Bible Question (short): Clarification from John Reformed...? |
Question (full): Brother John Reformed, I'd like to respond to your question, but I need to clarify something first. In the posting that I'm responding to, you made the statement, "I ask this question to bring into focus the erroneous doctine of Arminius and his followers." Were you referring to your frequent asking of the question, "What happens to people who never have heard the Gospel (does God have an alternative plan for their salvation)?" to "Bible-believing Christians" in general? OR Were you referring more specifically to your posting of the original question to the forum? -- "Dear Forum, I would like to propose a discussion concerning the Gospel. Is it God's sole means of salvation?" FYI -- I would not place myself as either a follower of Arminius (and all of the "points" of his followers at Dort) or as a full 5-point Calvinist. Based on my reading of the Scriptures, I can not fully agree with either group. |
