    Swedenborgianism

    Well, the founder himself was from Sweden (as if his name didn't give that away), but it does have a presence in the United States, with Helen Keller and Johnny Appleseed being the most notable adherents. That said, Swedenborgianism is really small, with only around 10,000 adherents worldwide.

    Anyone have good arguments against Calvinism.

    I'm a Provisionist and an ex-Calvinist. I had some doubts about Calvinism for awhile, particularly with regards to the problem of evil and limited atonement. While I am sure Calvinists don't actually teach that God is the author of evil, I personally couldn't reconcile it with my own...

    Swedenborgianism

    Swedenborgianism is a sect I have always found particularly fascinating, probably because of how small and obscure they compared to other controversial groups like LDS and JWs. I've been studying it mostly out of curiosity. The main reason why Swedenborgianism isn't considered a part of...

    Anyone else have a unique eschatology?

    I'd say my view is a mix of dispensational, historic premillennialism and progressive covenentalism. I agree with progressive covenentalism in that Christ is the True Israel and Gentiles have been grafted in. I think God only has one people, and all who have faith will inherit the promises of...

    Progressive Covenentalism

    Hello! I am exploring eschatology to have a better understanding. I see arguments for both premillennialism and amillennialism, though I admit to being biased towards the former due to my denomination and upbringing. One view I am considering is progressive covenentalism. It seems pretty...

    church government is it taboo to talk about?

    Part of it is that everyone has their own opinions about how the church should be run. Some bake it into their identity to the point that it's in their name, like Episcopalians and Presbyterians. Baptists are also like this in ther the autonomy of the local church is one of our essentials...

    Why do some Catholic leaders seem irreligious? And what is the data on Catholic Priests and other leaders who lost faith during or after retiring?

    Fair enough. Just been seeing so much slander directed at my denomination that I can get a little defensive about it

    Why do some Catholic leaders seem irreligious? And what is the data on Catholic Priests and other leaders who lost faith during or after retiring?

    With the SBC, though, it seems mostly relegated to seminaries and local churches. Apparently, the DOJ dropped all sex abuse related charges against the SBC.

    Seperating baptists and ana-baptists

    Well, a lot of early Baptists were Calvinists due to coming out of the Separatist movement, who were similar to Puritans, hence Calvnism

    was my baptism valid

    It would vary based on church, but most Baptist churches require immersion. It should be fine in your case, but I'd talk to a pastor. He should be able to tell you if re-baptism is necessary.

    My view of Calvary Chapel. Your thoughts.

    I generally like Calvary Chapel. My only concern with them is their Moses model of leadership

    So Tired of "The Left" and "The Right" Thinking.

    I guess I am technically left wing because I am a populist who sympathizes with the working class, and I think Georgism is a good idea. However, I tend to lean right wing when it comes to culture and social issues.
