What if After Pentecost 120 came out, 1 became Preacher who spoon fed 119 one hour a week. Some of them invited people to church? WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN 3,000 THEN 5,000 CONVERTS? HOW can TODAY be the day of Salvation if I am SILENT? "Silence isn't golden,it's yella (yellow)"J. Vernon Magee In the marketplace DAILY they ceased not to teach and preach. And numbers were added daily such as should be saved. Preach the word to every creature. I WILL tell of THY LOVE AND SALVATION all day long. Look unto the fields they are white unto Harvest put in your sickle and reap. We are More than a CONQEROR. Bold as a LION. Rescuer of those heading towards destruction. Minister of reconciliation. Ambassador. Fisher of men. We are called to be Soldiers. Be like Patton: EXCEEDED ORDERS. Have ZEAL as a cloak or mantle. I have a horse named Mako a Shire-Percheron mare I preach on. I ask over 25 people a day on average if they hope or know if they will go to Heaven? When I am on my horse people flock to pet her and I inform them GOD hath sent the Cavalry to round you up into the family of GOD! PSALMS 1 Those who meditate upon GOD'S WORD will be like a tree planted by the river. GOD has promised us Souls and Boldness! ACTION CURES fear. HALLELUJAH>> <<@killerpankakes says : I became calvinistic by literally just reading scripture. I found out that it was calvinistic after the fact. I was aware of Calvinism but I was convinced it was false until I started reading scripture more.>> <<@TheBereanVoice says : You people continue to misrepresent Calvinist as though you imagine we teach that the will is somehow broken. That is not our view at all. What we deny is that the will is autonomous.>> <<@barryjeter says : I read the comments and get heart broken.......What happened to, I am a born again Christian. I believe in Jesus for my salvation and eternal life. Everything OUT the window.>> <<@SovereigntyofGod7 says : I'm years late to this lol... But is God in complete control or not? Because according to scripture it shows that He runs the entire show. Everything was made for him. He declared the beginning from the end.>> <<@schoolopwielen says : Paul addressed all "why I left Calvinism videos" : You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” On the contrary, who are you, you foolish person.">> <<@donaldkendall6807 says : Now why don't you interview James White or Jeff Durbin?>> <<@711olwage says : Love this Truth❤❤❤❤>> <<@tedfordhyde says : Calvinism is a cult. And their members behave like it.>> <<@tamatoa1652 says : So my question to the Calvinist believers lol. If you find yourself in Hell. Is that predestined?>> <<@fakeyououtdotcom2409 says : So, we were born sinners without having done anything to cause it, but we suffer forever if we don't do something about it? Both your groups believe this, and NO CHANCE it's true. That concept is non-sensical and moreso anti Christ.>> <<@ivan-ej6or says : Both these men simply do not get biblical truth and lead people the wrong way>> <<@FaithinJesusChristalone says : God’s will vs free will This is more biblical.>> <<@Philippi413 says : This video goes for all Protestant theology. Get out of your echo chamber and evaluate your theology against scripture. Imputed righteousness is false, and Christ clearly describes sins that can exclude us from heaven if not repented.>> <<@TheBereanVoice says : One of the most egregious presuppositions you hold is that you have no presuppositions.>> <<@TheBereanVoice says : Please don't think of this as "hate mail" but certainly you know, don't you that Calvinst don't believe there is an issue between God's Sovereignty and human responsibility. We believe in both. Only you provisionists imagine that these two concepts are contradictory.>> <<@brianc6739 says : Try reading 1 Corinthians 1:11-23. People went around saying they were of Paul and Paul himself said I am of Christ. Jesus Christ said this in John 6:44 kjv. God gives every believer the faith to believe and drew each one to himself. Believer, Humble yourself and thank God.>> <<@chrisrealino6684 says : So what is John 3:5-9 then? Is not election? Is it not predestination? Dr. Flowers keep talking about election in Romans but it didnt start there. It all starts in John. John 3:5-9 and John 3:16 are in the same chapter . Think of this, why did not Jesus start telling Nicodemus about John 3:16? Why did he start with explanaing first John 3:5-9? Jesus is explicitly saying that salvation comes from God and man has a responbility to believe it. I dont know how to harmonize those TWIN TRUTHS. Jesus never did. We are commanded to believe both.>> <<@JudeIvyOutdoors says : The election is only referring to the nation of israel?!🤣 you have to be kidding me. The NT talks abt Gods election and choosing of His people if you read your Bible you could see that CLEARLY.>> <<@jeffjvd says : First it was Pelagianism, then Arminianism, what's next? Flowerism?>> <<@philmannino7164 says : Hate mail is a bad thing, but since you talked about echo chambers, Dr. Flowers, why doesn’t Dr. Turek debate Dr. White?. I know Dr. White won’t debate Dr. Flowers again, due to his bad behavior and well honestly from an honest perspective unbiased he lost very badly. And I’m not even a 5 point Calvinist. You guys are in your own echo chamber right now. I am a supporter of Dr. Turek and love what he does, but on this topic, it seems the echo chambers are pretty clear. You should be willing to have a loving debate with Dr. White.>> <<@Manofwar7 says : Calvinism is silly! IMO.>> <<@mikexiong7354 says : We need dr James white here>> <<@Genuinely_Reformed says : Probably shouldn't have made the comment of hate mail. As if we just are an angry mob and people on the other side aren't as much sinners as us. Just saying; it wasn't the kindness thing to say.>> <<@eternalfitness9470 says : Dont trust any of these guys. Simply study the scripture and allow the scripture to speak to you. It explains itself... and if anyone still cant figure it out, pray and ask the Lord Jesus.>> <<@aarronwilson5647 says : Any arguments from scripture or just stories?>> <<@todddoan7654 says : Calvinism is a lie from the murder John Calvin in the 1500, it is a different Gospel. Gal. 1-8>> <<@gabrielemoro2930 says : Would you interview Dr. James White?>> <<@jjgolf8978 says : It’s not either or, it’s both and they don’t contradict it’s simply a divine paradox we puny humans can’t uunderstand>> <<@TheBereanVoice says : If Leighton had ever been a Calvinist, he would know that we do not deny that sinners have free will in that the sense that we are free to choose whatever we want most at a given time. As the Puritans wrote, "What God has determined in eternity, man freely chooses in time. One need not choose between free will and Calvinism. One must choose between an unfounded and unbiblical philosophical concept and Calvinism.>> <<@TheOriginalElDemonio says : This dude got smoked by James White in the debate. It was so bad, I almost felt sorry for him... almost.>> <<@lyndashort6806 says : The miss understanding goes all the way nack to Jesus's time. Even paul had a hard time with it in the beginning. John 8:31-38 i believe helps us understand it. John 1:12-13. Explains also ephesians 2:1-9, Daniel 4, this argument is one about will and liberty. Plagues and aguistien also argued over this. What comes down to is either your a slave to sin or a slave to jesus and when it comes to slavery we know the one who is inslaved is that way by the one who is conciderd there master. Which we all know that master owns us.>> <<@Apoltheo says : This is one topic where I disagree with you. TULIP is a summary of a summary in regard to “Calvinism” and it’s not helpful to debate it. All reformed theology is saying on the matters of salvation is that it’s a both/and. Yes God is sovereign over everything and humans have legitimate free will. Read the Westminster confession of divine providence, that’s the best summary of what reformed theology teaches on the matter>> <<@LeeSumpter-t8z says : Leighton presupposes that all calvinist exegete scripture with soteriological presuppositions.>> <<@ChristianofAsia says : Calvinism is NOT Biblical...>> <<@hoboken9137 says : And who is Israel?>> <<@Tommythecat007 says : Everyone is predestined to bow the knee and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. It's not rocket science. The scripture couldn't be any clearer of what the will of God is what you think he can't accomplish it?... Calvinism is the most abusive non-scriptural heretic version of the gospel I've ever heard.... It more or less poses that the cross was a complete waste of time and not needed.😅>> <<@greatfilmmaker says : When it comes to free, will I just tell the people this have you ever been in a situation where everything in your body was? Telling you to do something and then you didn't do it. Since everybody has experienced that, how can you acquaint that that we don't have free?Will we have free will>> <<@gregoryfairchild2460 says : If your free will is at opposition to God, do you wish to be let go to hell or allow some predestination???>> <<@louskimming4371 says : Below is a comprehensive, curated list of Bible passages that Christians historically cite as teaching God’s sovereignty in election—His initiative, choice, predestination, calling, and mercy according to His will.

Not that hard>> <<@CDay-u3o says : I'd love to see Dr Turek agree to debate Dr. White... I learned a lot from Dr. Turek early on in my walk with Christ, but I've come to realize he hasn't consistently explained scripture in this area, but seems to come with presuppositions of this "free will" term that I cannot seem to find in the Bible. Dr. White has reached out multiple times, and Dr. Turek will not agree to debate him. They are both great debators, and I think this would be extremely helpful. Leighton Flowers on the other hand, has proven himself extremely inconsistent with the way he explains scripture, and I'm disappointed to see Dr. Turek associating with him.>> <<@jgons says : Why are you platforming this divisive false teacher. He’s not a kind or charitable person.>> <<@UndividedChurch says : Calvinism is heresy>> <<@Дмитрийхристианин says : Interesting what would John MacArtur will answer to you>>
