No, Piper is exhorting pastors to preach the whole counsel of God. He said ââŚof course, if youâre elect you wonâtâ fall away, but the warnings of apostasy in the NT are very real warnings. They are a means of grace for the elect to keep them on the Narrow Way. If a person âfallâs awayâ and apostatizes them that person was never really in possession of that which they claimed to have. âThey went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.â

Do you want to know how to fix preaching that falls short? Join Joel Beeke and Brian Borgman on April 23-24 for Experiential Preaching: A Heart Compelled by God.

Translation: when you zoom out from the out of context prooftexts, calvinism doesn't fit with the Bible.

And the tone of the New Testament warning against apostasy does not once say, oh, actually, if youâre elect, you cannot apostatize. No. The warnings and their consequences are promised to the very electâŚ! Itâs nonsense if it isnât actually applicable to the electâŚ!

How is this not entirely consistent with "Perseverance of The Saints"?

That entire vibe is not right. He takes a New Testament quote, and makes it into something else through his delivery. I do not see the âtone of the New Testamentâ at all in his presentation.

He's getting there. Slowly but surely. Now he has to learn that elect means those who believe in Christ.

He clearly says that professing believers can fall away, which is precisely what the Bible teaches and warns. Piper simply warns against excluding that from the preaching and only preaching about the elect and eternal security.

Sorry, just can't listen to Piper talk. đ

It is worth noting TOO how he confesses one CANNOT KNOW THEY ARE ELECT! On Calvinism salvation is a GUESS They cannot KNOW they have ETERNAL LIFE The implications of Calvinism get WORSE the DEEPER you go

Whatâs not Calvinistic about this?
