From the ‘Declaration of Faith and Practice’ of the New Park Street Chapel (Reformed Baptist church)
We believe, that the work of regeneration, conversion, sanctification and faith, is not an act of man’s free will and power, but of the might, efficacious and irresistible grace of God.
When we are brought to see our own utter ruin and ill desert, and the justice of the divine verdict against sin, we no longer cavil at the truth that the Lord is not bound to save us; we do not murmur if He chooses to save others, as though He were doing us an injury, but feel that if He deigns to look upon us, it will be His own free act of undeserved goodness, for which we shall ever bless His name. How shall those who are the subjects of divine election sufficiently adore the grace of God? They have no room for boasting, for sovereignty most effectually excludes it.
I know nothing, nothing again, that is more humbling for us than this doctrine of election. I have sometimes fallen prostrate before it, when endeavouring to understand it. "God hath from the beginning chosen you unto salvation," (2 Thessalonians 2:13) I was staggered with the mighty thought; and down came my soul, prostrate and broken, saying, 'Lord, I am nothing, I am less than nothing. Why me? Why me?"

Salvation is the free gift of God, by Jesus Christ, and the work of it is supernatural. It is done by the Lord himself, and he has power to do it, however weak, nay, however dead in sin, the sinner may be. As a living child of God, I can say to-night, “On a life I did not live,
On a death I did not die,
I stake my whole eternity.”

J. Vernon McGee, Thru the Bible with J. Vernon McGee, Vol. 4, p. 405 on John 6:36-37.
Someone came to Spurgeon one time and said, ‘Mr. Spurgeon, if I believed as you do, I would not preach like you do. You say you believe that there are the elect, and yet you preach as if everybody can be saved.’ Spurgeon’s answer was, ‘They can all be saved. If God had put a yellow streak up and down the backs of the elect, I’d go up and down the streets lifting up shirt tails to find out who had the yellow streak up and down his back. Then I’d give that person the gospel. But God didn’t do that. He told me to preach the gospel to every creature and that whosoever will may come.’ That is our marching order, and as far as I am concerned, until God gives me the roll call of the elect, I am going to preach the ‘whosoever will’ gospel.

1 Thessalonians 1:4 “Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.”
Many persons want to know their election before they look to Christ, but they cannot learn it thus, it is only to be discovered by “looking unto Jesus.” (Hebrews 12:2) If you desire to ascertain your own election;—after the following manner, you shall assure your heart before God.
Do you feel yourself to be a lost, guilty sinner? Go straightway to the cross of Christ, and tell Jesus so, and tell him that you have read in the Bible, “Him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37b) Tell him that he has said, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” (1 Timothy 1:15)
Look to Jesus and believe on him, and you shall make proof of your election directly, for so surely as thou believest, thou art elect. If you will give yourself wholly up to Christ and trust him, then you are one of God’s chosen ones; but if you stop and say, “I want to know first whether I am elect,” you ask you know not what. Go to Jesus, be you never so guilty, just as you are. Leave all curious inquiry about election alone. Go straight to Christ and hide in his wounds, and you shall know your election. The assurance of the Holy Spirit shall be given to you, so that you shall be able to say, “I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him.” (2 Timothy 1:12) Christ was at the everlasting council: he can tell you whether you were chosen or not; but you cannot find it out in any other way. Go and put your trust in him, and his answer will be—“I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” (Jeremiah 31:3)
There will be no doubt about his having chosen you, when you have chosen him.
Iain H. Murray’s The Forgotten Spurgeon
In Spurgeon’s Biblical Calvinism, that he so forthrightly preached...Christ was to be lovingly pressed on all. And with the utmost confidence of success. For God had a people whom he had chosen to be saved, whom Christ had died to save, whom he was determined to save, and whom he was saving—regenerating them by the Spirit, enabling them to believe, and giving them grace to persevere to the end. This was the framework within which Spurgeon’s gospel preaching was decidedly set and it brought him into significant conflict both with Hyper-Calvinism and Arminianism.
Hyper-Calvinism, in its attempt to square all gospel truth with God’s purpose to save the elect, denies there is a universal command to repent and believe, and asserts that we have only warrant to invite to Christ those who are conscious of a sense of sin and need.
Arminianism, on the other hand, denies that God has a purpose to save anyone. It teaches ‘that Christ’s death does not in itself secure, beyond doubt, the salvation of any one man living…that if man’s will would not give way, and voluntarily surrender to grace, then Christ’s atonement would be unavailing.’
Charles Spurgeon's Autobiography, Volume 1, “A Defense of Calvinism”
https://www.spurgeongems.org/sermon/chs002.pdf
There is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. Calvinism is the gospel. I do not believe we can preach the gospel if we do not preach justification by faith, without works—nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in His dispensation of grace—nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah! Nor do I think we can preach the gospel unless we base it upon the special and particular redemption of His elect and chosen people which Christ worked out upon the cross.

"Things That Accompany Salvation"
https://www.spurgeon.org/resource-library/sermons/things-that-accompany-salvation/#flipbook/
Our faith does not cause Salvation, nor our hope, nor our love, nor our good works; they are things which attend it as its guard of honor. The origin of Salvation lies alone in the sovereign will of God the Father; in the infinite efficacy of the blood of Jesus—God the Son, and in the divine influence of God the Holy Spirit.
If we have Salvation we have Election. He that believeth is elected; whoever casts himself on Christ as a guilty sinner, is certainly God's chosen child. As sure as ever you believe on the Saviour, and go to him, you were predestinated to do so from all eternity, and your faith is the great mark and evidence that you are chosen of God, and precious in his esteem.
It is the Holy Spirit that quickens the soul, or else it would lie dead for ever; it is he that makes it tender, or else it would never feel, it is he that imparts efficacy to the Word preached, or else it could never reach further than the ear; it is he who breaks the heart, it is he who makes it whole: he, from first to last, is the great worker of Salvation in us just as Jesus Christ was the author of Salvation for us. O soul, remember except a man be born of the Spirit from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Men do not seek God first; God seeks them first; and if any of you are seeking Him today it is because He has first sought you.
“The Minister’s Farewell”, Dec. 11, 1859 (His first sermon at New Park St. Baptist Chapel was December 18, 1853 and he was called to the Pastorate April 1854)
https://www.spurgeon.org/resource-library/sermons/the-ministers-farewell/#flipbook/
Acts 20:26-27 "Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."
I question whether we have preached the whole counsel of God, unless predestination with all its solemnity and sureness be continually declared—unless election be boldly and nakedly taught as being one of the truths revealed of God. It is the minister's duty, beginning from this fountain head, to trace all the other streams; dwelling on effectual calling, maintaining justification by faith, insisting upon the certain perseverance of the believer, and delighting to proclaim that gracious covenant in which all these things are contained, and which is sure to all the chosen, blood-bought seed.
(A rebuke of Hyper-Calvinism)
I cannot imagine a more ready instrument in the hands of Satan for the ruin of souls than a minister who tells sinners that it is not their duty to repent of their sins or to believe in Christ, and who has the arrogance to call himself a gospel minister, while he teaches that God hates some men infinitely and unchangeably for no reason whatever because He chooses to do so.
How many there are kept in bondage through neglect of gospel invitations. They go up to the house of God, crying to be saved; and there is nothing but predestination for them.
Of the apostle Paul we think it may be truly said, that no sinner missed a comfort from his keeping back Christ's cross; that no saint was bewildered in spirit from his denying the bread of heaven and withholding precious truth; that no practical Christian became so practical as to become legal, and no doctrinal Christian became so doctrinal as to become unpractical.
If we are not saved by grace, we can never be saved at all. If from first to last the work of salvation be not in God's hands, none of us can ever see God's face with acceptance.
I can say also, I have not shunned to exhort, to invite, to entreat. I have bidden the sinner come to Christ. With eyes weeping for sinners, I am compelled to bid them come to Jesus.
It is not possible for me to dwell upon doctrine without invitation. If you come not to Christ it is not for want of calling, or because I have not wept over your sins, and travailed in birth for the souls of men.

On Limited Atonement

I would rather believe a limited atonement that is efficacious for all for whom it was intended, than a universal atonement that is not efficacious for anybody, except the will of men be added to it.
