Calvinist Pastor Turns from Calvinism After 20 Years

Neither Arminianism or Calvinism belong anywhere in a Baptist church. To claim being a Baptist/Calvinist is ridiculous. To claim being Baptist/Arminian is just as ridiculous. There are a LOT of people on here claiming to be Baptist when they are far from it.

 

So that would leave all all of us as being Finny followers then?

 

I'm not a ''Finny follower'', a ''Calvin follower'', or a follower of any other man. I'm a "Jesus Christ follower''. :thumbs:

 

Thanks for the link, Inthelight, he said just about everything I have been saying here for years. He said Calvinism's proof texts will not bear the burden, and I say will not stand up to the light of bible study. He dismissed non-Calvinists with the same claims, found in poster after poster here, i.e. ignorant or insolent, etc.

He even referenced one of my oft used verses on election, 1 Peter 2:9-10.

But the most interesting statement was his "discovery" that the Calvinist proof texts, better support an alternate view contextually.

Nuff said.

 

You are a riot b4l. I told you that you need to read Church History. Pick up some needed knowledge. Baptists are made up of Calvinists and Arminians. And of course you are of the latter camp --though you insist against all reason that it isn't so.

I had mentioned before that the early Baptists in the first part of the 17th century were composed of two groups the General Baptists (which you would have been comfortable among) and the Particular Baptists (which I would would have felt at home among).

You can't get away from it b4l.:tongue3:

 

We all here are that!

But have to still have some type of defined theology beyond just "baptist", correct?

 

No, they are "Independent" of anything definitive.

 

ALL of us belive in certain theology though, correct?
