Don’t be a thug for Christ, like John Calvin, who invented the doctrine that justified his own behavior — “once saved always saved” (OSAS) — the false gospel destroying America.
[Calvin is often considered the father of “once saved always saved,” but Martin Luther’s “only believe” doctrine is also a form of OSAS from which Luther justified his own sinning too: Martin Luther: Sin Boldly — “No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day”]

From: John Calvin: Capital Punishment for “Heretics” (Anabaptists, Etc.)
Whoever shall now contend that it is unjust to put heretics and blasphemers to death will knowingly and willingly incur their very guilt. This is not laid down on human authority; it is God who speaks and prescribes a perpetual rule for his Church. . . . Many people have accused me of such ferocious cruelty that I would like to kill again the man that I have destroyed. Not only am I indifferent to their comments, but I rejoice in the fact that they spit in my face.
