Landmark Baptist

I found this church website that has a lot of teaching outlines, sermon outlines, and books that landmarkers would be interested in. http://www.idahobaptist.com/index.htm

The following is a quote from their "summary of doctrines":

Sovereign Grace
Our church believes that "whosoever will to the Lord may come." However we see that the Bible declares that by nature all mankind is spiritually dead and alien to God. In other words, sinners do not come to Christ of their own accord. It is not until God first gives the sinner a willing heart that he will repent, believe and come to Christ.

We believe that this gift of grace is sovereignly given by God to whomsoever He wills.

Our church is evangelical, and we invite sinners to come to Christ, but we know that only those whom the Lord first touches will turn to Him.

I don't understand the calvanistic position on salavation, especially in light of 1 Timothy 2:4 "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."

Have you ever noticed that many of the Landmark Baptist websites are"sovereign grace" or calvanistic?
