by Talking to Calvinists and those who lean towards this heresy but say they do not associate, I get this response to me saying that anyone can be saved at any time, “Someone cannot get saved unless God calls them.” I agree wholeheartedly. They always take me straight to John 6:44, neglecting 6:45. After I agree with them that God uses His Word to draw men to him, I then take them to Romans 10:17 to show God’s Word is the only way to salvation. We are in complete agreement until I say that every person ever born has been called unto God.
Then I take them to Romans 1:19-20 where He calls all men by Creation. No man will be able to stand before God and say they never were called unto Him, as Paul said in Romans 1:20, they will be “without excuse” because of God’s Creation.
Then I take them to Romans 2 where God uses man’s conscience to draw them unto Him, then many harden their hard against God. No man will be able to stand before God and say they never were called unto Him, as Paul said in Romans 2:1, they will be “inexcusable” because of their conscience.
Then I take them to Romans 3 where Paul says that God’s Word draws man unto Him. The context leading to Romans 3 is the fact that God calls and man is without excuse for not answering the call. Now in Romans 3, Paul says that if man does not believe God’s Word that has been put before them, it does not change the power of God’s Word to saved all who do believe. Romans 3:3-4 says, “For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
God has put everything possible in man’s way so they will be without excuse, and will never be able to say that God never called them. The scripture cannot be clearer!
CALVINISM IS A WICKED TOOL OF THE DEVIL!
The title of this pondering is, “You Cannot Get Saved Unless God Calls You.”Can I say, that if you are still living and breathing, God is still calling you at this very moment!
Romans 1 — God calls man by His Creation
Romans 2 — God calls man by man’s conscience
Romans 3 — God calls man by His Word
