It depends on what you mean by Calvinist. ~JM~

Please, let's leave Servetus out of the soteriology talk, we can start a new thread if ya'll like. But here's my final response on him. http://carla_b.tripod.com/realfacts/tru ... vetus.html

The question isn’t a philosophical one brother, just a plain ol’ question that you can answer from Scripture. RJS already posted one, I quoted another. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him...

Modern theology usually want us to begin from a fallen/pagan view point, man’s view point and work our way up to God [anthropology]. All I suggest is we start with God and work our way down to man [theology]. You may find interest in presuppositional apologetics...

What's the change and what sparked the change?

If you think of the Lord of Lords as "JC", you have a problem. :-?

On the other hand, God calls Pastors to guide us and give goodly advice, it’s important that we head the advice of trusted men of God. DratZ! My plan to confuse you all with fancy theological terminology has been foiled. [kidding] What do I believe? That studying the decrees of God...

Let us also remember that we are prideful to ignore the advice of goodly men of God. j

Fnerb, Lutheran theology changed a lot during the 17th century, departing even further then Melanchthon, then we have the Lutherans being touched by the Orthodox Movement of the 1850's returning more to its Catholic roots. Have you ever watched "The Journey Home" it's on EWTN? Anyhoo, the...

Vic I could be wrong, but as far as I know the persecutions were thru church courts and synods, not physical. The Ariminians were removed from pastoral office by elders of there churches and removed from teaching posts thru similar means. The elders in the Reformed church vote and carry out...

The difference between the godly & the ungodly (from James Meikle's, "The Traveler" June 14, 1758) There is a wide difference--in both principle and practice--between the the godly and the ungodly. The affections of the godly are refined--and their desires exalted. The inclinations of...
