No. What I observe is that TOL is crawling with non-Christians or with syncretists whose eyes are veiled to the way they demean God and deny Him the glory due. The failure to grasp God's Sovereign Lordship is a great hindrance to spiritual growth and fellowship with God.
What I know with all confidence is that those whom God chooses will recognize His Sovereign election in their lives. Everyone else will spurn God's authority as you do.
I see it very clearly in Ephesians 2:1-10.MS you appear to ignore 'The Gospel of the Grace of God' as preached by the Apostle Paul. That's telling.
What I notice is your deflection away from your own incapacity to grasp God's unmerited favor in election (even though it is explicitly taught in all the scriptures) and merely blame a dead man for your failures.Some prefer to listen to John Calvin and his ilk. They do that at their own peril. It makes it impossible for them to preach the truth of the ONLY Gospel available.
These confused folks cannot understand that God, in His sovereignty, gives people choices to make; including choosing between life and death.:dizzy:

I guess saying something twice leaves no doubt where one stands and thusly cannot wiggle out of when effectively challenged. Good.Some prefer to listen to John Calvin and his ilk. They do that at their own peril. It makes it impossible for them to preach the truth of the ONLY Gospel available.
So, only the nation called "Israel" has ever been chosen by God? In your opinion, God doesn't choose anyone or adopt them as His own?Israel was chosen of God (Elected) because of Abraham. Today, the 'Gospel of the Grace of God' and all it includes is open to individuals (not special groups of people) who hear the Gospel and are willing (by their own free-will) to place their faith in Christ as their Savior.

Let's just poke at that word "impossible" a wee bit.

Apparently not even a single one of them preached "the truth of the ONLY Gospel available". After all, per your doubly strident assertion, it is "impossible." In fact, one need not even read a single one sermon listed, given a declared impossibility. :AMR1:
Such is the nonsense that comes from hyperbolic speech toadying to the crowd. It makes for entertainment and being seen, but really not much more.
Sigh.

Here's my request.
Provide scripture proving your position. Show us that God is passively sitting in heaven, waiting for the humans who are intelligent enough and rational enough to believe in God.
When you provide scripture, show me the context surrounding it so that I and everyone else can see what the writer is addressing as a whole.
Presently you have done nothing but shout a mantra of "Calvin is bad, Calvin is bad." Now is the time for you to put up or shut up.
Knock our socks off with scriptural passages showing how God doesn't get involved in choosing His children.

It is your responsibility. I have provided numerous verses and passages showing God's continuous choosing of His children from Genesis to Revelation. If you cannot present your biblical argument, I then consider you to have conceded me the argument.It's not my responsibility (or any Christians) to make sure you or anyone else become a member of the 'Body of Christ.' I believe the Holy Spirit draws ALL men/women to the 'Gospel of the grace of God.' if the unbeliever hears the Gospel and places their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, the Holy Spirit seals and indwells the unbeliever and they become a 'child of God' and a member of the 'Body of Christ.' It's a process and the work of the Holy Spirit from start to finish. The ONLY part an unbeliever has in that process is, they provide the necessary faith.
Ephesians 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise"

Goodbye, GM.You may consider anything you wish about 'Old GM.' Do you really believe I lie awake at night filled with anxiety and panic attacks about what MS thinks of me? Surely, you jest.
Goodbye, GM.
I accept your admission of defeat.
