What does the Bible say about Calvinism and evangelism?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible commands evangelism regardless of predestination (Matthew 28:19-20).

The assertion that Calvinism destroys the necessity of evangelism is incorrectly founded. Scripture clearly commands believers to preach the Gospel to all nations, as seen in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). The Apostle Paul, a strong proponent of predestination, consistently proclaimed the Gospel to everyone he encountered, emphasizing that evangelism is the means by which the elect are saved. Furthermore, the reality of God’s election does not negate our responsibility to share the Gospel; rather, it underlines the urgency with which we must spread the message of Christ, for we do not know who the elect are merely by appearance. Thus, evangelism remains a vital duty for every Christian.
