Please forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to get my head around Calvin theology. My question is does anyone that hears and accept the gospel of Christ become saved if they accept Christ as there saviour?

Good day,
Here is a good start:
Sermons by Charles Spurgeon about each of the 5-points of Calvinism using the T.U.L.I.P. acronym.
Enjoy and be blessed.
T of TULIP
U of TULIP
L of TULIP
I of TULIP
P of TULIP
Those that have been given hearing by the word (faith commeth by hearing and hearing by the word of God), do hear the gospel and run to the Lord for salvation in light of their own sin and the forgivness which he has provided for them at the cross.
In Him,
Bill

God makes the hearing ear, and the seeing eye. No man can come to Jesus unless the Father draw him(John 6:44).

When you go to a Reformed Church, you won't see your usual offer for people to "come to the altar and accept Jesus" bit. You see that stuff in mostly Contemporvana churches that are WOF or Pentecostal/Charismatic.

I'm trying to sincerely understand this point but I can't seem to get a straight answer to this question. Idk I've always been kind of a bottom line guy.

How do you know that they 'accepted Christ'? Just because they said so? Just because they said a little public prayer?

OK true so I'll rephrase it. If a any person sincerely accepts Christ as there saviour are they saved?

Good Day, Shawn
The question is a bit loaded.....
If they hear yes, but thier hearing is a work of God
Accept Christ as savior... um not a biblical concept.
The Gospel... means a lot of things to different people...
Those given to the son by the Father that has a result of the work of God in giving them new hearts. Come to Christ for the forgivness he secured for them by his before the world began, and seen in time at the cross. He died so that they will live, he is and always was their lord and saviour and no body can change that. The preaching of the Gospel is the only means the Father ordained to be used to draw his own to himself and give only them to his son for salvation.
Does that help??
In Him,
Bill

My Pastor always says that no one can be saved apart from the truth. And saving faith isn't an act that is dependent on man as if puney man is sovereign.
