Charles Spurgeon

Devote follower of the murderer Calvin, who preached a false Grace message in the 1500's. Although Spurgeon never resorted to the awful tactics of his predecessor, he did promote the doctrine which has lead many into the fires of perdition by giving them a License to sin. Unfortunately he remains well-regarded as one of the greatest preachers of his time. His books and articles are still in massive circulation and he continues to deceive many into believing the lie of Calvinism. Following is just a brief example of his beliefs, ANY serious student of Scripture should be able to immediately discern how far off the mark he has strayed and identify him as another 'false teacher.'

Spurgeon Quotes:
And what is the heresy of Arminianism but the addition of something to the work of the Redeemer? Every heresy, if brought to the touchstone, will discover itself here. I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else”

“... Experience shows that the reprobate are sometimes affected in a way so similar to the elect that even in their own judgment there is no difference between them. Hence, it is not strange, that by the Apostle a taste of heavenly gifts, and by Christ himself a temporary faith is ascribed to them. Not that they truly perceive the power of spiritual grace and the sure light of faith; but the Lord, the better to convict them, and leave them without excuse, instills into their minds such a sense of goodness as can be felt without the Spirit of adoption .... there is a great resemblance and affinity between the elect of God and those who are impressed for a time with a fading faith .... Still it is correctly said, that the reprobate believe God to be propitious to them, inasmuch as they accept the gift of reconciliation, though confusedly and without due discernment; not that they are partakers of the same faith or regeneration with the children of God; but because, under a covering of hypocrisy they seem to have a principle of faith in common with them. Nor do I even deny that God illumines their mind to this extent .... there is nothing inconsistent in this with the fact of his enlightening some with a present sense of grace, which afterwards proves evanescent” (3.2.11, Institutes).

I believe there will be more in Heaven than in hell. If anyone asks me why I think so, I answer, because Christ, in everything, is to ‘have the pre-eminence,’ and I cannot conceive how He could have the pre-eminence if there are to be more in the dominions of Satan than in Paradise”

"Hence, even infants bringing their condemnation with them from their mother's womb, suffer not for another's, but for their own defect. For although they have not yet produced the fruits of their own unrighteousness, they have the seed implanted in them. Nay, their whole nature is, as it were, a seed-bed of sin, and therefore cannot but be odious and abominable to God. Hence, it follows, that it is properly deemed sinful in the sight of God; for there could be no condemnation without guilt" (2.1.8. Institutes). 

"That Christ should offer an atonement and satisfaction for the sins of all men, and that afterwards some of those very men should be punished for the sins of which Christ had already atoned, appears to me to be the most monstrous iniquity that could ever have been imputed to Saturn, to Janus, to the goddess of the Thugs, or to the most diabolical heathen deities. God forbid that we should ever think thus of Jehovah, the just and wise and good!"

These men love labels. Using Names out of the past they attribute certain 'doctrines' to the men who taught them as to promote or discredit their conclusions. Depending on 'which' axe they are grinding at the time, they will defend a man like John Calvin (who murdered some who disagreed with him) because he invented a system of doctrine that appeases their flesh and removes any sense of guilt they may have for failing to bring the Gospel to the 'non-elect'.  As you can see, Spurgeon is quick to accuse anyone of heresy who doesn't ascribe to 'Calvinism' as the Gospel. But yet he will allow the sexually immoral into the Kingdom because they are eternally secure in Christ as the 'elect' of God!

Notice the lengths they will go to 'prove' something that CANNOT be proved. Truly they strain at the Nat and shallow the camel! With the invention of a new term, 'evanescent' grace, they use their twisted logic to suggest that a person can be 'enlightened' and even believe that God has forgiven them and STILL not be 'elect', alas, he remains in his sin, lost and deceived, but under the influence of the finer things of Christ. What foolishness when the Scriptures are so very clear on this subject. If someone is 'enlightened' they are ALSO 'Partakers' of Christ! Here are two examples....

".....for those who were once enlightened and have tasted the heavenly gift and have become PARTAKERS of the Holy Spirit." Heb 6:4

"But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated you endured a great struggle with sufferings." Heb10:32

Hebrews Chapters 6, 10, 12 all issue dire warnings and examples of past people of God who Disobeyed and as a result, fell into eternal ruin. The arguments that they were never saved to begin with or victims of 'evanescent' grace are utter non-sense. But as the blind leads the blind and they both fall into the ditch, millions have been conned by these false teachers into believing some convoluted explanation why 'Partakers' doesn't mean what it means!

"For we have become PARTAKERS of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end." Heb3:14

Contradicting the Master Himself is nothing to these wolves. They say 'MANY' will inherit the Kingdom, Christ says "FEW!" They attempt to throw open the doors to the Kingdom while at the same time effectively closing them to millions of the non-elect. Make sense? About as much sense as sending infants to hell for their 'inbred' sin, but this they do, defending it in the Name of Divine Sovereignty.

Are the inspired Words of the Apostle John enough to learn the truth that Christ atoned for the sins of the entire world? NOT for these men! All who reject Christ must be non-elect, in their book, no other explanation. That keeps everything nice and neat and makes God fair and wise.  The 'monstrous iniquity' is this Calvinism itself! How many have perished believing in these lies?

"And He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins and not our only, but also for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD!" 1Jh2:2

"And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the WORLD." 1Jh4:14
