Biblical Predestination to Glory vs. Calvinist Predestination to Faith: Romans 9, John 6, Ephesians 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798265113030)

"There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory," 1 Cor. 15:41. "For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son," Rm. 8:29. Not, "he also predestined to believe." "As many as were ordained to eternal life believed," Acts 13:48. Not, "as many as were ordained to believe, believed." But per Calvin, "We were ... ordained to faith" (Eternal Predestination, Kindle 66).

"Moreover whom he predestined, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified," Rm. 8:30. The Golden Chain of Salvation doesn't include faith. Yet, Calvinists always include faith in this sequence the Bible never includes it in. That's the essense of Calvinism. "The Reformed view holds that we are elected unto faith," Sproul, Reformed Theology, 170. "Men ... are ... elected to believe. ... He chose us ... that we might believe. ... We [are] called ... that we may believe," Augustine, On Predestination, Kindle 89361-89425-7. "The meaning can be stated, ... 'Whom he predestined, them he also called to believe, '" Lloyd-Jones, Romans, 243. This one difference between Calvinism and the Bible makes all the difference!

The purpose of this book is to use the critical biblical detail of predestination to glory, not to faith, to provide better expositions of the main passages that cause good men to think they have to believe in Calvinism: Romans 9, John 6, and Ephesians 1.
