I had to correct a couple of misconceptions but, otherwise, we were on the same page. He said he now believes the 5 tenets of reformed theology (TULIP) but he said he wasn't a Calvinist. Like more than a few Southern Baptists, he confused hyper-Calvinists with Calvinists. After explaining the difference, he's okay with calling himself a Calvinist.
Well, there is nothing holy about the name 'Calvinist'. I prefer to be called 'Reformed', myself. Having grown up with one foot in the Primitive Baptist church, I can see how Southern Baptists (i.e. 'Missionary' Baptists  ) lump hyper-Calvinists with real Calvinists.

The instructor stated that we had an absolute responsibility to inform other believers outside of the reformed faith of the CORRECT theology.
And what do we always ask for when someone makes questionable statements? "What scripture supports your argument?" I wonder how your instructor would handle Romans 14.

Just some questions for this forum. Is it enough to just be identified as a Christian? When we stand before God, do you think He will ask us about our different denominations and beliefs? Or do you think He will ask us, have you accepted my Son, Jesus Christ as the atonement for your sins? Just asking.
Thank you.

He won't need to ask, He knows His own. It won't be a great comprehensive test in the sky. I think it will be more like a self awareness package when I'll see all that I did in context and will have knowledge beyond my limited picture I have now. Total awareness from His view. Wow.
Doug, good point. I've had some good classes in this church, but this particular instructor seems rather dogmatic.

Neither. He won't ask us anything. He will open the book and see if our names are there. Of course, as Dove said, He knows His own, so even that is a metaphor for our feeble minds.

BTW, I finally found a local source for Marmite, a Southern Family Market in Dothan with an international snack section. I'm not sure if $5.79 is steep for a 125g jar but it sure beats the $15.50 I paid for the same size with S&H added in.

My family's favorite is Nutella. That European spread is not so hard to find. But one jar might last one day in our house.

For the last couple of years my wife has kept some Nutella on hand. But unlike Marmite, I've seen that in several stores around here.
However, I don't eat a lot of sweets, so the Marmite is more my style.

On the way to work this moring, I was listening to the radio...His Radio or some local Christian station.
Anyways, the DJ's were discussing being single in today's world, etc. and they were laughing about pick-up lines. This one made me laugh...
"I never believed in predestination until now..." you can combine dating with good theology!

I think I may have used that line back in college. I obviously didn't work!

Thanks for your thoughts Shallbe.
An update on my health. The cancer counts are rising once again. Ive been on chemo for 3 1/2 yrs now with 7 or 8 different drugs. Not sure that any others will work or that I will be able to tolerate them. Next appointment is March 31.

Has anybody ever read the Book of Joe? It's right after He Brews.

Just as a side-bar mention. I attend a calvary chapel but my pastor knows I am a card carrying 5 pointer, I dont preach calvin, I preach the scriptures, I dont preach chuck smith I preach the scriptures. What I interpret the scriptures to mean is condusive to alignment with reformed theology. I told my pastor that is what I believe and I stand by that. We have an agreement...We both love Jesus and we both preach the gospel according to our conscience.
QUESTION TO ALL.....
In newsweek there is supposed to be an article about the 5 new ideas changing the world, and one of them is the 'new calvinism'....with quotes from Mark Driscol...anyone read it yet???? is it on the net??

It sounds like "new" Calvinism is just a resurgence of "old" Calvinism in the post-Wesleyan aftermath in the USA

Thanks for the link.
Entire article had too much sarcasm to be taken seriously, imo.
