Ephesians 2:3b: "[We] were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind."
Romans 3:10-11: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God."
Romans 8:7-9: "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him."
1 Corinthians 2:14: "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned."

Man can never will salvation. If man is going to be saved, man has to do it God's way. Man can't will it any other way. God's way is through Jesus Christ, by believing the gospel of His death, burial and resurrection for sins. That's Romans 9 contrary to Calvin's private interpretation.

The P in Tulip is actually worse than works salvation , because its more subtle . Christians are more likely to get drawn into the P because it looks like Eternal security . Some who don't know the difference between Calvinism and Arminism ( they both are wrong for the same reasons ) will ask which one believes in OSAS ? And of course the answer comes back " oh us calvinists do " ..From there you have the beginnings of a calvinist convert .

Glad to hear your all for a changed life. NO problem with you whatsoever then. I like you bro
You are right, no one believed in what is KNOWN as calvinism today before Augustine "systematized it" and the version Augustine held to is different from the TULIP of today. Augustine believed in a losable salvation, ATLEAST based on how I understood his statements when I was reading his writings.

No, because Paul said he was in love with this present world etc.
Being in love with this present world in the Bible is not a good thing, and here is proof of why I believe Demas was in fact lost as Paul said it clearly imo:
1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Also in 2 Timothy 4:8 Paul speaks about folks loving the Lord's appearing and given crowns, then two verses later Demas is clearly not one of these fellas, as he is loving the present world.

Don’t you know believers who love this present world? Isn’t it possible?
Demas was a fellowlabourer of Paul
Philippians 1:
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
