Once the person acquires the assurance of salvation, the change within cause him/her to be drawn toward God in such a compelling manner that it becomes totally irresistible. Nothing becomes more important to a new true believer than loving and serving God. That is when the Grace of God become irresistible.

Good point Gentle Jude (reference to Calinism).We still have a choice to accept Christ or not! "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

We are saved by grace and by grace alone. It has nothing to do with who we are, what we've done or where we are from. Our works can be an expression of our love for Christ but to boast about what we have done for the Lord is wrong. Works will not get you into heaven. Only the sacrifice of Jesus and through God's abundant grace. You must accept Christ for what he has done for you and ask him to forgive you. His grace does the rest. We do not deserve salvation but God's grace allows us to be a child of God. Grace is a gift; accept it, it's free.

I bet the definition given by Gentle Jude is one hundred percent correct. I felt saddened when I read it. I had expected that the term is used by some denomination that believes in God's irresistible power of saving each and every soul. I would at once have joined it. Vain hope again. My prejudice that Calvinism is cruel was confirmed once again.

It is one of the 5 major points of Calvinism (TULIP). It is the theory that we do not chose to accept Jesus into our lives. Man can't resist God's will or grace. So if a person accepts Jesus into their lives, it is because God has given them the grace to do it which they can't resist. I'm not sure if I totally agree with this theory!
