Title: We are to preach the Gospel to every creature    
     
     
     
     
 
    
 
     
     
     
     
 

 

Since Calvinists believe that everyone is either predestined to be with the Lord or predestined for the Lake Of Fire, they really have no reason to obey this command by our Lord:
And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. -
This is the Great Commission.     It is still in force.     We are expected to carry the Gospel to every creature.     

Jesus did not expect every person to believe, but He wants us to make sure all nations hear the Gospel as it is a criteria for His return.     

and then echoed by the Apostle Paul:
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. -
This is the order of the day to all believers.     

We are each called to publicly proclaim the Gospel.     
We are always to be ready to share the Truth
We are to reprimand and censure those who sin.     
We are to express strong disapproval of evil.     
We are to strongly encourage people to receive Christ.     
We are to stay within the authority of the scriptures with these actions.     

We need to understand that we are not to harangue individuals with the Gospel, just make sure everyone we know hears it from us.

If you don't have a sense of urgency about lost souls, you must believe that 'the Lord has everything under control'.   

To believe that 'the Lord has everything under control' is the very definition of Calvinism.   

What's wrong with Calvinism?   

→ The nonchalant attitude that it engenders regarding the Gospel.   
→ A sense of fatalism
→ A feeling of irresponsibility
→ A total lack of the kind of faith our Lord taught

But it is comforting to think that it's all going to work out because the Lord is pulling all the strings.
