Calling on Christ to save you may be a work if you want to call it that.

But its the only thing that is going to save you from eternal damnation.

The early church called attention to Jesus, who was appointed as Savior and given authority as Lord to save not only the Jews but also the Gentiles. The work of salvation, then, is worldwide in scope (John 3:16) for all kinds of persons, not each and every person.



For the sins of the whole world does not mean that every person will be saved, for John is clear that forgiveness of sins comes only to those who repent and believe the gospel (see 1 John 2:4, 23; 3:10; 5:12; John 3:18; 5:24).

And those who repent and believe the Gospel are all, anyone, everyone, whosoever that shall hear and believe.

I find your doctrine of predestination to be sick and disgusting.

The Bible teaches that salvation has been provided for everyone, Hebrews 2:9, not for just "Some Certain Persons."

Why does it look like you two are basically saying the same thing here? :think:

Romans 3:25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;​

You teach salvation by works, by what a person does, that is a false gospel.

Because he is deceptive.

As a Calvinist he believes that Jesus only died for "Some Certain Persons" and he just happens to be one of them.
