Ha,
No, it's not a straw man. If we can't agree on the continuity of scripture. We will never agree. Salvation is by grace alone.

Now please just answer the question by elucidating the text that you quoted to start this conversation with Mike. Show me how that text teaches unconditional election. Or are you finding this too difficult?

Ha writes,
You brought up 2 Peter 1.10. Let's just stick with that for the time being before we jump down the next rabbit hole!
So your answer to my question is? Please in your own words without a cryptic scripture reference from which we're supposed to guess your answer.
RK responds,
That's why I asked at the beginning if you have regard for the authority of scripture.
Your response suggests that there is a disjoint between what the Holy Spirit said by Peter and what he said by Paul. Did he not say that scripture interprets scripture. If not then there is contradiction. Are you suggesting that Peter contradicts Paul??

RK responds,
Do you have any regard for the authority of Scripture? If you do, let's ask Paul what he thinks of OUR input.....

Mike, how do you Arminians make your calling election sure when you disdain the doctrine of election:
2 Peter 1:10 KJV
[10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Psalm 75 Thanksgiving for God's Righteous Judgment.
We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks! For your wondrous works proclaim your name is near.
When I chose the proper time, I will judge uprightly. The earth and all it's inhabitants are dissolved; I set up it's pillars firmly.
I said to the boastful, 'Do not deal boastfully' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horn. Do not lift up your horn on high; do not speak with a stiff neck.'
For exultation comes neither from the East nor from the West nor from the South. But God is the Judge. He puts down one, and exalts another.
For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; It is fully mixed and he pours it out. Surely it's dregs shall all the wicked of the earth drain and drink down.
But I will declare forever I will sing praises to the God of Jacob "All the horns of the righteous shall be exalted".

While I wouldnt watch this film, I do feel you have been needlessly abused on this thread. Take it with a grain of salt. A number of your detractors here cant keep a Church home for more than a short time, and these are the people that falsely feel qualified to tell others where to worship.

No of course I don't have learning difficulties as I am a college graduate with an Associate of Arts Degree. The Bible in Romans 10:9...

People have tried, and failed everytime, to point out the difference between a mental assent to Christianity (you) and a genuine heart felt repentance and faith, a desiring after The Lord, holiness, communion, following The Lord no matter what the cost etc. IOW being born again. You're oblivious to all of these things and seem content because you can utter glibly that you believe in Jesus Christ, when you don't even know him.

You're on the high road to hell.

If as you say you are born again, what did it feel like? Explain to everyone here how you changed in yourself. What changes did others notice? What new desires did you have? How did your attitude to the Bible change? How have you sought to serve The Lord since?

John Yurich USA wrote:
My Born Again Non Denominational brother accepts that I am Born Again regardless if I still attend the RCC because he is not insane and because he knows that because I did what it states in Romans 10:9 that I am saved because I made a Public Profession of Faith in Jesus as my Savior and I trust in Him alone for salvation.

The word pagan means one who doesn't worship Jesus as God. And since I have always worshipped Jesus as God I am not a pagan. And neither is my Non Denominational brother a pagan. And neither are my Pentecostal Nephew and Niece Iin-Law from Tulare, California pagans. I suppose you believe that Luther was a pagan and that Lutherans are pagans?

Why don't you go jump in the lake with your hatred of individuals like me and my Non Denominational brother and my Pentecostal Nephew and Niece In-Law who are indeed Born Again and do worship Jesusd as God. My Non Denominational brother and my Pentecostal Nephew and Niece In-Law would not appreciate you falsely stating that they are not saved.

John Yurich USA wrote:
RC's are not pagan because they don't fit the definition of the word pagan which is one who doesn't worship Jesus as God. The Creed states "WE BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD", which means that the Catholic Church worships Jesus as God and every Catholic worships Jesus as God. My Born Again Non Denominational brother doesn't believe that I am a pagan but am Born Again because I embraced Jesus as Savior during an Altar Call at his Non Denominational Church and because I trust in Jesus alone for salvation. And my Pentecostal Nephew and Niece In-Law who reside in Tulare, California accept that I am Born Again because I embraced Jesus as Savior and trust in Jesus alone for salvation. My Nephew and Niece In-Law and their church(First Church of God of Tulare, California) are all better Christians then some of you on here because they accept that there are Born Again individuals in any church that worships Jesus as God.

I am not a pagan. A pagan doesn't worship Jesus as God. And I worship Jesus as God. And Reagan worshipped Jesus as God. Therefore Reagan was not a pagan. Reagan was wrong to dable in astrology but that doesn't mean that he was a pagan. As stated in the second sentence above a pagan doesn't worship Jesus as God.
Rispolte, Why are you criticising Reagan when Reagan was one of the greatest presidents ever for helping to get rid of Communism in Russia?

John Yurich USA wrote:
Reagan was not a pagan as he stated he was Born Again because he had embraced Jesus as his Savior and trusted in Him alone for salvation.

Imagine that. An eschatology that proudly wears a name that means what it is not. Kind of like Christians referring to themselves as the Alost.
