"Job offer" typifies the false works gospel.

God raised me from the dead so I could be his slave. And glad for it.

If God's grace is not for all, how do you know it's for you? Because you are a Calvinist?

You have claimed that we have a works salvation, how do we know that you don't have a works salvation?

Faith is the evidence he saved me. I could not believe otherwise.

Sometimes I think you people just make up these comments on the fly, and it shows.

And the faith/evidence of all those who aren't Calvinist? Are they all wrong about their salvation?

But there are poor doomed souls out there that don't have the same privilege of grace like you, right Dave.

You are sure that you are the chosen and they are not, right?
It's like a lottery God drew names from a bucket.

And let it be known that sin is the reason for their judgment. Grace is something God gives unconditional. Not something earned or merited as the “offer” suggests.

We don't work to get saved, we work because we are saved.

Some work more than others but God does not fire them.

Your salvation is from the legalism view not from grace.

But you constantly tell us we are doing what you have just proved you are doing.
Quite the opposite

God shows grace to "whosoever will call on His name." Not to who He selects and to bad for the rest.

The fact the arminian finds God unjust to show mercy to some and not all proves that you believe God owes us the blessings of His salvation

Honestly, Calvinists have been duped because they are entirely too easy. There are just so many things wrong with the view overall, that most people just know it's wrong. The leaders of this are simply making their congregation feel as though they're special, and that, on top of the easy ways to heaven, is all it takes to suck in the small minded.
