Challenges to Irresistible Grace
God's Sovereignty and Man's SalvationSteve Gregg
In this lecture, Steve Gregg questions the Calvinist belief in Irresistible Grace and presents various challenges related to the doctrine. He criticizes the idea that God predestines only a select few to be saved and argues that the Bible does not support the notion of an effectual and sovereign call that cannot be resisted. Gregg also emphasizes the importance of preaching and offering everyone the opportunity to repent and choose to follow God. He concludes by stating that salvation is a gift from God and not something that can be earned through works.
