Calvary Chapel Of Crook County - Main

Romans 8, verses 28-30, deals with a topic that has been divisive for centuries: are we predestined to be believers in Christ or does it depend on us? On the one hand, Calvinism says it’s all up to God. We are predestined to believe and when called we do. Arminianism says it’s up to the individual to make their own decision about salvation. Of course, the controversy is way deeper than this but these two viewpoints encompass two pillars of the faith: God’s sovereign calling vs. man’s responsibility. It is one of the “secret things” of God and not really comprehensible.
