After reading about the life and beliefs of Calvin,I am SO an Arminian !


"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me. John 12:32

1 John 2:2, "and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."

Romans 10:13; Revelation 22:17. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come, And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely."

I Timothy 4:10. "For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe."

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." —Romans 5:8

1 Tim. 2:4-6:
"who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time."

•"The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)

•For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; (1 Peter 3:18)

"Robert G. Farley gives an illustration which can be applied here: "The prospective mother prepares a complete and beautiful outfit for her expected child. But the child is still-born. Yet the outfit was prepared just the same as if it had lived. And Christ's work is completed as much for one man as for another, as much for the unbeliever as for the believer."

A Calvinist cannot go out into the world and tell the lost "Jesus died for you", they must say Jesus may have died for you, if you're lucky.
