About this Episode

Our 2023 Fall Gospel Meeting comes to a close as Timothy Fleming concludes our study on Calvinism by examining the final pillar in Calvin's doctrine of TULIP - the Perseverance of the Saints. Calvin proposes that those who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit (i.e., those chosen by God) will never fall away from God. However, if this is true, then man has no responsibility to continue making righteous decisions because either God will forgive them regardless of what they do, or they were never saved in the first place.

[1Jo 2:24-25 NKJV] 24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life.

This concludes our 2023 Fall Gospel Meeting on Calvinism. If you are curious about what God's Word really says about these doctrines, please reach out to Sooner East Church of Christ. We would love to study the Bible more closely with you and discuss the rich truth that it holds.
