Charles Simeon (1758–1836) reinvigorated the English church with his emphasis on the primacy of Scripture and the necessity of practical application.

I once spoke to eighty college students about a sensitive theological question: “Can true Christians lose their salvation?” 

I believe in divine election as taught in Scripture. The "elect” are referred to in ten or so passages and the “chosen” in many others. Col 3:12 calls us “God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved.”

The biblical evidence is substantial for both the Arminian and Calvinist positions. John Wesley and Richard Watson were great men of God who took the Arminian position. John Calvin and Charles Spurgeon were great men of God who took the Calvinist position. It is not stupid or immoral or faithless to take either position.

“Also we ought to have good care of those that have been redeemed with the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ."

If logic were my authority, my belief in the other four points of Calvinism would compel me to believe in limited atonement.

I John 2:2 says not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

I came to Christ in a church that was Arminian, so that was naturally my early leaning. I went to a Bible college and seminary that were both middle of the road where neither hard core Calvinism nor Arminianism often surfaced in class, though on a continuum, some faculty would lean more toward one than the other.
