSPEL is the power of God unto salvation. Oh glorious repentance - no longer trying to hide my sins but telling my Father how sorry I am and wanting to obey because He loves me and cares about me. Jesus paid for the sun I committed.
I don’t know what kind of camp you’d want to put me in but the constant belittling is tiring. Every false prophet will be exposed.
Jesus Christ is THE Lord. My High Priest. THE Savior. THE KING.
Unfortunately, Paul tells us that faith comes by hearing, Hearing the word of God.
Exactly.
Very good! Amen!❤
Actually, John Calvin may have had a little help from The Cathar Book of the Two Principles in the formulation of his theology.
Please list the top 100 proof texts for free will and top 100 proof texts for Calvin'sm
No, I don't respond to challenges. If you have 100 proof texts against free will or 100 proof texts for Calvinism, then you present them.
Bring on the Genesis one commentary, brother!
Amen ........absolutely.......exactly.......
John MacArthur seems to be the American hero. Every one who sides with him says he is a great speaker. Does not John teach from a Calvinistic point ?
Oh yes, MacArthur is big Calvinist. You need to watch this regarding him and stealth Calvinism: th-cam.com/video/1040ZETZFsY/w-d-xo.html
I love you brother. I agree that Calvinism isn’t true, however I don’t believe all Calvinistic preachers are heretics. That would imply that they are damned when there are some that are truly saved
I am glad you disagree with Calvinism. Do you believe there are some real Christians who are truly saved but then got a visit from some Jehovah's Witnesses with their own NWT Bible and resources and as crazy as it sounds, that person ultimately thought what they taught made sense and that Christian converted to their belief system and is now a JW? Or do you believe that conversion is evidence the person was never saved in the first place? If that is your view then likewise no Calvinist is a saved Christian either, but I don't agree with that. Now, to your point. Do you think that person was ever saved to begin with if they are not only converted to JWs, but the person becomes an influential leading voice and pastor in the JW religion?
We may disagree on this point, but I think those who pastor such churches were never saved and I believe they know they are unbiblical and they concoct all sorts of deceptions to convert Christians over to their belief system anyway, and they do it because they are cult leaders who want more cult followers. The same dynamic is true in Calvinism.
