" Here is Spurgeon talking about our lives drawing someone to God, when it is (according to Calvinism) only God that can do that!"

That's pretty weak FTD; no calvinist here has alluded that we cannot be tools in the Lord's hands. You want it to be you, while Calvinists admit that it is the Lord.

According to Calvinism nothing can draw a dead man anywhere! You guys love to have it both ways. How can a dead man be drawn anywhere? God has to first regenerate them! Isn't that you all teach! No unregenerate man can desire or seek God-period.

Spurgeon wons souls because he presented the Gospel as an appeal to the sinner to make a decision, not to wait for God to regenerate him.
