Matthew Secker here from Verity Baptist Church Manila providing another video on the topic of
Calvinism and irresistible grace. Now we just did an earlier video that absolutely destroyed
irresistible grace because the Bible says he can resist the Holy Ghost in Acts 7 51 and so what
some Calvinists do that it may be a little bit sharper than other Calvinists is they say well
you know it's not irresistible grace it's effectual grace and so they'll basically be using wise words
and they'll just have this kind of arrogant pompous attitude where they say well you know you guys
don't believe God's grace is effectual because you think God could die for someone and want someone
to go to heaven and then they end up going to hell whereas we believe that God's grace is so
powerful that everyone who he died for went to heaven and that's a real sly way of basically
saying I don't believe Jesus died for everyone and they're right I do believe that you know what
God's Word you know Jesus died for everyone and some people are gonna believe in some don't some
will go to hell that Jesus died for but honestly their argument of effectual grace is also
destroyed with the Word of God notice what it says in Romans 9 verse 6 not as though the Word
of God hath taken none effect for they are not all Israel which are of Israel and so Paul the
Apostle is saying here is that the Word of God has taken effect it's not that it hasn't taken
effect it has taken effect it is effectual the Word of God is effectual according to Romans 9
verse 6 what does he mean by for they are not all Israel which are of Israel well notice what it
says in verse 7 neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children but in Isaac
shall thy seed be called and so what he's saying is it's not just the children physically of Abraham
now we don't have time in this video to go into it but you see that the promise was always by faith
says in Isaac shall I see be called and so Abraham had two sons and the promise by faith gets passed
down from Isaac that's what we see we have Isaac we have Ishmael and so when it comes to the Word
of God taking effect according to the Bible it is effectual even though some get saved and some
don't get saved for they're not all Israel which are of Israel and so some people that are
physically the children of Abraham by being descendants are believers but some and most are
not but just because of the fact that some believe in some don't according to the Bible that's
effectual so it's effectual if some believe in some don't why because that's the promise of God
it's not that the Word of God have taken none effect why because God's promise throughout is
that some people are gonna believe and some aren't gonna believe so according to the Bible
effectual does not mean that every single person that Jesus died for every single person that
hears the Word of God gets saved no actually being effectual having an effect means that some will
believe and some don't why because in God's Word the promise is that some will believe and some
won't and so if every single person believed that wouldn't make sense because the Bible says narrow
is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it and so most people reject the
message of salvation and so to actually be effectual according to the Bible the Word of
God is effectual if some believe and some reject so it's interesting the countless don't like their
act 751 that destroys them they don't like that verse they have to go away from calling it
irresistible grace now then sometimes we'll change it to effectual grace well there's a word there's
a verse in the Bible that destroys you there as well because according Bible effectual does not
mean that every single person ends up getting saved no effectual means that some are going to
accept and some are going to reject thank you and God bless
