Why do Calvinists deny there is the gospel of grace ?

And you ignore John 1:13.

It is Christ who causes you to be born again.
Yes, it is our Lord who gives one the right to become a child of God; this after one hears the gospel of grace and believes in Him, calling out to Him to be saved.

Becoming a child of God-being regenerated by the Holy Spirit is something given only to those who believe, not before. Calvinism conflates the work of the Holy Spirit's conviction of a person as regeneration, getting the cart in front of the horse. It is because of the Holy Spirit convictions that one has a change of mind about living to sin and turns towards God in faith of Jesus Christ. This is evident by what the Lord said the Holy Spirit would do when He sent Him (ref: Jn 16:7-11). The Holy Spirit does not ever fail to convict. It is the person who is convicted that must respond positively or negatively...this is upon the person not the Spirit of God. A person will repent and believe or they won't. And Jesus answered why some do and some don't in Jn 3:19-21.

Calvinism is in gross error in that God has reconciled everyone to Himself in the death of His Son....This is the gospel message that Calvinism refuses. The Apostle Paul made it clear when he stated, "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised." When God said He laid the sins of us all upon His Son (ref: Isa 53), He meant all of us not some of us. When the OT sin offering was given, the people shared in the death of the sacrifice that died for their sins. They confessed their sins upon the sacrifice, thus identifying themselves with it and it's death. That has not changed in the NT, as we must identify ourselves with the Lord's death for our sins that we share in it, dying to sin and raising to a new life. This is wide open to everyone, for it is said of our Lord, "we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone."

It is very plain the gospel of reconciliation is intended by God for the whole world, as stated by the Apostle John in 1 Jn 2:2, "He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world". And of course one of the most famous testimonies given by our Lord, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"

It is God who has done everything necessary for us to be reconciled to Himself, now it is up to man to be reconciled to God. This is why we preach the gospel of reconciliation, "that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them". And this is why we preach that God "commands all people everywhere to repent" and to "confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

We are born again after hearing the gospel of reconciliation. It is hearing and believing God's Word that one is saved. The gospel of God is the means-design of God for men to believe and be saved.

Which we know of course that's really not what Calvinists preach. They DO NOT preach that to the world God is not counting the world's trespasses against them. That would be too much of a positive message to them. They preach you might be one of the lucky ones or especially blessed .

The Gospel isn't a magical incantation.

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

It is only powerful for those of us being saved. Unless God is saving us, then we are perishing, and as such, it is foolishness to us.

If He has reconciled everyone to Himself then what's the point of believing?

If He was the propitiation for everyone's sins then why isn't everyone saved? That would include the sin of unbelief no?

Your born again so you may believe the gospel. No one calls Christ Lord but by the Spirit. Nothing good comes from the flesh. Regeneration precedes faith.

Brother, this rhetoric displays your disdain of our Father's Good News that He meant for everyone. If you truly understood our Father's love and intent for mankind as He has declared, you would not have commented as such.

I state this with all earnest, Calvinism/reformed is a strong delusion that when one believes it they have replaced the gospel of God with another gospel. I speak from experience, having been delivered from it being ignorant of the truth. I pray you and all others who hold to such a perversion are delivered by God's grace and mercy too.

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

It is only powerful for those of us being saved. Unless God is saving us, then we are perishing, and as such, it is foolishness to us.
And this has zero to do with the heart and intent of God, who "was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them".

If I love you and purchased a gift that greatly benefits you and you reject that gift after my multiple attempts to give it to you because you think it is a foolish gift, does that make my intentions and the purchasing of the gift for you foolish or your rejection of it foolish?

You have not understood God's love for humanity, as He has declared numerous times in times past and in these last days from the mouth of His own Son who tasted death for everyone (ref: Heb 1:1-2, 2:9).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
"the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
"He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world."

The Good News of God is meant for everyone, and only those who accept it by faith benefit from it. So the gospel of God is, He has reconciled you to Himself in the death of His Son, not counting your sins against you, so now you be reconciled to God (ref: 2 Cor 5:19-20)

"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. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” (Rom 1:16-17)

Has He reconciled the world to Himself? Or has He failed to so so.

You sound like a universalist.

Sorry no

Regeneration by definition is the impartation of life



The following verses show faith precedes life

John 5:24 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

John 20:31 (KJV)
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

John 5:40 (KJV)
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

Acts 11:18 (KJV)
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

John 6:57 (KJV)

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

John 12:36 (KJV)
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

Regeneration is a spiritual resurrection.



We are raised spiritually through faith

Colossians 2:12 (KJV)
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

One is born again(regenerated) through faith in gospel

James 1:18 (KJV)
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1 Corinthians 4:15 (KJV)
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.


Regeneration is the mechanism of salvation

5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Ephesians 2:5 (KJV)
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved

it is through faith we are saved

EPH 2:8 (KJV)
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

.

Regeneration is preceded by remission of sin

Colossians 2:13 (KJV)
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

which requires both faith and repentance

Acts 10:43 (KJV)
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Luke 24:47 (KJV)
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

The Gospel of Gods Grace, hence Paul preached that Grace reigns Sovereignly in Salvation of Gods Elect, through Jesus Christ our Lord Rom 5:21

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Grace reigns and Justifies the elect through redemption which is in Christ Jesus when He shed His Blood Rom 3:24

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
