What is CALVINISM? (PART 1)

[@BibleLine]

Please share this video for others to see!

[@phaxad]

I saw a video of one of Fred Phelps granddaughters say she is going to hell and her dad will be happy. Westboro Baptist Church. The MOST extreme form of Calvinism.

[@krisjustin3884]

I was in the preaching ministry in a reformed church and ended up having to believe in salvation by faith alone without backloading the gospel with works, because adding repentance and good behavior to verify salvation ends up fooling us into thinking we are saved by our performance rather than only accepting the payment made by Christ for our sins. I began to realize it was recycled, man-centered Roman Catholic Soteriology!

[@BibleLine]

Very well put. It is a dangerous doctrine indeed!

[@mysteryofchrist7287]

I used to be in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (hardcore Calvinists) and would often cry myself to sleep at night because I thought God was cruel by predetermining people to hell before they were even born. I finally was saved from Calvinism and escaped the OPC and now have peace in mid-acts Pauline dispensational right division. Thank God.

[@BibleLine]

Calvinism is very dangerous! Salvation is a free gift to all who will simply place their faith in Christ for the payment of their sins. Limited Atonement is perhaps the most dangerous point of them all, and it is simply not true! Thank you for sharing with us, and continue spreading the truth of the gospel!! Share this with other you may know will benefit from this content. Stay tuned for next week's video too!

[@josephinemorgan6582]

lordy no..it's not true,,now you know the Gospel, true gospel,scripture will be so clear, God bless in Jesus Name. KJV Bible only too.

[@dagwould]

So you are a dispensationalist? Not clear. If so, gotta disagree, dispy is a recent perverse invention. Like Calvinism, nothing to do with the NT. And Authorized Version ( KJV as is quaintly termed)? This was prepared under royal authority to bolster the status and power of the king over the church. Why would one want to stick with it. I'd prefer we based our translations on Coverdale's work, which KJ hated as it used the word 'congregation' instead of 'church', which let the air out of the royalist 'state church' bubble.

[@josephinemorgan6582]

Such a important topic,,Thankyou for Biblically explaining did research on John Calvin too.

[@BibleLine]

Thank you!! We want to give a clear understanding of what the bible teaches and what it does not teach!

[@markringenberg5527]

I have found one of the best books exposing the false doctrines of Calvinism to be "What Love is This" by the late Dave Hunt.

[@theburdnerd]

I was greatly helped by Hunt and the Berean Call, just be aware of their support of Ray Comfort and The Bereans Call ever so slightly Lordship Salvation adherence.

I agree with your teachings 100 percent became they concord with the Bible.

[@krisjustin3884]

Agree with you. Many are not enduring sound doctrine these days.

[@calvaryrisen]

It's mind bending to listen to guys like R.C Sproul talk about Calvinism it's so over the top so confusing you cannot help thinking of scripture like Acts 16:30-31, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”...How did it get so deep and complicated???

[@nicholasdicicco1331]

Great channel, thank you for your clear teaching!

[@deepcow]

I use to work with a man that was a Calvinist, he would actually tell people, “how does it feel knowing you’re going to hell?”

[@robertleitzel756]

Like he doesn’t know…

[@BibleLine]

It would be wonderful to be able to convince people like this to understand the truth found in scripture!

[@robertleitzel756]

@@BibleLine it can be done. You have to appeal to the best parts about them, and then show them how their theology actually underserved that aspect. For example, if they really love God’s sovereignty you highlight how Calvinism short changes God, saying that he isn’t powerful enough to be able to create beings that can make their own choices without him having to predetermine them. It takes a lot of conversation and patience but if they have any open-mindedness at all they can be converted.

[@Jesussaves.7777]

can a calvinist teacher or person who preach a false gospel Repent /change their minds from that belief to believing Solely in Jesus for Salvation ? can they be saved?

[@TheBlubunni]

Of course they can. 😊

[@SpotterVideo]

Read the recent book "The Foundation of Augustinian-Calvinism" by Ken Wilson, if you want to understand the origin of this doctrine. Augustine was attempting to explain how infants could become the "elect" through water baptism. Since the child had not come to faith, it must be based on the will of another. It could have nothing to do with the will of the child. Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. The term "New Covenant" is not found in the Westminster Confession of Faith, nor is it in the 1689 LBCF.

[@BibleLine]

"Man made Bible doctrines fall apart." I like that! Augustine had many things incorrect, that is for sure!! Calvinism is a dangerous doctrine, and we need to be absolutely careful to avoid the false teachings it adheres to.

[@jimkraft9445]

Amen Brother. The TULIP is the devils favorite flower.

[@briantrask8173]

John 6:44 seems to indicate that we can not come to Christ on our own?

[@BibleLine]

John 12:32 adds to the picture. Also notice John 3:18. People choose whether or not to believe. - Trent

[@briantrask8173]

So after the resurrection all men have the ability to choose to believe?@@BibleLine

[@BibleLine]

All men of all time have always had the ability to believe or not believe. Pharoah chose to reject him. Judas chose to reject him. Peter chose to deny him, yet later he chose to return. - Trent

[@calvaryrisen]

Hi Jesse, Just a thought have I got this correct in my thinking of the dividing the text??? Calvinism, when quoting Romans 8:30..."and those whom he predestined he also called"...YOU need to go back to verse 29, "For those whom he FOREKNEW he also predestined to be conformed..." In other words God called us because he already knew we would believe so he predestined us to be the image of his Son. Verse 29 seems to be left out when quoting Romans 8:30 regarding Calvinist's? God Bless

*CALVINISM'S FEW & MANY - WHEAT & CHAFF* 1) Calvinism is predicated on EXHAUSTIVE DIVINE DETERMINISM (EDD) - otherwise known as Theological Determinism. 2) EDD within Calvinism is enunciated within the doctrine of decrees - which is the foundational core of Calvinism and separates it from its alternatives 3) Because EDD is automatically assumed as unquestionable TRUTH - Calvinism interprets scripture accordingly. 4) Thus the Calvinist interpretation of the MANY and the FEW - is of a THEOS who specifically creates/designs the MANY specifically for eternal torment in a lake of fire - for his good pleasure. John Calvin -quote by the eternal good pleasure of god THOUGH THE REASON DOES NOT APPEAR, they are *NOT FOUND* but *MADE* worthy of destruction. - (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of god pg 121) -quote Not only the destruction of the wicked is foreknown, but that the wicked themselves have been *CREATED* for this very end-that they may perish. - (Commentaries Romans 9:18) 5) Thus the Calvinist interpretation of the WHEAT and the CHAFF is of a THEOS who specifically creates/designs a large percentage of believers as CHAFF John Calvin -quote But the Lord....instills into their minds such *A SENSE* of his goodness as can be felt *WITHOUT* the Spirit of adoption. (Institutes 3.2.11) -quote he *ILLUMINES ONLY FOR A TIME* to partake of it; then he....forsakes them.....and strikes them with even greater blindness (Institutes 3.24.8) Thus we have a doctrine of the divine deception of the believer.

[@BibleLine]

All predicated on the idea that “EDD” is absolutely true. Calvinism is the epitome of man’s traditions and religion. Scripture gives no place to such error no matter how much they ignore the context of Ephesians to come to a consensus of said doctrine. We need to be CLEAR on this matter. Eternal life is a free gift (Romans 5, Eph 2:8) To ALL ( 1 Tim. 2:4, 1 John 2:2) Who will BELIEVE (John 3:15-18, 5:24, Gal. 2:26) And that FAITH is NOT the gift, but salvation is. (Romans 6:23) Thank you for the quotes that show the erroneous logic in Calvinism. - Trent

[@dw6528]

@@BibleLine DW: You are welcome! It is imperative that Christians are not mislead by carefully crafted Calvinist statements - presented as half-truths designed to masquerade as the WHOLE TRUTH. And when we understand the doctrine - we should be able to understand why the Calvinist presents his doctrine that way. Blessings and keep up the good work!!

@@dw6528 can calvinist teachers, preachers , or followers who preaches their own gospel repent / changing their minds from that belief to believing Solely in Jesus Christ for Salvation? can they be saved?

[@dw6528]

@@Jesussaves.7777 DW: There are two questions here. On the first question - according to Calvinist doctrine - humans are not granted CHOICE in the matter of anything - because the doctrine stipulates that ALTERNATIVES of that which is decreed - are not granted existence. Therefore ALTERNATIVES do not exist as options for a Calvinist to choose. If it is infallibly decreed that Calvinist_X will believe [A] then that decree does not grant any ALTERNATIVE to Calvinist_X. However if one does not assume Calvinism's doctrine - then the answer would be yes. Outside of Calvinism - there is no decree concerning what impulses will come ot pass within the human brain. Therefore the human is granted the option of CHOICE. On the second question - this question assumes the Calvinist is not saved - which is not a logically warranted assumption. It is human to be vulnerable to seduction and ensnarement. And a person who is saved can be seduced and ensnared. And Calvinism is simply one out of may forms of seduction and ensnarement. blessings!

Calvinism, Reformed, Covenant Theology, etc... It appeals to "MAN'S" intellect; therefore, it appeals to man's pride. They have their long-intellectual words that usually start with "supra"...and ends with "ism"... Supraexistentialgracedichotomyextromonomightymorphinpowerrangersism. 🤪

Jesse, in Holland, there are a lot of calvinists, who claim to be elected to spend eternity in hell..... Or at least hope that they were elected to go to heaven.

[@jamesvan2201]

Calvinists can be very toxic too. My interaction with one calvinist was not a very productive outlook on calvinism as a whole. She couldnt ever talk to me with her own words. She would quite literally take different verses out of the bible and put them all together to make them say quite literally to me "you are going to hell". I dont know how she did it but it reminded me of how a psychopath makes a ransom note for a hostage. It would be just screenshots of random verses with different colors, fonts, and sized lettering all pasted one on top of the other. Every time i said something or asked her something, it was always like that. I began to question if it was an actual person i was speaking to or a bot at one point. She was extremely judgemental. Everytime i asked a sincere question, instead of being kind and civil and just answering me as best she could, she would just clip in all those random verses that sounded damning and judgemental as if im evil for asking a question or not understanding. Im pretty sure at this point, i was actually talking with the devil himself.😂

[@joeblacke99]

Great video. One point is that Calvinism (A.K.A. “The doctrines of grace) actually don’t begin with John Calvin. It goes back to the 5th century with Augustine of Hippo who formulated these ideas after he spent 10 years studying a gnostic religion known as Manichaeism. Initially, Augustine was a free will believer until he got into a dispute with a man named Palegian. It was at this time Augustine began to teach theistic determinism: God has pre-determined all things. It took the gnostic concept of fate and attributed it to God.

[@julianscott4682]

Read Calvinism, don’t relay in a pastor opinion.

[@BibleLine]

It is not opinion. I would stray from reading Calvin, MacArthur, Piper, Sproul or Washer. They are dangerous teachers. - Trent

[@julianscott4682]

@ what it is dangerous is make judgments and send brother and sisters to hell. Who we are to do that?… I personally enjoy both teachings, but the Holy Spirit (I let him to do that) direct me more to Lordship Salvation than Free Grace, but I will never believe that you will burn in hell because of this. I am learning, I am examine all. I don’t despise, except those teaching that are obviously way out of the scripture or abuse just one text.
