Can A Baptist be A cal And NOT be "Reformed?"

Question remains IF Calvin himself held though to "4 or 5 points". as he did write in his view that Jesus death as the atonement was indeed propiation/able to pay for all sins of whole world, but effectionally applied only those those whow ere elected on by God to receive Christ...

Think IF phrased that way, most 4 pointers like myself are 5 pointers!

 

progressive/modern Dispy theology as 'smoothed" out the differences to some extent, as they do see different programs for Church/Isreal, but tend to also see one people of God, as that God always worked under a covenant of Grace in different dispensations of time, and that some also have dropped rapture to what was called "historical premil" view!

 

Yes, as that is part of the "cal package"

 

Depends if one takes a literal view of prophecy being interpretated , as I would, or to spiritaul/allogorical, regarding Ezeckiel temple!

As that is when woud have the restored temple, either a ohysical one, or else refering to the Covenant of Grace for 'spirtual isreal"

Both Isaiah/John saw future Kingsom Age upon earth, when Jerusalem would be "capital city" and when all nations would come there to meet the God of both Church and of isreal!

 

Differing views on timing of rapture in Dispy, and some have returned to historical pre mil, as in progressive wing of the Dispy camp!

Also, one can be a cal, and still disgree on IF jesus actually died for all, while effectually only towards the Elect, view Calvin himself at times seemed to lean towards, or else IF ONLY died for sins of the elect period...

 

Think that was not a "flaw", but a strenght!
