I agree with some of the things they say also, but that doesn't make us Calvinist. We are Christians. Calvinist know all about Calvinism because they invented it. Christ is all we need. Toss Calvin in the dumpster where He belongs. He said some very bad things.
Read all of John .The Vine and the Branches.
15:16
You did not choose me,but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last.
Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
This is my command:Love each other.

I had a supernatural birth....I will never deny that.....I felt the Lord’s pure ,true Love coming into my spirit...I will never ever deny that...that is how I was saved....I recognised the Holy Spirit straight away....I could not resist him.......his Love turned my Spirit to putty..I fell in Love with him instantly.
That is my testimony...nothing dirty in it what so ever....just pure,true Love of God.
I remember it like it happened yesterday....that was 28 yrs ago.
YOU could not resist Him.
That was You not anyone else.
Others can and do resist.
That was me.....did I speak for others?
Did i say God must come that way to all......” no I didn’t “......for some reason as soon as I see you quote a post of mine...I get a very uneasy feeling in my Spirit.
Not being offensive...that is my problem and am asking God to reveal why I get that feeling around you.
I see you haven’t acknowledged my post addressed to you dc...sorry to see that.
I am not saying you are saying it....but Calvinism does.
They teach it is irrestible for everyone.
That is the distinction I am making.
I am in Australia, was watching the NRL game, and what should I say...I hope you are sincere in what you said.....and not one time have I indicated that we are enemies!

Is it biblical if it’s not..then I don’t believe them it is false.
I don’t know how others are saved...only how I was saved....where does God say he is irresistible to all?..he doesn’t .

This is why many do not accept Calvinism.
Agree ... God does not say He is irrestible to all.
Thankfully you found Him to be irrestible.
Yes, this is indeed a beautiful truth. Jesus did love us before we loved Him. All men should have the same testimony that you and I and Dc do, but unfortunately some have rejected His love.
If Christ is indeed preached, then He must be preached as the Savior of the world. Not simply the Savior of the so-called *elect*.
And since TULIP denies that Christ died for the sins of the whole world, you do have ANOTHER GOSPEL. But here is what the Lord Jesus Christ said about Himself:
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
