Bible Note: Dear Tim, Perhaps it would be helpful to find quotes that are actually pertinent to the question at hand, instead of quoting on different topics and declaring your own personal conclusions about what people believe. "Therefore, seeing it is the will of God that all men should be partakers of that salvation which He hath sent in the person of His only begotten Son, we must endeavor to draw poor, silly, ignorant creatures to us, that we may all come together to this inheritance of the kingdom of heaven, which hath been promised us." --John Calvin "In the gospel God declares His love for the world and His desire that all men should be saved; reveals fully and clearly the only way of salvation; promises eternal life to all who truly repent and believe in Christ; invites and commands all to embrace the offered mercy; and by His Spirit accompanying the Word pleads with men to accept His gracious invitation." --Westminster Confession of Faith (PCUS 10.2) In Him, Doc |
