Great Sermon! I found your message very interesting. When you spoke of reformed theology you always compared it to Hyper-Calvinism; when in effect, true Calvinism is not hyper. Your Christ is a potential savior, while the Christ of the Reformed is a true Savior who will save His people (Matt 1:21). Salvation according to your understanding exalts man and diminishes the character of God, while salvation according to Reformed Theology humbles man and exalts God.
Can you help me? I'm trying to find scripture that teaches that God bases His election of us on our accepting Christ. I would like to be able to defend this from the bible. Thanks
Great Sermon! After 11+ years of believing Reformed theology, I am thankful to God for rescuing me from this false theology last November. I was reading into scripture what was not there. By studying scripture more carefully, I found out what they really say as Pastor Calvert also explains in this sermon. I can attest that with 1 exception, the several Reformed churches I attended previously were not nearly as zealous in winning souls or talking about Jesus as the Non Calvinistic Independent Baptist church that I am a member of today.
Great Sermon! Thank you for your message.Briefly said I wish you would have explained by example how the Holy Spirit would enpower the Christian in the struggle with the lust of flesh ,temptations of the devil etc..You will make more fully equipped saints. Thank ypu for the overall informative exortation.
