An Arminian Took Over A Calvinist Pulpit

Agreed....thus you have your answer Don.

 

No, I don't think I do; from the OP:

--- edited to add:
If this thread was started to study history, then please identify the point that we're attempting to use history to learn from. Right now, it appears that the point is that pastors sometimes deceive or even outright lie to gain positions in the pulpit. If that's the point, then I think we're all in agreement that this is wrong.

 

The essentials of the Gospel are not dependent on Calvinism or non-Calvinism. Anyone who thinks so has gotten something WRONG.

 

TCGreek - thank you.

EWF - please understand that my "sore point" with this, is the constant introduction of threads that speak to calvinists vs. arminians, as opposed to actual theology and biblical study. Just call me tired of the "I'm a calvinist, so I'm better than you" or "I'm not a calvinist, so I'm better than you" so-called "discussions." Rippon's opening statement, specifically identifying a non-calvinist posing as a calvinist, set me off.

 

And who said that Greek? Let me ask you though.....do you believe you can loose your salvation at any time? Do you believe in salvation by divine grace plus human effort?

These are my concerns with Arminian theology so to me that form of Scriptural interpretation leads to humanism ....thats why I reject it

 

I hope in your military career you noticed there is no peace though I wish it were not so....then my beloved Corps would not be needed. Alas, we have tons of deployments & I dont see it changing any time soon.

The board has to like it too ....think of all the controversy, which leads to active posting which leads to more readership....to more advertising ...cha ching! :love2: Everybody loves it! :smilewinkgrin:

Of course, true Christian Brotherhood should not tolerate it. LOL So as you point out, we mostly prefer in BB either one or the other....I will let you decide for yourself which!

 

I hold to the eternal security of the believer, despite my non-Calvinism.

Salvation from start to finish is by grace alone. Period.

 

is it your understanding that many reject cal here on BB due to misunderstanding what the DoG really say, they misunderstand just how spiritually wreaked by the Fall we became, or just want to exault ourselves up to having a "part" in salvation?

 

JF, I can only speculate on what their motivation is & I wont do that on here...at least not publicly least I insult someone ....but it behooves you to ask yourself what you personally believe in your study of scripture. Then are you being lead by the HS. Heady stuff huh?
