Sovereignty of god Quote by Micah Coate
““He writes that synergism gives the “fallen creature . . . ability to control God’s free and sovereign work of salvation.” Then he audaciously associates all Christians who are not Calvinists with belief in this doctrine. White believes that the act of receiving (as in receiving God’s grace) is a type of “work” that takes away from the sovereignty of God. He therefore concludes that a man’s free will to receive the gospel somehow “controls God’s work of salvation.””
