Brother, how would we as Calvinists respond to this same statement made in the context of an anti-Calvinist response to our soteriological views? Would we let them "off the hook," as it were, versus pressing them to examine their unexamined assumptions? I think this is perhaps related to Rev. Winzer's questions of your position.
Simple. I would respond with the clarity of Scripture on the issue. On the doctrines of grace, unlike the spatial center on the solar system or universe, Scripture could not be more clear.
