I think this is one reason evangelism fails.

I've read that some of the greatest evanglist have been Paulinist (Calvinist) does anybody have any transcripts of thier preaching?

John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, and a great preacher.

George Whitefield, the greatest evangelist, ever to set foot on American soil.

John Paton - Missionary to New Hebrides.

Jonathan Edwards - William Carey - Charles Haddon Spurgeon and others.



It was the hopeful doctrine of election that God used to encourage the Apostle Paul when he was afraid to go to Corinth; God said to him, ". . . I have much people in this city " (Acts 18:9, 10).



No, the doctrine of Election does not dampen evangelism if it is rightly held, but rather, it guarantees the success of it and should be the greatest encouragement that we have.

I just finished reading Pilgrim's Progress about a week ago. That is such a great book.

That guy was very talented.

God bless

Yes, did you read the 2nd part? About Christianna? It's not as good as the one about Christian. The book really changes a Christian's perspective on life after they read it. The whole book is about "overcomming' it is a simultude or allegory.

Sorry to be the one to tell you but you just destroyed any possibility of about 80% of this MB ever reading it by showing his affiliation to Calvinism.

Too bad. It's probably a great book. I'll check it out. I'm not afraid of the truth.

Thanks for sharing.

God bless

So what? He doesnt propigate Calvinistic Ideals is his book. Its your loss if you dont read it because of a reason like that. I think you'll like it.

Yes, I read the second part. I was glad to see Christian's wife and children embrace his faith.

God bless

I'm a reformed Christian. I wasn't referring to my desire to read it on that basis. I was talking about most of the other Christians on this MB.

I'm sure I would like it.

God bless
