I have no problem with thw 'P'. My comment was directed to unconditional election. No man can really know if unconditional election is true. One may speculate, but to claim it is absolutely true requires a great deal of faith.

I'm sure you meant "conditional election", but your point is made regardless. What it requires of the Calvinist is faith, and a little scriptural literacy.

And thank you for bringing the conversation back around to the topic at hand. Your comment points back to the basis of Whitefield's faith, and even illustrates his arguments against Wesley.

Hopefully, you and I can also learn from Whitefield's tremendous respect and affection for Wesley.
