Which one is reformed and which one is armenian? | ||||||

Dear Schwartz: Reformed: Christ died for his people only. Therefore the Gospel is not "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life." It is "Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand." Peace, Lionstrong |

Really, Lionstrong? Are you seriously submitting this post as a summary statement of Reformed theology? --Hank | ||||||

Dear Hank, What is unbiblical about this statement from a reformed perspective? I take it that you are not reformed. So, if you do understand that we teach that some are foreordained to suffer God's just wrath for their sins, you would not agree that such is the biblical case. ...... And I'm not asking you to agree, Hank. But the reformed believer in Christ, not knowing who the elect are, cannot in all honesty tell his neighbor that he knows that God has a wonderful plan for his life. You should at least understand that position, Hank, even if you don't agree. The reformed believer in Christ, out of obedience and love for God and his neighbor, will warn his neighbor of the wrath to come, and tell him is only refuge from the coming storm is in the Cleft of the rock. If he would but take shelter there, he will be saved. The reformed believer, out of obedience and love for God and neighbor, will then pray the Holy Spirit to replace his neighbor's a heart of stone with a heart of flesh (repentance) and thereby make him willing and able to receive the Lord (faith) in whom alone there is forgiveness, righteousness and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, adoption, and eternal life. Again, I'm not asking you to agree, Hank, but don't you understand? ....... Peace, Lionstrong |

Yes, I understand somewhat better your position, Lionstrong, and thanks for a prompt reply. In your former terse statement, the one I responded to, I thought you were jesting. I really did. My background is in the Reformed tradition, although I never quite considered myself a five-point Calvinist but certainly do believe the Bible teaches the absolute sovereignty of God. Oh, but the hour is late and, feeling disinclined to add anything more to this thread that is already bulging at the seams, I bid you good-bye for now and part with every good wish for your peace in Christ Jesus. --Hank | ||||||
