Bible Note: "Whereas the Calvinist would say, therefore, that the sinner calls on the name of the Lord and is therefore saved BECAUSE he is of the elect, I would say (because that's what I believe the Bible teaches) that the sinner by calling on the name of the Lord is saved and thus BECOMES the elect." A very accurate assessment of the difference of viewpoint, minus the parenthetical statement, of course ;). "In one of the concluding verses of his Revelation of Jesus Christ, John issues an appeal, a beautiful and wonderful invitation." It is indeed beautiful. Whoever wills will have the water of life without cost. Just out of curiosity, what do you do with the "flip-side" of the invitation in the same chapter? "Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy." --Revelation 22:11 --Joe! |
