Using Bill's questions to answer. How does your belief in Calvinism or Armenianism affect: 1) Your personal relationship to God? An understanding that God is both sovereign over and intimately involved in my life. 2) How accepted you feel that you are to God? Absolutely confident of acceptance. 3) Your prayer life? He desires to be called on and is faithful to answer. 4) Your Bible study? This makes a difference. If I come across something that seems to contradict my way of thinking, my brain sort of "seizes up" for a while. It forces me to look anew. 5) Your ability to share the gospel with others? It's my job to present the Word, and the Holy Spirit's to convict and apply the Word. If I keep that in mind, there's no problem. That's a good start. BTW, Bill asked Sir Pent if he was "C" or "A". For the record, I'm an "A"--Amyraldian. :-) Steve |

Clarification ................................... Dear Steve, I had never heard of an "Amyraldian" before, however, I just finished reading about it at the following webpage. http://members.aol.com/briangord/amyrad.htm I thought it was very informative. It sounds like the basic idea is that Arminias was theoretically right and Calvin was practically right. It gave the quote that "Christ died sufficiently for all but efficiently only for the elect." Does this website present an accurate perception of your beliefs? |

Response........... Yes, that's a good summation of the position. I wish I had a copy of Amyraut's Treatise on Predestination, but an internet search came up blank. It doesn't appear the book was ever translated. Most of my influence in that direction is from Lewis Sperry Chafer. Also, Stephen Lewis did an article found at http://www.chafer.edu/journal/95-03.htm Steve |
