Calvinism is Gospel !

[brightfame52]

The “had been appointed to eternal life” or the “appointment to eternal life” had occurred before they heard and believed the gospel that was presented by Paul and Barnabas. However, the wording does not require that this appointment to eternal life must be a reference to eternity past. I

False, because Eternal life was appointed/promised before the world began Titus 1:2

2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Now who was it promised to b4 the world began ? The Heirs Heb 1:14

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Salvation and Eternal life are mostly interchangeable in Heirship Titus 3 7

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Calvinism is the Gospel for its doctrines of Grace set the foundation for Salvation by Grace, This makes it imperative to start with total inability of man in the matters of God and Salvation, because man is dead in sin from the start. Jesus said to His disciples this Matt 19:23-26

23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25 ;When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Hence being saved, with men its impossible ! Salvation is only possible with God, only He can save, and that by Grace !

Grace finds the sinner dead in trespasses and sins Eph 2:5

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)

There are no conditions a dead person can act, he is at the mercy of God ! Hence with God all things are possible.
