Benjamite, In some ways it may unfold differently, but the end result is the same. The different words are actually those used by others in the Reformed and Baptist camp who are sometimes unhappy with the implications of words like "totally depraved", "limited atonement" and "irresistable grace" which they find misleading or perhaps offensive for a variety of reasons. I suppose one main difference may be that it follows more closely to the school of Evangelical thought that does not hold to the "once saved always saved" position. Another would be the differnce between holding that all those who are predestined persevere until the end as opposed to the thought that those who preserve to the end are the predestined. Which implies more that it might seem and would seem to be tied to the first point. I am afraid I may not do this subject justice. You should find this article of interest. I especially recommend you read the footnotes or endnotes also. I would be interested in your opinion of the article since it may be more your cup of tea than mine. It is titled A Tiptoe Through TULIP, elsewhere referred to as How close can a Catholic get to Calvinism? :-) by James Akin http://www.cin.org/users/james/files/tulip.htm Emmaus |

I can answer your last question! Here is what the Catholic Encyclopedia says: John Calvin .... His mother, Jeanne Le Franc, born in the Diocese of Cambrai, is mentioned as "beautiful and devout"; she took her little son to various shrines and brought him up a good Catholic.... There you have it! The closest a Catholic can get to Calvin is to BE Calvin. Sleepy time now... Back to the fray tomorrow. Blessings Curt BTW our church is right next door to TSU on York Road (www.centralpc.org). We live in Lutherville (odd for a Calvinist, I suppose. Should live in Calvinville, or something. Shew, it is getting late. |
