Calvinism starts from a faulty definition of what it means to be born dead in trespasses and sin. Calvinism defines this as an inability for any human being to receive any spiritual truth from God unless God does something to allow them to do so, yet Romans 1:16 says the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. How powerful is the Gospel if it cant even give a person who was born dead in sin the ability to receive spiritual life? Why does God have to do anything more if the preached Gospel is God's power unto salvation?
