1 | What are Calvins and Arminians? | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou | 10424 | ||
Calvinism is what we usually use as a point of reference to describe those who believe that God is sovereign over all things in universe including our destiny in eternity. In other words, those who are calvinists would say that you have been chosen by God to salvation and based on that, you have been made able to believe (what I think is true). Arminians are the exact opposite in the domain of salvation and are inclined to teach that we can lose our salvation. I think that they are out of context when they say that, but the debate is open since the 16th century. I don't think that we'll be able to settle it by our discussion. | ||||||

OK, I believe that every individual has the free will to accept or reject the gospel, that God wants all to accept even tho this won't happen and is sad when someone rejects because Jesus died for all and God loves every one of us, even the sinner. I believe He tries to bring all to Him but basically, after a awhile, if someone rejects enough, then they are left to go their own way as selected by themselves. I also believe that a person can be stupid enough to throw away their salvation-why they would want to, who knows, but I have run across people who professed to do this, became pagan or whatever. Others said they weren't saved to begin with, they said yes they were, baptized in the Holy Spirit, the whole thing. So, if this was the case, they definately threw their salvation away. I guess it would be up to God whether or not they repented before they die but they would have to do that, for sure. I would imagine just like you can disown your earthly parents, you can do that with God too, as stupid as that may be. I guess I'm not a Calvinist or an Arminian, I'm just a Christian with no label. :) |

I take it you are a plain ole Christian too? :) I go to a Baptist church but I can't even say I'm a Baptist even tho I belong to the church, if anybody asks, I'm a Christian. I became a Christian when I accepted Jesus as my Savior, why would I want to choose another label? :) Seems like any other would be going down. Then if you are a church hopper, would you change labels w/every church? Just too much trouble that way. :) |

Well, you may find out if you check my profile.. :) I love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind and soul! I agree, a church 'hopper' would have to carry a new 'label' at every turn.. :) However, I have undoubtly 'made my impression' on this Forum's history through my posts that have dealt with the subject of 'election'.. :) Nolan |

"I am Arminian in thought in regards to election" Does this mean you agree that you can become unsaved? Maybe I'm not sure what election is. I've never run across these terms like Calvinism, Arminian, election, etc. before so I may ask what might seem to be a lot of dumb questions. I guess these would be more denominational type questions than scriptural? I guess you'll have to enlighten me when I'm ignorant. :) | ||||||

Well, I could explain myself in a little more detail, but to do so I run the risk of subjecting to Forum to views that may bring us into another Calvinism/Arminianism debate again, and I want to avoid that at all costs!! So please, Norrie, if you really want to know more about it, please e-mail me at nkeck98@yahoo.com. I'll be more than happy to speak with you about all of this, and you will be able to ask any kind of questions you want! :) Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |
