this in no way invalidates the Scriptural command that all men should repent of their sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You are correct that they ever will do this without the saving work of God's Spirit.

Back to the old shell game. "All men should repent" but only a few can do so (i.e. are capable of doing so) because God prevents the others from repenting because he damned them, yada, yada, yada. How Clintonian.

The distinction is not that they will "[n]ever will do this without the saving work of God's Spirit" but that you guys say that saving work just isn't available to them. Too bad for them.

I realize this is the age of euphemisms, but why not be intellectually honest enough to simply state your view and let everyone see it for what it is.

Same old winston. Yep, Jerry, I'll admit it. Calvinism teaches that God actively prevents people who want to repent from actually doing so. Calvinism is a monster. Oh, the horrors of it all. Such fatalism and fanaticism. <SARCASM>

BTW, winston have you figured out my gospel question yet. It might help if you abandoned your false gospel beliefs that your Arminian forefathers gave you and actually read what the Bible says: 5 words exactly to name it; 3 words exactly to express it. After you understand this, then you may begin to preach it.
