Hello everyone

[Elf]

Just want to introduce myself.
My name is Dennis, I live in Connecticut U.S.A.
I enjoy discussion Christianity with other Christians as well as non-Christians, I can be headstrong at time, and don't mean to insult anyone, so please, if you see this, let me know.
I am also a reformed Calvinist (not a Hyper-Calvinist), a "5" pointer. I have been a Christian for,..... , about 26 years I think.

I also have a Christian website, but love meeting new people. Looking forward to making new friends and joining in on many discussions of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Hi and welcome Dennis

Forgive my ignorance on 2 fronts (I have a lot more ignorance than that but we will just start with these 2 ;) )

1) What's a "5" pointer?
2) And who is your avatar of?

I guess you will love my pastor then (Mark Driscoll) if you are into podcasts as he is a strong Calvinist.

[quote:1flynqzo]1) What's a "5" pointer?

I believe in the doctrines of grace.
Which are:
1) Total depravity
2) Unconditional election
3) Limited atonement
4) Irresistible grace
5) Perseverance of the Saints

2) And who is your avatar of?

Wilhelmus a Brakel. A Dutch Reformer.

I guess you will love my pastor then (Mark Driscoll) if you are into podcasts as he is a strong Calvinist.

[/quote:1flynqzo]Cool, I'll have to look him up sometimes, thank you.

ah that list Elf looks familiar! Hadn't heard it called a 5 pointer before!

I am still trying to get my head round it all Personally I was glad for that clip as it explained everything to be succinctly and simply what everyone believes.

sorry I didn't want to sidetrack your welcome post - thanks for explaining

No problem, no side track. I will look at that link, thank you.

I understand what you mean about getting your head wrapped around it, it took me quite some time, but once you do, it is so powerful, what an awesome God we have.
