2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Please be careful in calling the Words of Jesus Christ as not for Christians.

EDIT: I just wanted to add that I indeed loved the original post. I'm using it to help my Mennonite brothers see the errors of Armenianism (they are staunch Armenians). I have never been Armenian or Calvanist, since to me this is like saying "I follow Paul/Apollos/foobarbaz etc...". I want to show them the truth of Eternal Security. They struggle with it, since they've been taught differently their whole lives. Anything you can offer me to help witness to them on this subject is SO welcomed.

for Jesus' sake,
Stephen
