What's Wrong with Calvinism?

[brightfame52]

By the word

By His Power, yet the word Will be utilized, but the word in letter only has no power or effect I showed you this once before 1 Thess 1:5

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

 

[FreeInChrist]

They are drawn by God, The Father or The Son Jn 6: 44; 12:32

32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

His Power is being exerted.

And the end result is they are drawn unto Christ!

The Word is the Son.

 

[brightfame52]

The Word is the Son.

Christ is God, the power of God, the drawing is by the Power of God

Favorite topic is Salvation and Gods love. The one I know the best is eternal security.

I was never a Calvinist, my husband was but he left if. I know a lot about "Calvinism and Armininism". but I'm not and never have been ether one.

Good topics. Good desires.

I believe seeking God leads to knowing God. Those that seek, find. I know that sounds somewhat "Calvinistic" but I also believe our innate construct that came from God through Adam leads us to so many many things.

I believe we actually have to resist God emotionally to avoid Him.

Power is seen here

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

1 Cor 1:17–18For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, not with clever speech, lest the cross of Christ be emptied. For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For you to claim there is no power in the gospel is to deny scripture
