see how often the "arminians" have allowed an opportunity to present the gospel pass, when the calvinist did it instead .

Not saying yall haven't but has anyone been saved off of any of these threads.

All your post shows is that you do not understand Calvinism and the passion for the gospel it gives.

I though my post showed that I clearly don't understand

The "free will " people on this thread should be hanging their collective heads in shame.

What do I have to be ashamed of? I witnessed (many xs). People are responsible for their own actions.

You chased off the calvinists as somehow "dangerous" to the precious thread and cheered when we went

I did? Some I like, some I don't. Some bore me. I prefer to look at the individual, not the label. Have I ever been rude to you? I don't think so but if you feel I owe you an apology it's yours

Then you all went about the business of talking cars and movies and making fellowship with darkness contrary to the gospel . So am I surprised that you have lost more Christians than you have converted...nope not one bit.

No movies? You too?:') Throw me some scripture on this stuff my way please. Just a little at a x though. I'm only good for about one paragraph and then I go scrolling to see what everyone else talking about :')

The problem is that you all thought that playing nice and friendship would convert. That is not what the gospel says ...but for some reason Arminians never give up hope that their personalities or their walk will save .

More scripture please where we aren't supposed to be nice and friendly when witnessing. Someone comes screaming in my face and they have lost me. If they talk down to me I ignore them.

***What do I have to be ashamed of? I witnessed (many xs). People are responsible for their own actions.***



2Cr 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?



2Cr 6:15
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?



2Cr 6:16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

2Cr 6:17
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,



2Cr 6:18
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.



***No movies? You too?:') Throw me some scripture on this stuff my way please. Just a little at a x though. I'm only good for about one paragraph and then I go scrolling to see what everyone else talking about :')****

That IS the problem

Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

***More scripture please where we aren't supposed to be nice and friendly when witnessing. Someone comes screaming in my face and they have lost me. If they talk down to me I ignore them.***

No, you show me where it says that friendship is necessary to present the gospel .

How "friendly" was Peter?

Act 3:14
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;



Act 3:15
And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.


He called people to repentance not a discussion on cars or movies .

NOW YOU SHOW ME where it says we have to make people like us so they will come to Christ.



You have all proved that you lose sheep with the power of your personalities.
Maybe next time you will decide to do it as God ordained



Let me see your scripture Cindy ...I believe God saves , and the way ordained is the presentation of the gospel ..He no where says that it is necessary to play nice .

The grace of God , over which you have NO CONTROL saves .

You have lived under the delusion that YOU save by showing how nice and happy you are can open ears to the gospel. That is not what Jesus said.

1Cr 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
