And if you are a Baptist, you believe that people can only be a Christian because God first chose them.

So if you aren’t a Christian, it’s because God didn’t want you to be a Christian. You aren’t part of the “elect”.

You have a slim grasp on the concept of baptism and rebirth

You said — “And if you are a Baptist, you believe that people can only be a Christian because God first chose them.”

Ummm..., not necessarily. I’m not a five-point Calvinist... LOL...

And then you were saying — So if you aren’t a Christian, it’s because God didn’t want you to be a Christian. You aren’t part of the “elect”.

I know the message (as you’re reciting), but I don’t buy that as Biblical. It’s just not a matter of personally not liking it or making a personal choice — but — it is a reasoned thing and you can go into that Biblical reasoning and rationale, if you get into Dave Hunt’s book — “What Love is This? Calvinism’s Misrepresentation of God”.

I think you’ll find the “correction” of what you are saying — in that book.
