The following was, and quite timely to this thread, I think, in our bulletin today:
Quote
To say I don’t believe in Election is easy and dishonest. If any doctrine is in the Bible, it is to be believed, held and proclaimed regardless of results. Any meeting that any Bible teaching will kill has no right to go on, it ought to be killed. Any church that any Bible teaching will split ought to be split wide open. There are times when certain doctrines must be preached regardless of consequences. The Bible doctrine of election is the object of more hatred and the occasion of the ugliest spirit of resentment and of more sharp division than any other Scriptural doctrine. — A. D. Muse

There is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. - C.H. Spurgeon
