@Soteriology101 The gospel must sincerely be preached to all. Anyone who comes to Christ will be saved. Christ’s atonement was specifically intended to effectively save the elect. God uses the universal proclamation of the gospel as the means of calling His elect. Seems simple to me.

@Soteriology101 @OzMarquezz He did the thing lol

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@HighImpactFlix "Christians" is correct. These people are not though. Christ didn't come to change this world and that's exactly what these people, who claim Trump is a Christian, are doing. False American Christian nationalism Nonsense.

@TheMuppetPastor What do you dislike about both systems? I really like your answer even though I'd say I was a Calvinist if I were to label myself.

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@1984_nate @RevReads289 Pearls before swine my friend... Fruitless arguments on X get nowhere. Read your history. Plenty of "good biblical arguments" against this heretical belief. Good day.

@TansuYegen Works great until it hits one of these lol

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@Soteriology101 Paul is explicit about this. Even among regenerate believers, we “know in part” and “see in a mirror dimly” (1 Cor 13:9–12). The apostles themselves disagreed and needed correction (Gal2:11–14). Regeneration produces spiritual life, not omniscience.

@CherylSchatz Jesus loved an unbeliever (Mk10:21), wept over rebels (Lk19:41), and God loved the world (Jn3:16). Calvinism denies universal salvation, not real divine love or sincere invitations. But also "Jesus loves you" is not the Gospel message we should be sharing. That's incomplete

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@DrFrankTurek No. Does the blood of Christ fail us? Can we be washed in His saving blood reconciled and yolked with Him only to be once again separated? Can we be adopted and then again an orphan? Can our new heart again be replaced with one of stone? Will He not finish the work he started?

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@Soteriology101 Opening your hand to receive a gift is an action and not a work that earns the gift. Scripture never treats receiving as meritorious. “For by grace you have been saved through faith… not a result of works” Paul didn't say “Unless faith is God-caused, then it counts as a work.”

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@Soteriology101 Calling faith a “work” because God causes it confuses causation with merit. See Rom 4:4–5. Faith is the instrument that receives Christ, not a work that earns Him.God caused ≠ meritorious. Obedience is the fruit of justification; faith is the means.

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@DrFrankTurek It doesn't.

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@stevebward @1984_nate @DPGBehler Yes God commands a response. No disagreement there. But a command does not imply native ability. Scripture regularly shows God commanding what humans, apart from grace, cannot do precisely to expose our need for Him.

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@stevebward @1984_nate @DPGBehler God isn’t making phony statements. He is issuing real commands that reveal real obligation while also making clear that obedience requires His enabling grace. That’s not gatekeeping; that’s mercy. If repentance depended solely on our natural capacity, no one would be saved.

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@stevebward @1984_nate @DPGBehler The ability to call on God in true, saving faith is itself a gift of His Spirit. God doesn’t limit His mercy arbitrarily. He works through His Spirit to open hearts so that our response becomes genuinely saving. It’s not gatekeeping, it’s God enabling a response.

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@stevebward @1984_nate @DPGBehler Unsaved people cry out to God all the time in times of trouble and it isn't always in a sense that they know they need salvation. They might just want to be free of the current situation or difficulty and it had nothing to do with their knowing they are lost.

[Andrew Hill @AndrewHill08]

@stevebward @1984_nate @DPGBehler Yes, a person can feel lost, fear judgment, and even cry out to God in desperation. But Scripture never presents that natural cry as automatically saving. “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved,” the “whoever” is always those whom God enables to call.
