The gist of all of this is that we can’t have our cake and eat it too.  There are no free lunches.  If God truly is as the Scriptures say He is--absolutely sovereign, omniscient, and omnipotent, and in control of all things--then the Reformed view is true.  If God is not any of those things in their absolute sense, then a sub-Christian (or even an anti-Christian) form of theism is true.  And I would submit that to deny the absolute sovereignty, omniscience, and omnipotence of God is to deny, as A.W. Pink says, the God-hood of God.  It is, in a word, to embrace a form of Atheism.  Those who reject the absolute sovereignty of God may use "God" terminology, but it's all empty rhetoric--the emperor has no clothes.  You can check out the Open Theism view for yourself at http://www.opentheism.org.  Though I find their conclusions appalling, I do applaud them for their consistency…they realize that it is impossible to be a consistently Biblical Arminian, and that the only way to maintain their non-Reformed foundations is to do away with The Foundation. They have erected a modern golden calf that will no doubt have many an Evangelical exulting its virtues, because many Evangelicals already unwittingly embrace its premises.  They use all the right words, but then rob them of their true meaning and power, and in the process rob God of all of His glory. 

Recently I read an article entitled Double Or Nothing: Martin Luther's Doctrine of Predestination Martin Luther, by Brian Mattson.  He provides a quote from Luther that really hits on all I’ve said (he quotes from Luther’s most important work, The Bondage of the Will, which Luther wrote in response to Roman Catholic scholar Erasmus):

“On your view [Erasmus], God will elect nobody, and no place for election will be left; all that is left is freedom of will to heed or defy the long-suffering and wrath of God. But if God is thus robbed of His power and wisdom in election, what will He be but just that idol, [called] Chance, under whose sway all things happen at random? Eventually, we shall come to this: that men may be saved and damned without God's knowledge! For He will not have marked out by sure election those that should be saved and those that should be damned; He will merely have set before all men His general long-suffering, which forbears and hardens, together with His chastening and punishing mercy, and left it to them to choose whether they would be saved or damned, while He Himself, perchance, goes off, as Homer says, to an Ethiopian banquet.”   

Mattson provides this commentary on what Luther stated above, saying, “This passage remarkably demonstrates Luther's purpose in The Bondage of the Will. Here he states that the entire problem with the theology of Erasmus (all non-Reformed theology) is that it makes its case for free will by robbing God of His sovereignty. The entire problem with Erasmus is that on his terms God would not mark out, predestine, and know those among the elect and reprobate… The simple question is then how God elects any in an informed manner? How does God know He has elected all He wants to elect? This is to say, that unless God marks out and knows both the elect and reprobate, His sovereignty as well as omniscience suffers. Thus, Luther chastises Erasmus for promoting a relinquishing of God's sovereignty.”  

Thus, it seems clear to me that the only one’s hiding their view is those who deny the infinite perfections of God’s Being as it relates to His absolute sovereignty, omniscience, and omnipotence on the one hand, yet continue to say that God is all of those things on the other.  The Reformed do no such thing.  They state clearly that God is perfect, He is absolutely sovereign, and all of His plans and purposes will, with absolute certainty, come to pass.  Every single person that He has determined to save will be saved.  He will accomplish all of His holy will.  This is all that the Reformed (the Bible) are saying.  Reformed Pastor Douglas Wilson puts it this way, “The Reformed step up into the microphone and speak plainly into it.  God ordains and governs everything, including the free choices creatures…He knows everything that will come to pass because He knows exactly what He has determined to do.”
