Predestination

What's the difference between an Arminian who doesn't believe and act on behalf of world evangelism and a person who believes in predestination?

Not much.

For predestination believes that some people are predestined to hell.

And all over the world there are people who have never heard the gospel. And how can they believe if they haven't heard? And how can they be saved if they don't believe?

So if you believe that God wants all men to be saved then YOU must help provide them the opportunity. You can sit around in North America all day and debate the predestination and sovreignty character of God, but faith without works is dead.

So do you truly believe if you aren't actively engaged in bringing hope to the nations?

blue like jazz has a quote in it that Tim Miller uses on his blog...

"You don't believe what you say you believe, you believe what you do."

Yes I have always thought that as well, Chris. Good point!

The angle I am taking in my blog really is to a mostly arminian audience. So I am mostly focused on the absurdity of arguing for unlimited atonement and yet not supporting World Evangelism.
