🤣🤣🤣🤣Just more nonsense. If God knows everything in the future, then you have no free will unless God is not perfect. Robots have agency.

😂 wow you can be so smart and LEARNED you become a dum bum... 😮

He got it exactly in reverse. Regeneration comes at the very moment in time that a lost, spiritually dead person places their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. At that split second in time God's Holy Spirit regenerates and produces the spiritual life in the believer and not one second before. I know this not only from a Biblical perspective but from a very real and very clear salvation experience back in April of 1977. I believed FIRST, and THEN I was born again. What Sproul is teaching is not scriptural and is placing the "egg before the chicken."

So Christ´s blood was not enough to buy all sinners but only a minority? God is NOT willing that any should perish: The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. John 3 says: 14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” 16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 18 The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This is how calvinists change the Holy Bible to fit better: 16 For God so loved the elect (not all the world) that he gave his one and only Son, that those unconditionally decreed by God to believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the elect, but to save the elect through him. 18 The Elect one who believes in him is not condemned, but everyone else stands condemned forever because they are not elect.”

Belief!!!...I cannot be a calvinist

John 3:15 reverses this mistaken ordo salutis

This is so wrong God loves all. God is Love. For love to be genuine, it must be freely given and received. Therefore, God endowed humans with free will-the ability to choose or reject Him. A world where love is predetermined or forced is a world without true love at all. Stay away from Calvinism. Humans have free will and are capable of choosing good without being entirely depraved. God’s election is based on foreseen faith rather than being unconditional. Christ’s atonement is available to all, not just a select few. God’s grace can be resisted by human free will. You are born again from above after you have received Christ and are eternally secure.

I'm on the fence. Since we have debated circles around scripture, I appealed to the Ante-Nicene church fathers. It seems to me, and I am agreeing with many of them here, that using the rational faculties God gifted you to accept His grace is not affirming that we somehow save ourselves. It is acknowledging our hopelessness without Him which, by our free will, we accept or reject. Justin Martyr speaks on this by calling out Gnostics for their belief in what was called "fate" at the time. We are responding to His call for forgiveness of sins. God draws us but men, even seemingly full of the Spirit, fall away on their own volition all the time (King David, the man in 1 Cor 5, Tertullian, Tatian, etc.).

Calvinists, please read Gen 3:22 and understand God made provision for man to put forth and take! Please stop perverting Ordo Solutis.

let the double talk begin

That’s so sad

No but you are in a wrong continent wrong country do that in eu

The text tells us they are false teachers, what do false teachers do? They lie. If they are lying about God’s Word. We can believe that they are lying about being purchased by God. It’s that simple. How many unbelievers tell us they believe ? To believe means to have been bought. Someone who denies God has not been bought. Even free willers believe that when someone dies or there is no hell. Arminian/provisionist all believe Christ meant it is almost finished , let me add my faith to the work of Christ. Which means they believe John 6:28 that believing isn’t the work of God.

I always admire R.C. Sproul. But his answer to this particular question is like a mess, and beating around the bush 😢

The great commission wasn’t “go into all the world and find Gods elect”. This what the Calvinist is doing. If a Calvinist can’t preach the gospel believing that it is the power unto salvation for first the Jew then the Greek. Meaning both Jews and ANYONE else who believes, then what are they doing? It literally is nonsensical, why preach to gods elect, when they’re elect anyway and will be saved regardless, as they have no choice? What an absolutely nonsensical heretical view of the gospel.

Arminian theology is not putting our trust in our own righteousness, it is putting our trust in the righteousness of Christ Jesus. Scripture is clear that faith is not a work. If it was we would be able to boast in our own salvation. But we can’t because the work necessary for our salvation has been accomplished and finished by Jesus on the cross. Salvation is described as a free gift. If it was really free then we wouldn’t have to work to get it, but only accept it through faith.

Calvinism. God tells us to believe in Him, but we can’t believe in Him, unless He gives us the belief to believe in Him. And who is given belief from God? Those He decided in eternity past and ignores everybody else . Meanwhile the Bible: If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you are saved. Of course the Holy Spirit convicts of sin when the Gospel is preached, Calvinisim ignores the fact that at that point anyone can choose to come to Christ or harden their heart and ignore Him. Calvinism has “elect” who are saved in eternity past, and don’t have to do anything. This is totally unbiblical.

what an amazing message!! waiting to see the complete sermon

She was used by the Right to Life people. She was down on her luck, and they preyed upon her by offering her money to become pro life!

Brilliant…Beautiful…Biblical…❤❤❤ 😊

It’s the churches fault why people are satanists! It’s the churches fault why people worship the devil! It’s the churches fault why people sell their souls to the devil! It’s the churches fault why we have Hollywood! You better ask God to show you if that is true! Share this!

R.C.Sproul has the "unspeakable privilege of preaching that gospel." In other words, Sproul has the unspeakable privilege of lying to people and deceiving them into thinking they can believe the gospel and be saved - and he does that all the while knowing that they can't be saved by believing anything - they are incapable of doing so. And all this time I have thought the devil was the father of lies.

Anyone here 2025 👋👋

How dare you rc sproul -arminians

Ummm.. 2 Peter 2:1... The Lord has bought all mankind... simple... and these sinful people are in no way to be followed. Do you need more? Not sure how this proves or disproves anything... Now quit hacking away at your brother and live for Christ.

From what I see Calvinism is just when you read the uncomfortable parts of the Bible out loud I mean there is no denying Gods sovereignty no one is good no one seeks after God. And god does not give everyone a chance to be saved most ppl end up in hell it’s only due to the richness of his mercy that some are saved. If God wanted everyone in heaven then they would be.

The Armenians believe that faith precedes rebirth. It doesn't help them to believe that way, because just like 'born again', faith is a gift from God.

If God had not chosen certain people for salvation, the entire human race would be lost.

This is an evasive answer. And it's as if this person has not read any of the more recent philosophical work regarding free will. If we cannot choose what we want - if our wants are determined by something other than our rational deliberation, unconstrained by any force external to our faculty of rational deliberation - then we are not free. We are determined by something beyond the control of our own rational deliberation (because, in that condition, our rational deliberation is controlled by something outside of itself). And so, this Calvinist "account" does NOT save God from being a chess-playing monster who damns to hell pawns who do not have the rational capacity to choose their own desires. It's crappy philosophy. Which is not surprising. Because it's rooted NOT in well-disciplined reasoning, but in Biblicism and Biblical exegesis. It's not the reason faculties that determine what to think; it's Scripture. And then the reasoning faculties tie themselves in knots trying to rationally justify the intellectual inconsistencies of "scripture." Biblicism is dead. Biblical dogmatism is dead. Bible-thumping is not for critical thinkers.

The global church is nowhere near fully realizing the realities of the depth of sin. It is limiting the growth unto maturity.

God has mercy on who he will have mercy that is true. But according to Luke 1:50 his mercy is on all those who fear him.

I had no desire for Jesus before salvation I was dead in sin until Quickened by his Spirit!

This is just plain deception. How dare he call a verse of scripture "problematic"? It is he and his interpretation that is problematic

RC Sproul was such a heretic, just like John MacArthur, Steven Lawson, Janes White, John Piper, etc . These people speak out of both sides of their mouths and are not Christians.

According to Wikipedia, the film was vilified when it came out in 1970 because of inaccuracies. My favorite is when Cromwell says, "Was not Gideon outnumbered by the Amalekites?" when it was actually the Midianites.

Hi. What's that music in the background?

We have free will, but can't will anything but sinful desires. That's an oxymoron. I believe all men are capable of desiring good and evil, just as Jesus says "If you fathers being evil know to give good gifts tobyour children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him?" We being evil, tending to evil, seduced bybthe world the flesh and the devil are capable of desiring and doing good, according to Christ. God does not sovereignly choose only a few, he chooses all, and those who refuse are sent to hell and those who choose to believe and remain in the faith are saved and have eternal life. It is up to us to do good or bad in this world, God only encourages us by His word to do what is right.

Please pass the word salad

Calvinism is the only thing that makes sense to me when it comes to the sovereignty of God and man's free will.

It teaches Determinism, a belief that God decrees, plans, and creates absolutely everything, both good and evil, including the most heinous crimes. Calvinism presents a subtly different gospel than the one presented in scripture, ultimately debasing the very character and holiness of God.

1 Timothy 2:3-5 21st Century King James Version 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:3-5 Amplified Bible 3 This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who [a]wishes all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth. 5 For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:4 Salvation is offered to everyone, but each individual must choose to accept or reject God’s gracious offer.

No.

Sproul= heretic

Great work! Thank you

I notice calvinists are the most boastful prideful stuck up so called believers i have ever seen. Total pharisees and make God look like a tyrant. Calvinism is modern day pharisees. God gives everyone the chance to believe, and if you reject it wasnt due to God rejecting you, but your pride and arrogance rejecting Him.

RC Sproul believed in free will, thats whe he smoked cigarettes for many years and died using oxygen tanks!!!
