My pastor says that he is a Calvinist....But he feels that it is very important that we follow the great commission "Matthew 28:19-20".
Why in the world, then, would some members of the congregation come down on him just because he says that he is a Calvinist.
My pastor preaches from the Bible, and not once in five years has he ever had a sermon that pushes Calvinism. For instance, never has he preached a sermon entitled something such as "Why we need to Be Calvinists Instead of Arminians"
Give me a break.....this man preaches the word, and lives by the word, so why should it matter if he calls himself a Calvinist or an Arminian?
If we teach the Bible, live by the Bible, and limit our Calvinism/Arminian debates to Saturday morning coffeehouse talk with our friends and fellow brothers and sisters, then WHAT'S THE BEEF!!
Help me, please!! I need to defend this wonderful man to some very narrow-minded people.
