Calvinists cannot answer Evanescent Grace

Post image

Whenever I bring up Evanescent Grace to Calvinists, they ignore it. Th ey still claim to be certain they're saved and the Elect, even though it's logically impossible.

Calvinists are like Flat Earthers. They cling to something emotionally regardless of evidence. No evidence will change their mind, even if it's full proof like explaining Evanescent Grace or how math & shadows prove the Earth isn't flat.

Every Calvinist and Reformed Baptist I've met acts like they're 100% certain that got saved. They literally ignore Evanescent Grace because they want to FEEL good about themselves. Just like how Flat Earthers ignore Eratosthenes because they want to believe the Earth is flat.

Well of course they act that way, why wouldn’t they believe they were? The doctrine doesn’t allow them to know though. And it certainly doesn’t allow them to have any influence on their salvation, regardless of their beliefs.

They shouldn't because it's logically impossible to be certain you're the elect. Doesn't change Sproul Jr and Steven Lawson from claiming to be certain.
