IF CALVINIST DOCTRINE IS TRUE....? by steve finnell

Calvinist doctrine states that those who are saved are saved by grace alone. They teach that God preordained each individual that would be saved. Calvinists believe that men are saved by faith alone, in other words if anyone believes that Jesus is the Son of God he is saved at point in time.

Calvinists believe that God gives those, whom He has selected for salvation, the faith so they may believe and be saved.

If Calvinists believe their own doctrine, do they believe God forces some to believe and then forces them to fall away? (Luke 8:13 "But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.---NKJV)

If Calvinists believe their own doctrine, do they believe God forced many rulers to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, and then caused them to not confess Him so they would be lost? (John 12:42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;---NKJV)

Calvinists believe that in order to be saved you only have to believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Do Calvinists believe God preordained, for salvation, those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God and also believe in free-will?

Calvinists believe that men are saved by faith alone. Do Calvinists believe, that those who believe men are saved by faith plus water baptism, are also saved?

Even demons believe that Jesus is the Son of God.(Matthew 8:28-29 When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. 29 And suddenly they cried out, saying. "What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?---NKJV)

Calvinist doctrine is not God's doctrine.
