@TheRhetorRick I graduated from LCA, LU, and baptized by Sr at TRBC. And you touched on something that so many people miss. There’s inconsistencies because it wasn’t always given over to a specific theological brand, it was built by people who love Jesus and knew they were better together.
Seriously, some of yall cringe at the idea of ever loving Dinesh, Leighton, James White or 5 Solas. If that’s the case, you cringe at something Christ loves and commands you to love. Check your hearts.
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter a flying hoot what brand of soteriology you hold. What matters is what has always mattered - that Christ does to save sinners.
That means to listen to exactly what each other is saying, put your nose in the book to examine the scripture to see if it’s true, and then at the end of the day, glorify Christ in what you know and how you articulate it and interact with others of differing opinions.
If Christ was to come down right now and publicly examine Christian X, what would he say? Arminians, well done for so vehemently honoring free will that you straw man every Calvinist thinker to ever have come before you? Or great job Calvinists for using your articulation as moral superiority? Stop the nonsense and stay in your camp if you really need that affirmation.
@TheRhetorRick So interesting. Jerry cared more about reaching the world than checking someone’s soteriology. That’s why Elmer Towns a self-proclaimed Calvinist (if he could define what that meant) was his right-hand man.
On this day in 1560, Scottish Parliament accepted the Protestant confession, written by John Knox, thereby establishing the reformed church in Scotland.

Did you know baptist ministers were imprisoned in Virginia by Anglicans for unauthorized preaching?
Read about Elijah Craig, one such preacher, founder of a classical school, and supposed inventor of bourbon.

Their final cry to their kingsmen,
“May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering!”
