I’ve always been uneasy about Calvinism. It just never sat right with me. Watching Leighton Flowers gave me some clarity.

@Dragonfist900 3 years ago (edited)

For 2 years I felt like I was slowly being indoctrinated into hypercalvinism. I'm glad that now I'm slowly leaving calvinism behind.

@Joe-y3r1y 2 years ago

I listened to the audio Bible. It takes about 80 hours. Listen to it start to finish. It's an amazing journey. If you do this and then think God is a Calvinist you are out of your mind.

@danb151 3 years ago

I left Calvinism last year after about 15 years of being a Calvinist. Just starting your video, but looking forward to it. I wonder what our journeys will have in common.

Great Job! I'm an ex-RB - I came out of this over 10 years ago! It was very difficult to leave, took 2 years to finally resign and move on.

@Davina249 2 years ago

Thank you so much for this video. I was saved out of the prosperity gospel, ended up a cage stage calvinist and then looked at all scriptire through the calvanist lenses. The other night, I randomly burst out in tears out of NO WHERE and said to my husband, "I feel like i might be dishonoring God by saying he only chooses some" he encouraged me to pray and ask the holy spirit to lead me , few days later i came across (wasnt searching for it) great light studios and now your channel.

Thank you.

Welcome to the other side!
I was a Calvinist for 32 yrs. I left officially 1 yr ago. It took me 3 yrs to study,think and pray to leave it.

@LindieFreed 3 years ago

Thank you for your humble testimony and desire for others to understand Truth. He’s using you to share His word. So encouraging!

@richbaker7187 2 years ago

I went headlong into studying the Calvinistic doctrines and found that the doctrine of "predestination" was never about being predestined to "salvation" but those IN CHRIST are predestined to "adoption" or "glorification". Big different. Calvinists conflate these texts to their detriment, because they change the heart of God by doing this.

This is so helpful. For the past 4 years, my husband and I have been attending a Calvinist church (though they don’t blatantly claim so, they just strongly preach it). I have been walking through a season of confusion, and anxiety since. I was willing to be wrong, but the more I prayed for clarity and dug into Scripture, the more I felt convinced that in fact, they are wrong. I feel like I am just getting my head above water again and can breathe.

@evasochocki5209 3 years ago

I have looked at scripture with the lenses on and it still didn't make sense to me. Thank you so much for finally making the truth so clear and understandable

@paulmann9154 3 years ago

Thank you for this video. I came from a position of ignorance before diving into this subject some years ago, so I have never been a calvinist. I so admire people like yourself, who have had to turn from that which they held dear, in order to accept the truth. That takes guts and no small amount of humility, not to mention open ears to hear.
Much respect.

@QuickLazer 3 years ago

I was in it for 7 1/2 years ... Glad to see you realized the issues ... God bless 🙏

@maxamos7 3 years ago

I try to listen to these types of videos while I work. I look forward to diving into these and appreciate the work you've put in. Thank you!

@bobbyadkins6983 3 years ago (edited)

Praise God for your deliverance! Jesus died for all!

@christopherrogers6247 3 years ago

I appreciate your gracious tone and well thought out presentation

@ericedwards5034 3 years ago

I dropped the ESV when I realized it was the Elect Sovereign Version. Once I became aware of the doctrines of Calvinism I started to see it in certain translations and especially in study Bible notes.

@roguesinger247 3 years ago

I'm really excited about this whole series!

@zamrock2508 3 years ago

I've watched hundreds of videos on Calvinism from the multiple YouTubers speaking out against it. This is one of the best, straightforward videos I've seen. You don't waste time, and you aren't rude toward Calvinists. Great video. Subscribing because of it.
