It's not the first time the Saudi's have tried this on, and not just because of religion either.

Calvinism is not only the 5 points.

The Reformed Church (which is Calvinist) holds to a Biblical theology on the doctrines and teachings contained in all Scriptures.

It is therefore our way of approaching and teaching the Biblical Doctrines.

Clearly the Doctines of Grace (5 points) are a central theme, since they deal with the major parts of Bible exegesis and exposition. These Doctrines relate to; - God's Sovereignty, Christ and whom He died for, man's status in relation to the power of sin, the work of grace and the Holy Spirit, salvation and it's accomplishment in the life of the saved.

All very central to the preaching of the Word of God.

If you go outside the range of these doctrines, into any other area of thought on teaching Scriptures, then these 5 points affect directly, what one thinks of the whole Bible study and teaching.

In this respect I see Calvinism as the Gospel, - (I do share and teach).

Ultimately, this for me, is the Spirit guiding our church into all truth for His purposes unto salvation.

Dictionary on the word - contingent -

2. liable to happen or not; uncertain; possible:
3. happening by chance or without known cause; fortuitous; accidental:
___________

Therefore your teaching centres upon the human ability (in this case) to ALLOW God to save???

Therefore whose really in charge of salvation? - God or man???

Is he saved???

"Even in the worst situation, where the saints are specifically called upon to commit a wilfully disobedient brother to Satan for the destruction of his body, it is still clearly said to be a measure intended to preserve his spirit in the day of the Lord Jesus (1 Corinthians 5:5). Many passages commonly used to demonstrate that a child of God can carry his disobedience to the point of being lost eternally, demonstrate precisely the opposite. The Lord's sudden action is not a final judgment but the emergency operation of a spiritual surgeon who quickly removes the gangrenous organ to save the patient's soul." (A. Custance)

Abigail
Said
"Entering into the Kingdom of Heaven is contingent on doing the will of the Father. All others will be cast into hell."

But she is still teaching human "doing." - The word contingent means "dependant for existance" -
This is the Popish salvation by human works. In fact she implies God can't save without permission of sinner.

I find that many express that they have a "knowledge" of Calvinism yet have never researched his works. This specifically of those who insist, that they "ONLY" need the Bible and not Calvin or any theological writings.
I'm sure Calvin would agree, "up to a point." However their problem is that they dont know if Calvin is right or wrong, because they never checked.

Those who say they only require the Bible must be careful not to become their own teacher. After all 1Cor 12:28/29, Eph 4:11/12 says otherwise.

Psalm 97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: HE PRESERVETH the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Psalm 31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD PRESERVETH the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer

Psalm 145:20 The LORD PRESERVETH all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy

Psalm 94:14 For the LORD WILL NOT CAST OFF his people, NEITHER will he forsake his inheritance

As God has promised HE will PRESERVE HIS people/Saints.
This is the crux of "P" in TULIP, that which teaches the Perseverance of the Saints.

Election by God is Unconditional and must be so because the mortal is Totaly Depraved.
Atonement by Christ is Limited to the Elect because God would not allow His Son to suffer for the reprobate.
Grace, thanks be to God, is irresistible that by Grace we are saved through faith the gift of God.

God IS love and that is why His decision alone is the Way the Truth and the Life in Christ.

"Simple" - You are joking of course?

What we are discussing is the difference between two theologies in the visible church.
{A} Sovereign God plus Totally Depraved sinner.
{B} Salvation by introducing a human input.

As Spurgeon preached - Calvinism IS the Gospel. I agree.

As for church? The saved are members of the invisible church. Not "ALL" members of any visible denomination. That I accept as a realistic perception.

As to the differences between {A} and {B} above. The fruit of the believer is perceived by the believer.
The fruit of the unbeliever is perceived by the believer.
The Holy Spirit provides the perception.

However in retrospect over history, in for example 10th century Europe, I believe that God had elect who accepted sovereignty and their own depravity, - without the aid of modern theology. They would not have comprehended the theological debate unique to these recent centuries. But there is no academic value to salvation. As that would imply what is anathema to the Reformed Church viz:: salvation by works.

Looks like I'm talking to myself tonight.

The problem is that the "church-goers" will not stand up for their rights or their religion. Too many of them are Liberal and think that Muslims are just another branch of the religious way to heaven. Too many of them are ignorant of the Scriptures and can't even argue against the Roman Popery, never mind Islam. Just look at how many free willers attend church and believe in a god which "cooperates" unto salvation???

All authority comes from God and in todays Britain HE has removed Christian authority from the church and state.

Should the spelling here be "Fallow"???
Soil without the seed???

"Needing" The grace filled minister John Calvin is really not the point.

"Perceiving" the Bible Truth in his work and writings is the way in which the Elect proceed. Just as the Holy Spirit guided Calvin into all Truth, - Thus does HE continue to do so for the Christian today.

Now thats what you call very handy???

Isn't it amazing that in Britain and America the politicians and other bureaucrats, are doing the PC thing and encouraging these Hindus and other idolatries to keep their culture and traditions going.???

Ref your meanderings below.
Anyone who questions the validity of Calvinism can't read the Bible. I've noticed that this error and problem is unique to all you free will - arminian - synergists.

Your surname and family name appears to be "Heresy" from your post.
