The Bible Versus Calvinism
The Bible: The wicked shall be turned into hell. "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." (Ps. 9:17)
Calvinism: Only the alien wicked are to be turned into hell.
The Bible: The soul that sins will die. "Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die." (Ezek. 18:4)
Calvinism: Only the alien souls will die.
The Bible: Broken and fruitless branches will be burned. "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (John 15:6)
Calvinism: Broken and fruitless branches will live forever.
The Bible: The chaff will be burned with unquenchable fire. "Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." (Matt. 3:12)
Calvinism: Only alien chaff will be burned with unquenchable fire.
The Bible: All will be judged according to works. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works." (Rev. 20:12, 13)
Calvinism: Only aliens will be judged according to their works.
The Bible: All defilers are to be barred from heaven. "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." (Rev. 21:27)
Calvinism: Only alien defilers will be barred from heaven.
The Bible: All abomination workers are to be barred from heaven. (Rev. 21:27)
Calvinism: Only alien abomination workers will be barred from heaven.
The Bible: All liars to be excluded from heaven. "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Rev. 21:8)
Calvinism: Only the alien unbelievers, alien liars, alien murderers, alien whoremongers, alien abomination workers shall have their part in the lake of fire.
The Bible: One sin can lead a child of God back to bondage. "And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostle's hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him. Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee." (Acts 8:18-22)
Calvinism: One sin cannot make a child of God a bondservant of sin.
The Bible: One lie can make a child of God a liar. "Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God." (Acts 5:4)
Calvinism: One lie cannot make a child of God a liar.

How many times does a sow have to return to the mire to become filthy? (2 Peter 2:22)
The Voice Of Unconditional Preservation
This voice would have said to Adam, "You can't lose Eden." But see what happened—Genesis 3:23.
This voice would have said to Cain, "Yon can't be rejected." But look at Genesis 4:5.
This voice would have said to Israel, "You can't miss Canaan." But compare Hebrews 4:6.
This voice would have said to Lot, "You can't be consumed." But see Genesis 19:17.
This voice would have said to the righteous, "You can't turn from your righteousness." But contrast Ezekiel 33:13.
This voice would have said to the rebellious angels, "You can't forfeit your principality." But see Jude 6.
This voice would have said to washed creatures, "You can't soil your white robes, though you return to the mire." See 2 Peter 2:22.
This voice would have said to Judaizers, "You can't be severed from Christ nor fall away from grace, even though you go back to the law." But see what Paul said in Galatians 5:4.
This voice would have said to Judas, "You can't fall by transgression, though you sell your Lord." But compare Acts 1:25.
