@5Solas I was one. And the line a Calvinist (biblical) elder that changed me was: “Is God Sovereign in your salvation? Yes! Are you responsible to believe? Yes!” It doesn’t have to line up logically for my finite mind. Gods Word says it and that’s it.
““Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
Matthew 7:15 NASB1995

“Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 NASB1995
Men! Be strong, yet gentle. Loving, yet firm in the truth. Our world needs it!

Matthew 16:26 NASB1995
Keep it up! It’s all about Jesus!
