I'm no fan of
I am no fan of John Fullerton MacArthur Jr.~I do not judge him, (before the Lord only will he stand or will he fall in that day) but neither do I follow him what little I know of him. He at one time believed in the same doctrine concerning the Sonship of Jesus Christ just as I believe it and teach it, yet dropped it because of the heat he got from others in believing as he did. I lost all respect of his true love for the word of God above the favor of man.
I love Gill not because of him being a Calvinist, but his overall understanding of the scriptures except his eschatology.
Sproul, Piper and MacArthur~I have not spent a handful of hours reading them, a little too weak for me, and more than that, a little too much Catholicism hidden in their teachings~a little leaven (Presbyterianism) is dangerous.
Give me men like Samuel Richardson and all those Particular Baptist back in 1500's /1600's hundred.

This is scripture
Ephesians 1:13 (NASB 2020) — 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
One is sealed in Christ after having believed
you have reversed it.

I think it's safe to say that the Apostle Paul's article was even better.
And for second place....have you ever read mine?

No I don't have a drawn out writing on the subject although I have wrote on message boards much about it. When I stated but you haven't read mine I meant that as a humor statement making a point The Apostle Paul had the very best writing on the subject not a teacher you might follow and after Paul there could be a great many more you or I have never heard of. My point is I think we're amiss if we say person A or B has the very best writing on anything unless it's the actual scriptures themselves.

The group of Strict Baptists called Strict and Particular Baptists are Baptists who believe in a Calvinist interpretation of Christian salvation.

God fulfilled that condition before the foundation 1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Eph1:4
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Thats why its an unconditional election of grace Duh
You contradict and refute yourself saying
"God fulfilled that condition before the foundation 1 Cor 1:30"
and
"Thats why its an unconditional election of grace Duh"
and you fail to address rebuttal
