ON THE UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION OF PEOPLE EITHER TO HEAVEN OR ETERNAL DAMNATION ACCORDING TO THE FALSE GOSPEL OF CALVINISM 1.The false teaching of the gospel of Calvinism that Gods election of men unto salvation and unto perdition without conditions is nowhere found in the holy Scripture.The reason behind this damnable teaching is that Calvin extrapolated things based on primarily on human logic and philosophy over the finality and primacy of the Scriptures.There is no verse in the revealed Scripture that men are destined to hell because of God issued a decree sending people unconditionally to either heaven or to eternal perdition and punishment in the lake of fire. Men are punished to eternal damnation because of disobedience to the obey the gospel of Christ! 2 THESSALONIANS 1:7-10,[7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,[8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:[9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;[10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 2. From the lips of the Lord, Jesus Christ declares with a solemn warning and condition in LUKE 13:3I tell you, Nay, but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. To perish here in this verse means to destroy or to lose It is mans responsibility to repent or to have the repentance in life otherwise he will be destroyed. It is Gods condition or stipulation and command for men to do.As H. Ironside wrote: Repentance is a change of mind which results in a complete change of attitude. When a man, who has been living in sin and utter indifference to God, confesses his sin and judges his wickedness and earnestly seeks to be delivered from it, when he is determined to walk, not in his old ways or live as he formerly lived, but turns to the God he had spurned and puts his trust in the Saviour He has provided-this is genuine repentance! We read of “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” The repentant man now finds in Christ not only a Saviour from all his sin and guilt, but also One who gives him a new life in order that he may walk henceforth in a new way. He will live no longer in bondage to the things which dominated and controlled him in the past. 3. True faith as taught by the apostle Paul is mans response To God and His promises and this involves absolutely obedience to the faith. Without obedience to the faith here is empty profession of faith and definitely invalidates faith in God. Listen and meditate on what the apostle wrote in his letters to the ROMANS:By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name. ROMANS 1:5 ROMANS 16:26 But now is made manifest ,and by the scriptures of the prophets , according to the commandments of the everlasting God,made known to all nations for the obedience of faith. 4.Gods grace of salvation in CHRIST is with conditions and requirements for men to obey because He is the dispenser and author of mens salvation; God determines the outcome and result of this salvation. God is the source of this divine salvation by grace in Christ, therefore men must obey and meet His requirements for people to be saved. It is not mens position to determine salvation by his choices but God: for this is for men to obey Gods commands and stipulations for men to be saved. 5. INDEED, the pure grace of God in Christ is given to all as a free gift but only those who will come to Christ to receive the gift of salvation will have and possess the power to become children of God or in other words be saved. Those who will not come to Christ by the Lords invitation to come to receive the gift because of unbelief, rejection and refusal to acknowledge Christ as Lord and Saviour will not enjoy Gods blessings but eternal punishment in the wrath of God in the lake of fire. JOHN 1:12; ISAIAH 55:1 ; JOHN 5:40; MATTHEW 11:28-29; REVELATION 22:17 But as many a received him, t them gave he power to become the sons of God ,even to them that believe on his name: JOHN 1:12 ISAIAH 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy , and eat; yea, come,buy wine and milk without money and without price. JOHN 5:40, And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. MATTHEW 11:28-29Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden , and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.. REVELATION 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
