I have believed for quite some time now that most preachers today are infants. They know little about the God they preach and less about the actual atonement that they claim. Man in their mind is the controller of his own destiny, good or bad. Christ is helpless to save anyone with out their consent. What an impotent savior. We declare that God has an elect people chosen in him from the foundation of the world and they cannot be anything but saved when it all said and done. Christ died so as to secure their obedience, which he will have.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out
Matt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
