West Michigan is filled with Calvinists . I was raised in Calvinists but not the extreme . We live by many extreme Calvinists churches ! We now go to a tiny Calvary chapel church in the midst of Calvinists churches After studying my bible and listening to mood radio for over 20 yrs . We went to Israel a year ago ! When covid hit and I found Jan Markell and she said go find yourself a Calvary chapel church . Verse by verse chapter and chapter gen - rev . ❤

Thank you, Pastor Jim! I needed to hear about this! Especially “TULIP” after his death. John Calvin believed that Christ died for the sins of the whole world according to 1 John 2:2.

Mark 1.15 KJV "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." A favourite text of those who promote the erroneous doctrine of duty faith/repentance, which advocates that all are obligated to savingly repent and believe who hear the Gospel preached. Now, before we look at 3 texts which will show the falsehood and contradictory nature of this teaching, a question must be asked - are all who own and read a Bible duty bound to have faith in Jesus Christ ? If not, why not ? (1) "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." (Math 7.6) Here we have the explicit words of the Lord Himself to His disciples, something they had NOT to do. What was that ? It was to 'give' or 'cast' heavenly truth to 'dogs' and 'swine.' By giving and casting the Lord meant simply to preach, declare, or show forth ; to testify of something, or more accurately, Someone. He is the Holy One of Israel and the Holy One of God; He is the One who calls His people to be holy, for He is Holy. His disciples were commanded NOT to preach what they had been taught, what they owned, their pearls. He is the pearl of great price which a man dares not depart with, for all they have and possess are found in Him; To them He is precious, more precious than silver and gold, for He remains the same, unlike all created things. Now, who are these 'dogs' and 'swine'? To the Jews, dogs and pigs are filthy, disgusting, unclean creatures. Our Lord's usage of this terminology would be easily understood to His hearers - do not preach to those opposed to truth, those who have no interest in heavenly truth, those who disdain the truth, the truth as it is found in Christ, who is the Truth. They will vomit the truth back out for they are unclean, beasts of the earth. Christ says do not preach to them. Christ says do not call these to "repent ye, and believe the Gospel" for they are not part of the 'ye' in our text. (2) "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Luke 5.32) What did Jesus come into this world, both bodily and by His Spirit, not to do ? Call the righteous. The word translated 'call' also means to invite ; the Lord did not, and does not, invite the righteous - that is the righteous in their own estimation. The self-righteous know they are sinners (and the more honest will admit this) yet they aren't that sick. They are convinced they can cure themselves by a 'good' deed here and there; they do not need the Righteous One. The call is made to 'sinners' and that to repentance; these are the characters Jesus says to "repent ye, and believe the Gospel." Sinners, as designated in this text, are those who have been convicted of their sin and the consequence sin entails, that is death - "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" (John 16.8). The Spirit of Christ reveals these truths unto all whom Christ died for, in greater or lesser measure, and all will be brought into a state of contrition over sin. Then they are compelled to cry out "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me." (3) "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Math 11.28) Here, again the call or invitation is to a specific group of people, a people who display certain traits: they 'labour' and are 'heavy laden.' They labour under the burden of their unbelief, in the world yet not of it, the suggestions and subtilty of the Devil, their many backslidings. They are weighed down with trials and tribulations wherein they feel they may sink under, a dark pit where there is no light. Yet they, given hearing ears, hear the Master's call, and like sheep, follow Him for they have an everlasting union with Him that cannot be broken. These precious words of Jesus are not for another group: the 'wise' and the 'prudent.' Jesus does not call them to repent and believe. The Father Himself has hide the truth from them (see verse 25). Only the babes are given knowledge, and wisdom, and repentance :"Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger" (Psalm 8.2). The Lord Jesus Christ in our text was calling, and continues to call, His people. The Lord was calling those whom He foreknew, those given to Him in eternal election, those born from above and with the image and likeness of Himself dwelling in them. The Lord knoweth all them that are His.

One of the hang over from TULIP is the OSAS teaching. However, Galatians deals succinctly that such an idea is not accurate. Someone who has been born again can stray so bad, in the case of The Galatians they turned to a different 'gospel' and thus making the sacrifice on the cross null and void for those who turned away from The Gospel.

@@bstein9500 So for a person to believe in Christ for salvation, they need to hear The Gospel, correct. But what if they trust in a false gospel, say something likened to the Watchtower Society. Well the Watchtower gospel is a false gospel. So with the Galatians they started with The Gospel, but somewhere along the line they moved to a 'different gospel - which is no gospel at all'. In the case of The Galatians they had taken up on a (false) gospel that embraced infused righteousness and left The Gospel, The Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ.
