  2. We Do Not Believe Limited Atonement Is True • Limited Atonement-“Means that Christ’s reconciling act, though adequate for all humankind, is beneficial only for the elect. Those who have not been chosen by God may be edified by the example of Christ, but they will not be saved by His work.” • (Presbyterians, Their History and Beliefs, Walter Lingle, p.36)

  3. We Do Not Believe Limited Atonement Is True • “God calls humans beings (or at least some humans) to a special relationship and destiny.” (ibid. p. 103) • “Double predestination is the conviction that if God actively chooses some people, he therefore must choose not to choose some others. ( ibid. p.103)

We Believe God’s Grace Is For All Men • Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, • Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

  7. We Believe Whoever Desires, May Take Freely • Revelation 22:17 • And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

  8. We Do Not Believe Irresistible Grace Is True • Irresistible Grace-“Means that when God undertakes to save a person by his grace or umerited favor, that grace is invincible. Even in making every effort, a person could not refuse it. Therefore no credit should be due for accepting it.” • (Presbyterians, Their History and Beliefs, Walter Lingle, p. 36)

  9. We BelieveWe Can Refuse The Call Of God • Proverbs 1:24 Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, • Proverbs 1:29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD,

  10. We BelieveWe Choose To Serve The Lord • Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

  11. We BelieveWe Can Resist The Holy Spirit • Acts 7:51 • "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

  12. We BelieveYou Can Not Believe Unless You Hear • Romans 10:8-17 13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

  13. We BelieveFaith Comes By Hearing The Word Of God • Romans 10:8-17 • So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
