Acts 17:
30
God has overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he demands that all people everywhere repent
31
because he has established a day on which he will ‘judge the world with justice’ through a man he has appointed, and he has provided confirmation for all by raising him from the dead.”

All people. God demands that all people everywhere repent.

Repentence is enabled by God’s Grace. Salvation also comes from God. We are grateful that the Reformed understand this. At least some of our teaching has made it through.

You toss out stray verses as if they prove some point, none of which is being discussed.

Of course God demands that all people everywhere repent. God hates sin.

But the only men who do repent are those who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, according to the will of God.

Are all men Christ's sheep? No, only the ones whom God draws to Him and are delivered to Him by Christ.

"Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father." -- John 6:65


"But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you." -- John 10:26
