Subject: How can we influence who is saved? |
Bible Note: Do you not think that there are those who have been drawn to the saviour by the Holy Spirit and yet have refused Christ? John 6:44 "No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:37 "All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. Hi Robert! I believe that none that the Almighty God draws to Christ in his absolutely free and abundant mercy, will refuse his salvation. Joe, the Reformer, has given a most gracious response to your post than I could ever think or imagine. And like he said, some might get upset if we start yet another thread on this subject.
