WHY did YOU become a Christian?

Why did YOU....become a Christian?
First off lets get those mean old Calvinists out of the way....
"I became a Christian because of the Mercy of God.
I KNOW that if I was left on my own, I would have CHOSEN to remain in rebellion towards God, and went to Hell forever, in my own way. I can see any lost sinner, and say, "There but for the grace of God, go I", and it is NOT sentiment, it is THE TRUTH!!
I am so incredibly thankful for God SHOWING ME MERCY, and I KNOW that according to Romans 8 it was NOT because of anything I would ever do in life, but ONLY because of GOD'S MERCY, that HE SAVED ME!! PRAISE GOD FOR HIS MERCY TOWARDS A SINNER LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
There, NOW, lets ask the Arminian........
First off, Mr.Arminian, you need to tilt that nose up.
I mean every so slightly, because after all you are a Christian.
Because lets be honest, your salvation hinged upon YOUR DECISION. I mean YOU....are the one who chose Jesus, right?
Well WHY, Mr. Arminian DID YOU CHOOSE JESUS?
"Well, I saw my need for Christ"
WHY....did you see your need for Christ and your NEIGHBOR DID NOT???
"Well, I decided that I should repent and be a better person."
WHY.....did YOU decide that you should be a better person, and your NEIGHBOR DID NOT?
"well, I understood the terrors of Hell, and......
WHY....did YOU understand the terrors of Hell, and YOUR NEIGHBOR DID NOT?
Mr.Arminian, we can go on all day like this, and the ANSWER comes down to TWO CHOICES.
1. You are a BETTER PERSON than other people.
2. You are SMARTER than other people.
So, which is it?
I mean YOU believe you have this free will, and the ability, and after all YOU....(the wonderful great YOU) chose Jesus, right?
In the Arminians mind, their eternal fate hinged upon their OWN decision.
The TRUTH is, for the Christian, their eternal fate hinged upon the MERCY OF GOD.
