Why I’m NOT a Calvinist

John Calvin was born around 1509, was trained as a humanist lawyer and left the Roman Catholic church around 1530.  He sat up his own system of government in Geneva Switzerland and was similar to a little dictator.  He had a man by the last name of Cervitas killed even after promising him safe passage for coming to debate with him.  He wrote his books known as “Calvin’s Institutes”.  Don’t follow a man not in the Bible.  Psalm 118:8 The Bible tells us it's better to put trust in the Lord than confidence in man. Calvinists vary in how many "points" they adhere to regarding a series of 5 different doctrines.

T-U-L-I-P Calvinists and the 5 “points”
T = Total Depravity.  They say man has no free will and man is totally depraved.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20, we must CHOOSE life.  I Timothy 2: 4 God wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. The word “freewill” is in the Bible 17 times!
U = Unconditional election. Calvinists teach that before the foundation of the world, God chose people to be saved and there is nothing they can do about it.  Also look up the phrase “whosoever will”, 11 times it’s found in the Bible.
L = Limited atonement.  The shedding of blood and Jesus died for all, if we accept it.  Calvin teaches that Jesus only died for a limited amount of people.
I = Irresistible grace
P = Perseverance of the Saints (endure to the end)
