Subject: Are those He called always chosen? |
Bible Note: Joe having studied the two teachings at some length I find the differences little more than lessons in semantics and definitions than any thing else. I believe if each side could (and that is a “big” could) accurately define and qualify their points of contention they would find there isn’t a big difference between them. As for salvation and evangelism I fail to see how either position views that differently. One side may approach the subject with a little more zeal than the other. One side may view the expected results of evangelism differently, but as far as methodology and need I see little difference. As for the sovereignty of God I think both stand in agreement. However I believe one side is accused of fostering the New Age teaching known as Word of Faith that makes God little more than a parking lot attendant. However when you get down to the basics that is simply not true and this teaching is considered false by Calvinist and Arminianist alike. However if you feel that your adding value to the forum rather than just using it to preach your soapbox have at it. Right now the vote is 2 to 3 to continue. |
