Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

Heresy! Brothers cannot fall from the living God. If they fall then they were never really brothers.

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

Heresy! Only the elect escape the defilements of the world and they do so irreversibly.

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.

Heresy! No one who was ever genuinely cleansed from his former sins can ever fall. There is nothing for such nearsighted people to forget. It must have never happened. Thus, there is nothing that could be forgotten.

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

Heresy! No one who is bought by the Master can ever experience destruction.

Etc.

Is this the treatment of Scripture that led you to first accept the doctrines of TULIP? Is this the way someone opened up the Bible to you to explain how God fore-ordains whatsoever comes to pass?

And is this the sort of thing worth fratricidal divisions with brethren who believe in “the five points of calvinism” and in absolute predestination just much as you do?
