That's uncalled for xzins.
What Calvinist, even here on Free Republic, has ever said anything like that?
Several of 'em ksen.
You weren't around when we got into this discussion. It had to do with a "what must I do to be saved" thread, that I believe was eventually pulled. But several GRPL's stated flat out that they never made a decision for Christ; that they just slowly grew into the realization that they were saved.
So what is your experience ksen? Did you make some kind of decision for Christ, like Jonathan Edwards was pleading for in his series of Sermons called "The Excellency of Christ"? Or did you, like some of the other GRPL's, just wake up one day and realize that you were one of the chosen?
As Marlowe pointed out ksen, several of them. Many of them directly to me...that or worse.
What Calvinist, even here on Free Republic, has ever said anything like that?
You might very well be the only Calvinist on these threads who wouldn't agree with the substance of the xzins' comment.
Didn't you know that many Calvinists believe that God simply decided that some would be predestined to eternal life and the rest to eternal damnation and there is nothing or anything a man could do to change his 'destiny'?
As I said once before, I believe you only think you are a Calvinist. The only other possibility is that most of the swarm are hyper-Calvinists, which even some Calvinists say is as much in error as, for lack of a better phrase, 'hyper-Arminianism.
