From the Back Cover

This book is the fruit of a long struggle to comprehend the mechanics of salvation. Questions concerning the nature of the death of Christ drove the author to search deeper into the Scriptures. His conclusions led him to embrace the Calvinistic soteriology he had formerly and ignorantly regarded as erroneous. Realizing the controversial nature of these doctrines, the author determined to intensify his investigation of them either to renounce or to more ably defend them. This work is the result of that study.

History has documented the struggle of two Christian philosophies. One is God-centered, fixing itself upon the glorious majesty of His infinite attributes in the unfolding of His eternal purpose (Romans 11:33-36). The other is man-centered, degrading God's sovereign majesty to the limited service of attempting to rescue as many "poor sinners" as can be persuaded to abandon the suicidal pursuit of their own destruction. Sadly, modern Christianity is plagued with evangelical humanism with its subsequent ignorance of the Biblical revelation of God's person and purpose. It is the author's longing that God-centered Christianity be restored to His people. Happily, there is evidence of the revival of the great doctrines presented in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good and pleasurable read., February 3, 2000

This review is from: Predestined for Heaven? Yes! (Paperback)

Jeff Alexander's book, Predestined for Heaven, Yes!, outlines the real life study of one who has come from a fundamentalist Arminian perspective to a clear and convincing sovereign grace position. The book's title is a play on the title of John R. Rice's book, Predestined for Hell? No!, which purports to be the definitive polemic against the five points of Calvinism. Jeff's book is the culmination of years of study on the truthfulness of the system classically known Calvinism, or definitively known as the Canons of Dort. He treats the subject fairly, cogently, biblically, logically, and simply. After reading this treatise, any objective soul can understand the issues involved, what is at stake, and the need to embrace this theological position. It is written on a level that any lay person can understand, but also challenges the thinking of seasoned Bible students. It is a good and pleasurable read, and contributes greatly to the overall debate on the doctrine of salvation. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Predestined for Heaven? Yes! (Paperback)

This is a phenominal work filled with God's "REAL and EXEGETICAL" truth! A must read for any God fearing and truth seeking follower of Jesus Christ! This is what the enemy DOES NOT want you to know, among many other things. Any viewpoint other than that expressed in this book should be viewed as a dangerous "cancer"! Beware of false doctrine (i.e. The 5 points of Arminianism). Learn what it is and how it has been deemed a heresy as far back as the 4th and 5th century (Augustine and Pelagius). It became known as Arminianism in the 17th century, by the followers of one Jacobus Arminius. The 5 points of Calvinism were used to refute it by The Synod of Dort in 1618. Arminianism is and has rooted itself in many of todays churches and is the heart of their doctrine (very disturbing!). It is one of many heresies that are currently misleading unsuspecting Christians! Those that do not know history are destined to repeat it! Please be aware of this. Many pastors and priests are not even aware of this (sickening truth!)! Educate yourself and DO NOT be misled. ***See and read for yourself***. Also, I highly recommend the books, "Chosen By God" by R.C. Sproul and "The Five Points of Calvinism... Defined, Defended, and Documented" (2nd Edition) by Steele, Thomas & Quinn. God Bless and Soli Deo Gloria!
