GO ye into all the world and preach the gospel , he who beleives ............
GOOD thing the apostles actaully did this as did others and still others do so today .
But few they be . the harvest is ripe but SO FEW be the laborers ,
TIME WE PRAY for the LORD to send laboreres into the harvest , who gonna preach the dire need TO BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST .
cause we got us many false laborers who do the will of that which is of anti christ and preach rather interfaith and the lie
that will lead all to perdition . These so called peace makers of today who preach a false reconcilation
cause it sure AINT TO GOD , have more zeal for their lie and sadly so few have zeal FOR THE TRUTH of CHRIST JESUS .

Ps , the theory on how to starve and kill a mole . cut off its blood supply . YEAH that never has worked on me .
THE BLOOD OF JESUS covers me and we always have people reading
in fact the less folks interrupt and attack what i say , the far better for those who do read as they can see all these reminders
without the influence of anyone who is against them . Now , i do want to encourage all today .
Let that forehead be as flint , and no matter what comes against us , march on , for the LORD is with the lambs .
some will hear but most will reject . But still , at least some will hear .

God chose the born again "IN Christ"..

This does not mean that God chooses us to become "in Christ", .. .and we have no choice.

It means that before you were born... God knew who is going to TRUST IN CHRIST.... after Jesus was RISEN from Dead....to then become "IN CHRIST". "by FAITH".

So, this "Fore-knowing".... that is God's Foreknowledge, is to KNOW who is going to be "IN CHRIST", which is why they are called the "chosen".

John the devil Calvin, and the TULIP Heads, have twisted God's Foreknowledge, into God pre-destined, and that is the core ROT of Satanic Calvinism Theology.

Reader, CHRISTianity is built on FAITH.

Faith that God is Real.
Faith that Christ is Risen.

And God does not cause you to BELIEVE in those....>>He requires that you do.. or else you are under the Wrath of God... for your UNBELIEF.......that is YOURS..........not God's.

Hell is filled with people who went there, not because God didnt pre-destine them to believe, but because they had all their LIFE to believe, and wouldn't. = UNBELIEVERS... and that is on THEM.. as they chose it.

"for is we sin WILLFULLY, there remains no more SACRIFICE"..

See that? That means if you chose to DIE in unbelief, then you chose WILLFULLY to reject the only SACRIFICE for your SIN, who is JESUS.

You will die and go to HELL for that FREE WILL choice., = and thousands did today.

Dont be one of them, waiting to go, reader.

John 3:36

Calvin, and the fools who Idolize Him... changed God's Requirement of FAITH in Christ..... into God "pre-destined you", as if you have no FREE WILL to BELIEVE.

Reader,
do not READ John Calvin's Teachings, or the later revisions...... as these "doctrines of devils'... will take over your mind and blind it for life, against the Grace of God, and the correct understanding of The Cross of Christ....and Real FAITH.., So, do not listen to those who have the Galatians 1:8 curse on them, = that is a mental issue, and what the NT refers to as a "STRONGHOLD"...mental issue that Calvin causes in his DISCIPLES.
He'll do it to you, Reader, if you give Calvin or His Disciples your Open Mind.
Do NOT do it. !
Behold, I respect your opinions, but please don't consign us Calvinists to hell. We do not "idolize" Calvin, as you accuse us of doing. We agree with his teachings only as much as he agrees with the Scriptures. For example, the word "foreknowledge" in the Bible does NOT mean to know about something or someone ahead of time, as it would appear to mean to human reasoning or our culture.

Do a word study of its meaning IN THE BIBLE, not with your reasoning, and you will discover that "to know people" means to love them, as Adam knew Eve and they had a child (KJV). In other words, God loved us believers before his creation of the universe and chose us in his love, as Ephesians 1 and Romans 8 both say. Either you accept God's meanings for his inspired words or your own. That's your choice.

However, "and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified (Romans 8:28-30--KJV)."

BOTH God's plans without his responsibility for human sins AND full human responsibility for our lives are the mystery without fatalism that Calvin and Reformed people accept because they are Scriptural. Do you accept them? If not, why not?

Always remember islam is a religion of darkness
and unless one repents of it they walk in darkness .
This goes for any other religoin .
Our duty and our mission , IF we really do love the lost , IS to preach to all the absolute dire necessity
to believe JESUS is the CHRIST , to confess him by mouth and beleive that GOD rose him from the dead .
This was and is just a friendly reminder to all .
Yes, I agree that putting Islam on the same level as Calvinism is completely wrong. Islam believes in a false god, but Calvinism is Christian in accepting the three-in-one nature of God and the full deity and humanity of Jesus as well as all the other basic doctrines of the Bible. I would enjoy a discussion of my Calvinistic beliefs and yours any time, fellow believers.

putting any false religoin , putting anything which is of darkness
as even truth is a fatal error to do so .
GOD is TRUTH
JESUS IS TRUTH
HIS SPIRIT IS TRUTH .
He who hears us is of GOD he who hears not us IS NOT of GOD . and all false religoins REJECT
the one true life saving life changing gospel of JESUS the CHRIST .
I say that means THEY ARE IN darkness , lost , still blind , in dire and deadly danger
and MUST be told of the dire need to BELIEVE JESUS IS THE CHRIST ,
Beleiving from the heart GOD rose him from the dead and confessing Him by mouth
Cause all else is vain and death that leads only to the second death .
SO its about high time christendom KICKS the lie of satan and his interfaith bridge building finding common ground
rotted turd to the core and start preaching JESUS and ALL things HE did teach and later the apostels did teach .

In their own words, Calvinists preach the Gospel because this is the God-ordained MEANS by which God brings His Elect into the fold. It's just God's nice way of giving other Christians something to do here on earth., while He gets the public glory.

It's a weird way of thinking. The cause and effect are kinda mixed up.
I want to know whose words, specifically, are you talking about? I know a lot of Calvinists, being one myself. I have never heard or read such words or thoughts by any of them. I think that you're just setting another "strawman" that you can knock down. Please give the references to your sources when you accuse someone. Thanks!

Just because God knows does not mean he picked every soul.Where is the fall of humanity in this which is what this is all about like it or not.God did not cause it it was done to humanity to keep us from God and heaven or do you say that was Gods plan to keep us from him by creating the fall.Predestination does not fit with the theology.
Humanity had heaven and eternal life at the beginning it was taken away from us not by God but by Satan.The goal of the fallen angels is to keep us from heaven and union with God and the battle on earth continues.
The only predestination is humanity was created for heaven and union with God.
If the fall did not happen we would all be in tune with God s will the world would be a very different place a wonderful world with everyone loving and caring for each other.The most important thing if it did not happen is our Lord would not have had to come to save us - you know salvation eternal life that we lost.
What Scripture passage support your thoughts, or are you thinking outside of the Bible, as I suspect?

You've never heard this before? And you consider it an "accusation"?

Here's the website for Reformed Theological Seminary.

Common misconceptions about Calvinism

Common Misconceptions About Calvinism said:
A third misnomer about the Reformed faith or about Calvinism is that we don’t believe in evangelism. And this is because if God has foreordained the elect unto salvation before the foundation of the world, then that means that those who are going to be saved are going to be saved, regardless of whether or not we evangelize or not—God will accomplish his will. And as popular as that misunderstanding is, we always want to recognize that God not only ordains the end—the salvation of his people—but he also ordains the means by which he accomplishes those ends. And that means is evangelism. And so one of the most important things that we as people in the Reformed tradition believe in is we believe in evangelistic preaching—the vitality of the Word of God in worship drawing sinners unto God himself. And not only that, but the importance of telling people about Christ, whether it’s our neighbors, whether it’s our friends, whether it’s our family members. Because in the end, we recognize that we want to tell the good news. We want to preach about Christ, and we want to see all of the elect of God come to a saving knowledge in Christ.
