Irresistible Grace — Mike rejects it as the mirror image of Total Depravity

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 8) Fixed and Reuploaded 00:11:12 – 00:13:00

Fourth point of TULIP addressed.

Mike argues Irresistible Grace is the flip side of Total Depravity. Total Depravity says the unsaved will always say no; Irresistible Grace says once regenerated, you will always say yes and cannot refuse. Together they eliminate any meaningful decision point: the unsaved have no real choice to accept, and the saved have no real choice to reject. The transition between the two states is entirely God's act of regenerating you before faith. Mike rejects this as contrary to Scripture's plain teaching that people make real choices with real consequences and could have chosen differently.
