They all come as a package because of the T . Most Christians get duped into thinking the T and some variation of the U is biblical . Most Arminians for example have been blinded by Calvinism. Most Christians think they have to pick from amoung the 5 points ( at least one even ) as if they must have some validity.
Calvinists are preaching a false message .

Calvinism began in the 4th century, so it wasn't an issue . Gnosctism was however. Which is where Calvinism comes from.
the idea that one has to accept the five points is just not true. the labeling is a problem both Calvinist and Arminians argue a position from error. Both do so with pride. Both claim to be saved. neither is the gospel message completely. Both have hurt the fellowship of the church and cause dissension. The unsaved do not know Tiptoeing through the TULIPS. The concept has been given more authority than the Preaching of the Gospel message which is NOT TULIP but the DBR Of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul did not say in Romans
I am not ashamed of the message of TULIP for it is the power of God for salvation NO. Paul said I am not ashamed of The Gospel of Jesus Christ FOR IT IS the POWER OF GOD for Salvation>.
Many on both sides will have much to answer to for causing many to turn away.
FYI I'm not a Calvinist
I just don't through the baby out with the bathwater nor would I suggest those who are Calvinist are unsaved.
I can't fully understand what is not to salvation . for my understanding to servic,calling and purpose all for salvation.
oh.you just answed my another question in my mind.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
No matter whether the doctrines are correct or not, if there is inner contention(in heart), it is impossible to see the image of God.
Simply beautiful. Well done.

For your informationj, most churches are preaching a false message whether they be calvanists or armenian and it has nothing at all to do with what side of the fence they are preaching.
If they preach all you need to do is to accept jesus into your heart they are preaching a false message. The message of Pentecost was repent and be baptised. The church today needs to preach repent and be baptised. If they did that you would not have so many wishy washy Christians.
