Acts 13:48 - Calvinist Proof-Texts Answered

The Calvinists have a strange doctrine that teaches that God, before any individual was ever created, decided who who be saved and who would be damned, Those who would be saved would be forced against their will to be regenerated. Once they are regenerated then they would be given a "gift of faith" in order to believe for salvation.

All of this goes against the Biblical order (John 1:12; 3:15-16, 36; 5:24; 6:40, 47; 12:36; 20:31; Acts 16:31; Rom. 10:8-10, 13; Eph. 1:13; 1 John 5:1, 13). However, the Calvinist have their misinterpreted proof-texts that they think supports their false teaching, Acts 13:48 being one of them.

Yet, Acts 13:48 would clearly go against the other passages cited above if we accept its rendering in the KJV and most other English translations. Yet, the Bible contains no CONTRADICTIONS, only EXPLANATIONS. Therefore, a better rendering of this passage is as follows: "“And while the heathens were hearing, they were rejoicing and glorifying the message about the Lord and as many as were believing were being set into eternal life.” (Acts 13:48; The Power New Testament).
