SO it is the RIGHT thing to do to vainly offer the promise of salvation to everyone, baptising the pathetic fools in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, even though you know that they are damned to Hell, before they were even born?

Huh? How do I know if they have been "damned to Hell" or not?

He DID offer himself as propitiation for sins, but he calls us to become like him

Well, have you succeeded in being like Him yet? Good luck with that.

When you die and stand before Christ, I hope you have a better reason for His accepting you to live in eternity with him than that you at least partially deserve it. (Not that He still won't accept you anyway... which I hope He does, of course.)

Not yet. I'm still working our my salvation in fear and trembling. But its interesting to note that you don't even believe that we are called to be like Christ.

Typical argument with a Calivisnist:
C:YOu're going to Hell because you believe "A".
M:I don't believe in "A"
C:Well, I hope you like Hell since you believe "B".
M:I don;t believe "B" either
C:Well, I hope you have a better explanation then for believing "A"
M:I don't believe "A" either.

I don't believe I deserve it. I actually ALSO believe that I am saved by the grace of God.
