According to the traditional Calvinism to be "called" is more than a vocational desire like been called to go to Africa. Being called from a Calvinistic point of view is something you can't say no. Gods call is effective just like when Jesus called Lazarous "Lazarous come forth" The death could not say no to his called and actually came forth. I learned this from Piper. Not even a called like a physical drive like to breath. We feel a great desire to breath but we can decide not to beath and then die. Calvinistic God's call is more like a nail growth. We can't choose to stop the growing of our mails. They will just keep on growing we can't help it. So when God calls you will follow. Does it sound like a being a puppet? This is a question I have asked myself. This is one reason I am not clear on Traditional Calvinism.Richard Romerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395834226243676849noreply@blogger.com
