Ditch the Garbage! - Too many people are proud of their humility - I, on the other hand, am not humble - and am proud of it!
"Luther's New Testament was so much multiplied and spread by printers that even tailors and shoemakers, yea, even women and ignorant persons who had accepted this new Lutheran gospel, and could read a little German, studied it with the greatest avidity as the fountain of all truth. Some committed it to memory, and carried it about in their bosom. In a few months such people deemed themselves so learned that they were not ashamed to dispute about faith and the gospel not only with Catholic laymen, but even with priests and monks and doctors of divinity." - A complaint by German humanist Johann Cochlaeus.

Brandan, thank you for this article, and I couldn't agree with you more. I am with you, when someone will listen to me, I merely "proclaim" the good news. I don't try to get them to make a decision or pray a prayer, that's a bunch of evanjellyfish crap. I believe that when an elect individual hears the gospel at God's ordained time the Lord grants them faith in Christ. When a reprobate hears the gospel God hardens them further and creates more hatred for His Son in their hearts/minds.

Brandan, this article is outstanding and I concur! Not once in the Word of God does anyone that is proclaiming the Gospel tell the hearers that Jesus loved them or lead them in a so called sinners prayer. Choosing Christ is wrong, for no one chooses Christ, but it is God that chose His people before the foundation of the World. Excepting Christ is not Biblical terminology. Receiving Christ is.
I love the conversion of Moses and the Apostle Paul. Nether of them were seeking God, nor did God give them a choice. God told them what there were to do and that was that and so it is with us all. Our conversion might not be as dramatic. When one really understands this, then one can grasp that it is by the will of God and that the sinner had nothing and I mean NOTHING to do with it.
Rom 8:18-21, (NASB), For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

Amen, Brother arminian proselytizers are usually obnoxious and ignorant. "He shall save His people from their sins" Matt. 1:21
