FOLKS...... I am a "Cal-minian"
Because the BIBLE teaches Cal-minianism
This Topic of Biblical Discussion / Debate is known as "ELECTION"
.....................................................................................
Because the BIBLE teaches Arminianism
God Sovereignly chose.... Who in His foreknowledge would choose Him.... And you CAN Lose your Salvation !
= Armenianism ..... AND IS false.
Armenianism says God gave Man Free Will to choose ... But FALSELY teaches that you CAN Lose YOUR SALVATION...
AND...
Because the BIBLE teaches Calvinism
Calvinism teaches that Man HAS NO FREE WILL and is FORCED ... AGAINST HIS WILL... To be saved... And you CANNOT Lose your salvation... AND IS false.
Man DOES have Free Will to Choose God or Not ..... But "Once Saved Always SAVED" (OSAS) is BIBLICAL TRUTH.
BOTH Arminianism and Calvinism .... ARE FALSE ....... When standing by themselves ......
Context, Context, Context ... Is ALWAYS the Rule !
The BIBLICAL TRUTH... Is that God In His Sovereignty CHOSE to give Man Free Will to CHOOSE Him ... Or Not ! ..... And God GAVE each Man a Measure of Faith so he could make the choice to EXERCISE that Faith / Belief ... Or not !
And Folks.... IF you are truly Born again ... You CANNOT Lose your salvation.... PERIOD !

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Now with Discernment:
Ephesians 2:8
For by (GOD's) grace you (HUMANS/SINNERS) have been saved through (YOUR) faith, and that (FAITH IS) not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Romans 12:3 (GOD HAS GIVEN EVERY MAN A MEASURE OF FAITH TO BELIEVE)
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as ****God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.**** (BUT NOT ALL MEN CHOOSE TO EXERCISE THAT FAITH ....THIS IS KNOWN AS "FREE WILL".... JUST THE SAME AS GOD GAVE TO THE ANGELS...TO CHOOSE )
AND :
John 3:14-16
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man (JESUS) be lifted up: 15 that **whosoever believeth** in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that **whosoever believeth in him** should not perish, but have everlasting life.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
John 10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
