Election, Predestination, and the Plan of God – AZ 2018
Gene Cunningham presented “Election, Predestination, and the Plan of God: The Biblical Case Against Calvinism, Lordship Salvation, and Replacement Theology” at the annual conference in Prescott, Arizona, September 7th through 9th. Gene’s teaching refutes Calvinism (Romans 9), Lordship Salvation (Romans 10), and Replacement Theology (Romans 11).
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined, to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”
Romans 8:28–30

Rom 12:1-2 The kind of worship God likes is when we let ourselves be transformed by His Word.
1. The power of God: the mercies of God, and the grace of God. God’s mercy spares us from what we do deserve, and grace gives us the things we don’t deserve. The power of God comes through the truth of His Word.
2. The people of God: a family under the heavenly Father, that comes into being through the Holy Spirit in new birth. Every believer is a new creature. God is still in the process of transforming us. Is there anything we need to change? The change has already begun, but it’s not over. You have access to all the riches and power of your heavenly Father, and you can draw on it at any time to meet any problem you have.
3. The purpose/plan of God: to transform us, to change us to be more like His Son. Transformation means sanctification; to set apart to God for an honorable purpose
We are all on a journey, and none of us are finished yet.
