I am currently baptist but not Baptist so will post here.
I read on one of the threads on the Baptist only section where someone referred to McArthur as a dispensationalist.
I thought he was calvinist.
Did I miss something?
Thanks!
Yes, most (not all!) Baptist Calvinists I have met are pre mil.
Not the same as dispensationalist--at least, not the same as those I know who identify as dispensationalist.
But they do seem to be kinfolk theologies to each other.
I have to say most I know who identify as dispensationalist are not calvinist.
Two other well known dispensationalist who are Calvinist: Lewis Sperry Chaffer and Henry Morris.
I think the real friction lies between Covenant Theology and Dispensationalist Theology. It depends on how the Scriptures are handled. Both can be Calvinist.
