Calvenism is a deceptive doctrine that can make many believers lose their salvation.
It goes directly against the word of God, as Paul proves many times in the new testament that a Christian can lose their salvation. I am not trying to convince anyone, as we have to decide for ourselves.
Luke 12:46 - The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
Romans 11:20-22 - But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
Hebrews 6:4-6 - It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
Hebrews 10:26-31 - If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
This book has been added for historical/research purposes. Not because Calvin's doctrine was correct.
I urge you only to read this book if you can say 'yes' to the entire list:
Need to perform research
Have a sound doctrine
Completed bibleschool
Are mature in your faith
Have the go ahead from God
Martin Luther died on February 18, 1546, at 3:00am. His last words echo to this day, resounding the truths he discovered:"We are beggars. This is true."
Beggars, indeed, because God demands a righteousness we can't
produce. One, in fact, that if we could produce would nullify the grace
of God and make Jesus's death be for no purpose (Galatians 2:23).
Embodying devotion to the Bible, Luther came to understand that we need
a foreign righteousness. We need a righteousness given to us by
another.
And this understanding came in part by means of study. Luther gave
himself to the Book, which he later explained as the primary actor in
the Reformation. The legacy of his dying words in 1546 find their roots
in this conviction — a conviction when bloomed into Ninety-Five Theses
and nailed to All Saints' Church Wittenberg on Ocotber 31, 1517, changed
the world.
John Piper says we have much to learn from Luther. Originally
delivered as the biographical message at the 1996 Conference for
Pastors, this new ebook features five chapters that present a sketch of
Luther's life and distill relevant lessons for all Christians, epecially
pastors and leaders.
