I pray for them and tell them the gospel, and meanwhile i make sure my life is lined upreformedfan said:What to do about your friends if you're a Calvinist:
pray for them
tell them the Gospel
pray for them
trust in God's sovereignty.
What to do about your friends if you're Arminian (I'm pretty sure, lemme know if I forget something):
pray for them
tell them the Gospel
urge them to repeat after you & chant the 'sinner's prayer'
rejoice in their salvation
wonder why they don't seem to be growing
pray for them
become concerned that they lost their salvation
wish you were more skillfull at speaking, then it might have 'took'.

That God selected us from the beginning, not because of what we can do, but for His glory. Im sorry im abit slow on Calvinism. My church has only talked about 2 times. First time, i didnt care nor did i understand it. second time i was currious about it and listened to it and bought a book about itreformedfan said:what does that mean, in your mind?

Well, prayers are mostlikly going to be answered if your right with God, ex:He'll give you more chances/oppertunities to share and will give you wisdom and remebrence of the verses in the Biblereformedfan said:whaddya mean?
Do you have to be sinless to tell people the Gospel?
What is it that justifies a sinner, in your opinion.
East Valley Bible Church (nondenomination)reformedfan said:ohhhh, cooooool! What kinda church is it?
What book is it?
Sweet around the same age group too! ill try to find it around where i live!reformedfan said:If you read "The reformed Doctrine of Predestination" by Loraine Boettner, that book is excellent, a must read 'round here.
It'll answer every question you have but didn't realize you had, in a simple & straight forward fashion.
My teenaged sons (now age 14 & 15) read it last year & it didn't give them cancer, or hurt their backs or anything. Try it out!
Most libraries in the US do 'inter library loans' where if they don't have the book, they'll seek across the country for it & order it for you for free, just get it from them, or Cumberland Valley Bible Book Store is dirt cheap resource for reformed books.
"Easy Chairs, Hard Words" by I can't remember is another dandy, easy book.
