    It seems to this casual observer here at BB that...

    ...Most non-Cals in the SBC are semi-pelagian. Any opinions on that view?

    Wouldn't a person know if they were semi-pelagian?
    I much prefer the term "Born Again Christian" The terms non-cal and Arminian are really offensive. What if I labeled Calvinist with something other than what they wish to be called.
    I do not live by the faith of another man so why should I be called anything other than what I am. A "Born Again Christian".

    To place people in categories is really an attempt to discredit them by the faults of others.

    Just because someone has one point in common with another belief doesn't make them a follower of more than one belief..

    What would happen if I called Calvinist "Catholic Calvinist" After all that is what they are most similar to and it is where they came from. However this does not make them Catholic Calvinist. Most prefer to be called reformers but, it still means the same thing. They are still catholic in origin, and it is still the Catholic Church they have set out to reform.

    Arminians are most similar to Methodist and I most certainly am no Methodist. Again another name that came out of Calvinism and originally Catholic in origin.

    Why is it so hard for Calvinist to believe that Catholics were not the original Christians.
