Somewhat different between Calvinists. Many Presbyterians have been involved with Billy Graham crusades and participated in counseling.One of the travesties of Calvinism is, it takes the simplicity of Paul's Gospel (the Gospel of the grace of God) and uses a 'false doctrine' to make the Gospel more complicated than it is. When a Calvinist shares the Gospel with an unbeliever, does the Calvinist bring up the 'theory' of predestination and the Elect? Or, do they avoid discussing that part of their doctrine, for fear it will hinder their testimony of faith? After all, if you tell an unbeliever that they may or may not be one of the elect, that would tend to confuse the listener, would it not?
As far as doctrine, it 'happens' so there is less need to explain in as much detail as you are inquiring. Take for example your salvation, ask a couple of questions and I'll see if I can answer them for you. :e4e:
