Bible Note: Thank you Tim, This does clear a lot of the debris. Calvinist believe only certain ones are called and the rest were born without any hope of salvation. Choice is a nonissue. Arminianism believes all are called by the Holy Spirit (thus conviction) but have a choice. If they die without Christ, they come before the judgement seat without excuse...provision was made and they chose to reject the provision. What would be the response to Jesus' statement below? Jesus does not say, I chose one of you to be a devil, but rather one of you I have chosen IS a devil. John 6:69-71 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
