If you're going to mention my name, at least have the cajones to ping me to the post.
What a liar you are, Cvengr! What a slanderer you are, impuning my character in such a fashion! You have stepped over the line here. There is no possible way anything I have ever written or said on this or any other forum could be interpreted as support for the veiled accusation you make against me, in the form of an "illustration". I challenge you to find such posts by me. You have constantly thrown subtle little digs at me, implying that my motives and understanding were less than pure, that I am, in your estimation, "out of fellowship" with God. I call others to witness that this is so.
I do not want my name associated with such insinuations, even as illustrations. An apology is in order here.
Aren't you arguing from an unsubstantiated premise, namely that the aforementioned "cajones" exist in the first place?
Post #64, to wit, "You need to hear the Gospel, realize you're a sinner, repent, and ask Jesus to come into your heart and make you a new creation in Him."
Which Calvinist position is it going to be? Faith before regeneration per your order or asking Christ to enter a depraved temple per your recommendation?
I've found the more appropriate solution is to communicate the Gospel per the Great Commission, leave the situation between the unregenerate person and God and let the Holy Spirit perform the ministry. If it happens, all of these things settle themselves by His work.....simple.
