Calvinism has become so widespread and popular not only among protestant churches, but also among Baptists so that many among them take pride to be called “Calvinists”. In fact, the Calvinists would often speak that there are only two types of people in this world, that you are either a “Calvinist” or an “Arminian” so that the unawares or ignorant are left without any choice. Their use of Scriptures seem to be convincing until you study well and search out the truth, and find out that they are just wrestling with the Scriptures to fit with man-made doctrines. “As also in all ...

Walter Marshall (1628-1680) explains that sanctification, like justification, is a gracious gift of God and is not the result of human effort. Rather than sanctification being produced by our works, our works are the fruit of God's work of sanctification in us.

Drawing from Scripture and quotes from early Church Fathers such as Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and ...

In an effort to persuade the Calvinists, a fellow minister who used to believe in Calvinism frequently used the term "enabling grace".
