Is Rick Warren A Calvinist?

Or you could say he is loved by most, respected by most if not all who actually know him, and does not care what labels are pinned on him.

We had some "more concerned with Reformed theology" than "people coming to Christ" boys show up our service yesterday. It took them about 2 minutes to try and pin me down on "where I stood" on these issues. And it took me about equal time to tell them we don't focus on human systems but on reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We simply tell them and let God work out the details of how divine sovereignty and human responsibility meet.

As I have said on more than one occasion, the average Christian's knowledge far exceeds their level of obedience and sacrifice.

Warren focuses on the right things and I applaud him for it.

 

From what I've read of your quotes, I see nothing in which he claims to be Reformed, nor any reformed doctrines. he seems to be purposely avoiding such theological discussions, so as to focus on Christian growth. I can't fault him on that since he does encourage and require extensivetheological training for staff and workers.

FWIW,
