For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have
compassion.” So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has
mercy.– Romans 9:15-16 (the whole chapter)
God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the
passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?– Rom 11:2
In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s gracious
choice. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. What then?
What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were
hardened;– Romans 11:5-7
but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our
glory;– 1 Cor 2:7
He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His
will,…also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all
things after the counsel of His will,– Ephesians 1:5,11
knowing, brethren beloved by God, His choice of you;– 1 Thes 1:4
But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you
from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.– 2 Thes 2:13
Paul, a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of God and the
knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,– Titus 1:1
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and
be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.– 1 Peter 1:2
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of
the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.– Rev 13:8

How Calvinism came to America
The Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to practice religious freedom. In the 1500s England broke

Everyone in England had to belong to the church. There was a group of people called Separatists that
