"And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed." This interpretation accords well with the next phrase "that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain." See also Jn. Arminians point out that the statement is made to the disciples with reference to their apostleship, not to their salvation.Some Calvinists (and Augustine) have argued that this a proof text for unconditional election, emphasizing the irrelevance of human choice."You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain." Finally, with regard to limited atonement and double predestination, these positions depend on the earlier conclusion (unconditional election), and therefore beg the question. 40 that "Everyone who beholds the Son and believes in him" be saved. To attribute the cause exclusively to the Father regardless of the response of the person, flies in the face of the stated will of the Father in vs. They further hold that to assign the cause exclusively to the Father ignores vss. However, they argue that the father draws all men to Christ (Jn. The Arminian agrees that these passages teach total depravity.Therefore, those whom the Father has not drawn are naturally destined for judgement, and are therefore those for whom Christ did not die. Limited atonement and double predestination are usually inferred from the face that it is impossible to come to him without election.Unconditional in this case, because the cause is the father, not the individual. "it has been granted him from the Father" or "the Father draws him" meaning unconditional election.The Calvinist holds that these passages teach total depravity, unconditional election, and also imply limited atonement and double predestination."No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day." 45, those who "have heard and learned from the father" are the ones who "come to me." In other words, when God foresees that some will believe, he gives them to Christ. Arminians reply that "those given to me" in 37 are the same as those who "believe in him" in vs.The individual cannot refuse God's choice, therefore all those given to Christ will respond. Calvinists argue that this passages teaches irresistible grace."All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away."
