HAha, that's an interesting comment. And I think they have received similar opinions.
But I'm sure the publishers Matthias Media would beg to differ. http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/our_theology.php
They believe, and I like to continue to think that they are "... a reformed, evangelical publishing house."
I suppose when viewing a tract like this, some might consider giving an opportunity for Man to respond would totally then make it 'Arminian'? I'm curious what you have to say about that. :)
Some say that you don't even have to give that person the opportunity to respond.
Well, some say that the response part is 'man-made', I just think it just makes it easier to know who we can follow up. :P
Yes it's true, man has no way of 'making people believe', just by thinking a box, or saying a prayer... (which by the way, ya, can be a very false way of counting 'success' in evangelism). I'm still learning much about the Reformed faith. But what I gather and believe is that, even that action in responding, comes from God himself, and not something Man can do. i.e. we can't save ourselves. Not even ticking a box, or saying a 'prayer'!
Oh, not really, I think that comment is a good reminder of how the Gospel is received and responded to. It's like how Paul Washer would warn people that saying the 'sinner's prayer', doesn't save you.

Good tract.
Mark 10:18 (ESV) And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
I think it's really challenging to try to put the Gospel into a few pages. But I think this one does it quite well. Have you read it before?
