Warning Beware of Calvinism’s T.U.L.I.P. Beware of False Prophets / False Teachers.
Explaining Calvinism’s T.U.L.I.P. is an essential part of every Pastor’s job. Christian Churches are failing because Pastor’s do not Warn Christians about False Religions like Calvinism. This is why Calvinism has creeped into nearly every Christian Church. The Pastor’s embrace it and the people in the pews are ignorant of what the Bible Teaches.
2nd Peter 2:1 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
Vs 1) Calvinism’s Damnable Heresies: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, Perseverance of the Saints. Calvinists deny Jesus.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
Vs 2) Many (Millions) follow Calvinism’s pernicious ways. Every Reformed Church is a Calvinist Church. Almost every Baptist Church teaches Calvinism.
Calvinist: Deny the Gospel. Like all Cults they speak evil of Christianity, of Christians.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Vs 3) Calvinist Churches are all about merchandising. They have made Billions of dollars.
Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
The Bible says people are Saved by Believing the Gospel:
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
The Bible teaches that Jesus died for all the Sins of the whole World. That Salvation is a Free Gift offered to everyone willing to Believe the Gospel. Jesus wants everyone to be Saved.
1st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Calvinism: Denies 1st Timothy 2:4 “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” and 1st Timothy 2:6 “Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”
Calvinism teaches that Jesus did not die for ALL Men. For ALL SIN.
Calvinism, is also called Reformed Theology (A way to pretend they are not Calvinists) is a False Religion, not Christianity.
Calvinism’s T.U.L.I.P.:
Total Depravity
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement
Irresistible Grace
Perseverance of the Saints
Total Depravity:
Was Falsely derived from the concept of original sin. It teaches that, as a consequence of man’s fall. Man cannot resist Evil, refrain from Sinning. Every person born into the world is enslaved to Sin.
Because of their Fallen Sin Nature. And, apart from the Efficacious (Irresistible grace) or Preventive (Enabling) Grace of God, People are unable to choose by themselves to Believe on Jesus to Save them.
Simply put: Total Depravity according to Calvinist’s overpowers Man’s Will. Calvinist Deny the Bible Doctrine of The Free Will of Man. “Fallen man is unable is to love, obey or please God.” Man is completely incapable of loving or obeying God.
All of this goes against man’s Free Will given by God. It is saying that no one can chose to Believe on Jesus by their own Will. That God decides who will be Saved by giving the Elect the Chosen Irresistible Grace.
Unconditional Election:
Calvin’s doctrine of unconditional election (Predestination) contends that God has Predestined some people to be Saved and some people to be Lost. This doctrine maintains that Man does not have a Free Will.
Calvin taught that God did not elect (Predestine) people by just looking into the future to see who would and would not obey. Calvin taught that God Literally Elects some people to be Saved. Everyone Else God Sends to Hell.
Calvinist God is EVIL. He Just Throws People Into HELL with no opportunity to Ever be Saved.
Limited Atonement:
Jesus Christ’s Blood only Atoned (Limited Atonement) for the Sins of Some people. Only the very few people who were Predestined. The people who are not Predestined to be Saved have No Way of being Saved and are Eternally Lost from birth.
This is Evil! NOT in the Bible.
The truth of the Bible refutes this Lie:
1st Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
Jesus Died for ALL!!! Not Some. Limited Atonement IS SATAN’S LIE!!! JESUS DIED FOR ALL!!!
Living for Jesus is not a requirement for Salvation. Many people get Saved and never serve Jesus in anyway. There are many verses in the Bible that talk about these selfish Saved people who refuse to serve Jesus.
Irresistible Grace:
God only calls the Elect through the Word, those chosen by God. The Holy Spirit illuminates their heart and allows only these Elect individuals to be obedient to God’s will.
Once you receive this inward call you are going to (You have no choice, no Free Will to not be obedient to God.) be obedient to God, respond to his will, to be Saved.
It is Irresistible; you have no power to disobey God if you were chosen Elected by God to be Saved.
God has decreed from eternity who would be Saved and who would be Lost, and you are powerless to do a thing about it.
Very Evil!!!
What the Bible Says:
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
Jesus taught that he came to die for the Sins of the Whole World. He came to Save Everyone!!! Everyone who would Believe on Him.
Perseverance of the Saints:
The Eternal Security of the Believer does not depend on his Perseverance. I do not know one single Bible verse that says anything about Christians Persevering. But there are several Bible verses that mention the fact that the Christians have been preserved by Jesus.
Perseverance is one thing. Preservation is another. No. Christians do not Persevere. Christians are Preserved. The Bible says:
Jude 1:1 “Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:”
1st Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
Calvinist Teach: True Christians will Persevere in Faith, and if they don’t, they were never truly Saved in the first place. The Bible makes it plain that the believer is kept by the power of God. He does not keep himself:
1st Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
The Bible teaches the Eternal Security of the Believer. But the Believer’s Eternal Security has nothing to do with his Persevering. Christians are secure because we are kept by God. We are held in the Father’s hand. We have been sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30 “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
Eternal Life:
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
John 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
Eternal means never ending. People who believe they can lose their Salvation are Lost. They are Lost because they think they have to Work to Stay Saved.
If you have to Work for your Salvation than you are helping Jesus to Save you. Your Salvation is Jesus + You. Not 100% Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;”
Calvinist Believe that God is in Control of Everything that happens on the Earth.
So God wants Satan in Control of the World?
2 Corinthians 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
Beware of Calvinism. God does not Control the world / all people in the world.
The reason Satan is the god of this world is because of the Sin, the fall of Adam and Eve.
God did not Control Adam and Eve. God did not and does not control Satan. God did not cause or prevent Adam and Eve from Sinning.
When people say God is in Control they are blaming God for all the Evil in the World. If God is in control than he is the one responsible for rape, murder all the Evils in the World.
God gave Man Free Will.
When people claim God is in Control they are Denying the Bible. They are saying God decides who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. This is the main theme of Calvinist Theology.
Calvinists hardly argue against these verses and these verses are pretty strong to debunk Calvinism.
Hebrews 10:29 “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”
“Of how much sorer punishment…”
Than a mere corporeal death, which was the punishment inflicted on the transgressors of the law of Moses.
“…Suppose ye;”
The Apostle appeals to the Hebrews themselves, and makes them judges of what punishment.
“…and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace;”
Done Despite by denying his Being, Deity, and Personality. By Despising his Powerful Operations as enthusiasm; treating his extraordinary gifts as illusions. And ascribing his miracles to Satan. Representing the Gospel dictated by him as a Fable, a Lie.
This is aggravated by his being “the spirit of grace.”; the author, giver, and applier of all grace to the saints. And who therefore ought not to be in the least slighted, but highly esteemed and honoured. Such affronts do not go unpunished.
God does not enforce, CONTROL one’s heart to do good and another person’s heart to do evil. Calvinists will pull tons of verses to prove that God moves a person’s heart to do an evil deed such as God hardened Pharaoh’s heart.
Psalms 33:15 “He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.”
God is fair, just. God does not Control a person’s heart. God does not Control a person’s will. God does not control World Events.
Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
God is knocking on everyone’s door. God is not being selective. It says: “…if any man hear my voice…” God is talking to everyone. God does not Control who opens the door.
God is knocking on the door of everyone’s heart. He can’t go in and lead us to do the right things unless we let Him in.
A person’s heart can only be more good or more evil depending on how much they open their heart to the Lord.
If our heart wants to do good things (free choice), the Lord’s going to fashion and move that heart to become even more good and more good for His glory.
It’s the same thing with Evil. If we say no to the word of God, then the Lord fashions that heart to that free choice of man where he wants to do Evil and He will harden that person’s heart like Pharaoh or He will move them. Deceive them into a lie on what they want to do and make them commit even more atrocious Sin? Why? No!!! God does not cause people to do anything outside of their Own Will.
Because God gives mankind what they want. That proves even more on Free Will, that God doesn’t make everything happen.
Foreknowledge:
God is all-knowing, which is called Foreknowledge.
Calvinist call God’s Foreknowledge proof that God Controls everything that happens.
Calvinists combined Foreknowledge with God Making it happen/Predestination/God’s counsel. Because of God’s Foreknowledge knowing that it’s going to happen, then obviously He made it happen.
More verses that disprove Calvinism. Lost sinners are able to do good:
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
God gave everyone a conscience that convicts them of Sin. So that everyone would know the difference between Right and Wrong. Everyone chooses either to do Wrong / Sin or to Not Sin and do Right.
Luke 6:33 “And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.”
Notice the verse says that Sinners are Capable of doing Good.
Matthew 7:11 “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?”
(same as Luke 6:33) These evil people are capable of doing good things.
The very Sad Truth is most “Christian” Churches teach Calvinist Theology.
Almost every Baptist Church teaches Calvinist Theology. I am pointing this out because many “Christians” think that the Baptist Church was founded by Jesus and the Apostles… So thus the Baptist Church is the only True Church. Baptist are no different than the Catholic’s who claim they are the one True Church.
Jesus did not start any Denomination neither did any of his Disciples.
