HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE A CALVINIST by steve finnell
How to know if you are
a Calvinist, if you believe once you are saved you can never be lost,
then you are a Calvinist. If you claim to be a Calvinist and do not
believe in eternal security, then you need to reassess your position.
It is impossible to believe in "once saved always saved," unless you believe God selected you personally to be saved because of grace alone.
If it was true that God selects certain people for salvation and all others to be lost. Then some would be once saved always saved and all others would be once lost always lost, however, we all should thank God it is not true.
Even though "once in grace always in grace," is a false doctrine, if you believe it to be true you are a Calvinist.
Once saved? Galatians 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free, therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.(NASBB
These Galatians were saved. If they were once saved always saved, then the apostle Paul would not have had to tell them to keep standing firm.
Galatians 5:4. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.(NASB)
They could not be severed from Christ if they were not part of the body of Christ. Christians can fall from grace.
Why do men trust John Calvin more than they trust the Bible? John Calvin will not be their judge on Judgment Day.
