Enabling grace is needed for faith, but not “regenerating grace.” There are no verses in the Bible one must be regenerated (saved, born-again, new birth) before one can believe the gospel.

“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2.4). If God desires all to be saved, but deliberately withholds it from everyone except the elect, then His love is not for all mankind, but that is contrary to all Scripture. What He does for the elect, He would do for all if calvinism is true. But if osas arminian is true, not saving some is because many do not receive His life.

Calvinists worship an unloving god, because Sproul writes, “it would have been more loving of God not to have allowed them to be born.” This contradicts the fact God’s love is infinite and perfect. Paul never had the problem of saying God was “not all that loving.” He said unequivocally, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ!”

Calvinism is founded on the premise that God does not love everyone, is not merciful to all, does not want all to be saved, but in fact is pleased to damn billions whom, by sovereign regeneration, He could have saved if He so desired. That is not God of the Bible, who “is love” (1 John 4.8).

Spurgeon contradicted himself. He believed in limited atonement yet he urged everyone to come to Christ. He was urging men to come to Christ whom according to calvinism, Jesus did not die for. He admits "God's wish that all men should be saved," which shows he was caught in a web of contradiction woven by calvinism. How could God, whose sovereignty enables Him to do anything He desires (the cornerstone of calvinism), fail to save those He "wishes" to be saved? "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim. 2.4).
