11. Totally false to assert that todays Evangelical church is dominated by Calvinist

or those that believe in the doctrines of grace. Jerry Falwell was a well known anti-Calvinist and he like most of today's evangelical church believed in the free will of man over the sovereignty of God. The believe of limited or particular atonement does not contradict John 3:16 read on down to John to 3:18.

In John 17 right before Jesus went to the cross he said this. John 17 verse 9 I pray for them. I pray not for the world,but for them which God has given me; for they are thine.

Those of us who believe he doctrines of grace believe God in all power and all knowing God and therefore logically conclude that God does not fail to save anyone he intends to due to man's so called free will. We don't believe Jesus failed to save anyone he intended to save. We believe he atoned for all of the sins of his elect.
