Scripture does not show God predestining anyone to damnation. God desires all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:3-4). Affirmative. However, I had read some long, winding and impassible windage from certain Calvinists who claim that 'all' here only means the elected selected elite.
only the followers of Calvin have the unscriptural view denying that the love of God is there for all sinners. No one goes to hell because God pre-damns him.
You mean that God is not in control? Horrors!!!! What is the Calvinist Imitation of Christ, I wonder...
The ones who do, resist the Holy Spirit's work: Act 13:46; 7:51; Matt. 23:37
You mean that the Holy Spirit does not report to Calvin?

you never know what Calvinists may believe.
These Calvinists also say that Calvin improved on Augustine and Paul.
The Calvinists also say that "That's Christianity, that's Calvinism" showing that they dismiss the Lutherans, Catholics, Pentecostals etc. -- this is apparent on their website where they say that Arminianism (preached by Methodists, Pentecostals etc.) "is a damnable heresy" showing that they consider Pentecostals, Methodists etc. as "preaching a satanic gospel"
