Predestination and Your Selection


The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce this sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:

1:09:19

Might God have predestined you to part of His elect? Is five part TULIP Calvinism accurate? Has God predestined some to be saved and others to be lost? Do you have a choice? Do you have free will? Does God expect you to obey and walk as Jesus walked? What about the parable of the sower? What is the second most looked up scripture? What is the plan mentioned in Jeremiah 29? Are Christians supposed to be ambassadors? Who is called in the age to come? Do you want to be part of the first resurrection? Is there a reason that mostly the poor and not the rich and wise are being called now in this age? What are reasons that you should be diligent and not lukewarm about your possible calling? Dr. Thiel addresses these and other issues.
