Neither is there such a thing as a “noble savage” or “happy heathen.” In the words of one former missionary, “I went to the mission field to keep a bad God from sending good men to hell. When I arrived, I discovered that they were monsters of iniquity.” The question is not whether men have had the opportunity to “accept Jesus.” The question is whether they have had an oppportunity to mistreat the missionary and reject his message – for apart from the special working of the Holy Spirit, that is what they will surely do.

John Alexander, a former president of Inter-Varsity, said in a message at Urbana ’67: “At the beginning of my missionary career I said that if predestination were true, I could not be a missionary. Now after 20 years of struggling with the hardness of the human heart, I say I could never be a missionary unless I believed in the doctrine of predestination.”

“And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.” – John 10:16
