A Biblical Critique of Chuck Smith’s Calvinism Study

A Biblical Critique of Chuck Smith’s Study:

“Calvinism, Arminianism & The Word Of God”

 

In this article we will look at the unbiblical and incorrect statements of Mr. Chuck Smith of “Calvary Chapel” fame, with respect to his study on election and predestination. His study reflects not only his own personal views but that of the leadership of most, if not all Calvary Chapel churches. The “Calvary Chapel” collection of churches represent a sort of pseudo denomination that branched… Continue reading

The Five Articles of the Remonstrants

The Five Articles of the Remonstrants

(Arminian Heresy)

These are often referred to as the 5 points of Arminianism, a “free-will” heresy to which the 5 points of Calvinism were written to address.

 

Article 1.

Am I an Arminian?

Am I an Arminian?

 

Many professing Christians who consider themselves to be “bible-believing” and “evangelical” often have no idea what Arminianism is and that it is the name for the brand of salvation that most churches preach in place of the true Gospel. Arminianism is a doctrine promoted by Jacobus Arminius hundreds of years ago.  This doctrine has crept into the Christian church and has pushed out the true Gospel in most mainline Christian denominations and non-denominational churches of… Continue reading

The Will Of Man

The Will Of Man

by Todd Nibert

“He delivered Jesus to their will” (Luke 23:25). And what was their will? “Crucify Him, crucify Him.” That is man’s will in a nutshell. That teaching that says God wants to save all men, Christ died for all men, and the Holy Spirit is calling all men, but man’s salvation is ultimately dependent upon his own will, is a lie! Those who preach such a message do not believe the Gospel. And those… Continue reading

Christ Died For The Ungodly

by Horatius Bonar

The divine testimony concerning man is, that he is a sinner. God bears witness against him, not for him; and testifies that "there is none righteous, no, not one"; that there is "none that doeth good"; none "that understandeth"; none that even seeks after God, and, still more, none that loves Him (Psa. 14:1-3; Rom. 3:10-12). God speaks of man kindly, but severely; as one yearning over a lost child, yet as one who will make no terms with sin, and will "by no means clear the guilty." <continued>
