What Is Calvinism or Reformed Theology

John MacArthur, who teaches Calvinism, teaches EXACTLY the same way Charles Stanley church, a Southern Baptist congregation, pumps that out! In fact, John MacArthur teaches WORSE by also saying believers often fall into sin.

Transcript, observations and comments for the Mark Driscoll vs. Dan Corner Eternal Security Debate.

Calvinist Mark Driscoll gets the Skull and Crossbones Award for various reasons. He is deserving of it!

Watch video of observation regarding the Driscoll vs. Corner eternal security debate.

Hear the audio radio debate between Dave Hunt and Dan Corner on eternal security.Hunt believes EXACTLY like the Calvinists, that is, once a person is saved he will always remain saved.

This was one of Dan's radio interviews on Calvinism. This one was out of California. Informative!

Though it is basic and fundamental to the Scriptures regarding the Christian life, very few in our day seem to be aware of the fight-to-death conflict Christians are in with the sinful nature.

One of the most disheartening aspects about Calvinism is how the proponents sometimes try to conceal what they actually believe, but readily teach the same at other times, under different circumstances. I have seen this over and over throughout the years regarding their fifth point: the perseverance of the saints.

Dozens of DANGEROUS false teachers are listed here. Some are Reformed, others are not.

What does it take to disprove eternal security? Is it hard or impossible to disprove this teaching? Is one forced to logically consider the Calvinistic understanding of election to properly know about eternal security or not?

The Calvinistic concepts of Total Depravity (and original sin) are not Scriptural. Babies and little children are alive spiritually. All babies who die, go into the presence of God and not hell, unlike what Calvinism teaches. There is an age of accountability, which is implied in Scripture.

If there has ever been a chapter describing the Christian that has been hated and avoided by the popular religious leaders of our day it has to be Romans 6. This is especially true among the eternal security proponents who: (1) want us to think we must sin all the time and (2) distort grace into something it isn't.

For a person to say that a professing Christian was never saved, if he turns away from God to sin, is fallacious in at least 7 different areas. If you are a Christian, carefully ponder the following so you can help others see the dangerous folly of such a declaration.

It is very common to run into religious people who would identify themselves as four point Calvinists, three point Calvinists on down to one point Calvinists. Such people reject one or more of the five points of Calvinism's TULIP, but always seem to embrace the most deadly of the five - the perseverance of the saints (or eternal security). How logical is it for such a person who calls himself a Calvinist to be less than a five point Calvinist in light of the theology of Calvinism?

The Calvinists exalt Augustine of Hippo as a great theologian. In fact, John Calvin systemized Augustine's doctrines and this is, to a large degree, the Calvinism presented today. What a surprise it will be for many to read the following prayer from him, their real founder, to Mary for salvation.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a famous Baptist minister who, among other things, pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, smoked cigars and wrote a Defense Of Calvinism. That so-called "defense" has been examined and refuted!

You are about to read an important part of church history from the Reformation period that has been so concealed in our day that very few people know the facts. Brace yourself for a shock. On October 27, 1553 John Calvin, the founder of Calvinism, had Michael Servetus, the Spanish physician, burned at the stake just outside of Geneva for his doctrinal heresies! What Calvin did to Servetus was shocking!

We live in such a dark spiritual hour that people who have behaved in a most reprehensible way and taught in clear bold contradistinction to the Scriptures are held up as great spiritual lights and theologians. John Calvin is such a man!

Since our book, "The Believer's Conditional Security" has exposed the John Calvin - Michael Servetus scandal, some dye-in-the-wool Calvinists have futilely tried to protect their leader from the obvious by endeavoring to shift the blame away from Calvin and confusing the issue. They continue to maintain it was not John Calvin who was responsible for his inhumane unscriptural death!

If one is acquainted with the various ways eternal security is presented, he will notice there are two versions of this false doctrine. The Reformed version that the Calvinists embrace is called the Perseverance of the Saints.

What is Calvinism? Is It different today than it was? No. Calvinism has always allowed for a Christian to be immoral under their warped concepts of grace and salvation.

The real issue isn't if one was truly saved or not (even though that is important), but instead is he saved now. There are over a dozen examples of people in the Bible who once had salvation and afterwards died spiritually and became lost again.

The following are misconceptions and strawman arguments that eternal security people use to falsely accuse and discredit Christians like us who teach a conditional security for the believer.

Short audio message on how one should understand John 10:28.

Can the Christian now relax and do nothing as far as his salvation is concerned? Does salvation security exist to that degree? If not, then what should he do? Is there salvation maintenance under grace? Is doing anything a violation of Biblical grace?

In a nutshell, the teaching of imputed righteousness from the Reformed view point is: a person once saved is holy and righteous without living holy and righteously (eternal security). In other words, a Christian takes on Jesus' righteousness at the point of salvation and this righteous and holy standing before God can never be changed even by the most vile and heinous evils that could afterwards be committed.

Certainly one of the powerfully devastating passages to eternal security is the last two verses in the book of James. Sadly, too few people are aware of these verses and those who are probably first noticed them in their own personal Bible reading time and never heard them taught.

Saving Faith and The John MacArthur Smokescreen

Read this and be shocked by John MacArthur's teaching about saving faith!

Eternal security teacher, Ray Comfort, is often held up as the standard on how to evangelize the unsaved. He has untold numbers using his unsound approach, but seemingly they are not aware of it. His primary approach is...
