I'm sure you are. I've already had a falling out with you, and I don't feel like doing it again.
Yes, you claimed you were a double predestinarian and Supralapsarian Calvinist. But your following posts indicated the opposite. And when called out on it you let people up quite a few rabbit trails before getting a good thread in 'Baptists' closed down.
A calvinist 'twin1954' and an Arminian 'me' had reached common ground. Was this a first in the history of CF ? Anyone.
It is very clear that if someone doesn't fit your narrow view of Calvinism then they are considered liars. I've had enough of people on this forum using Calvin and other Calvinists against me as if they had any bearing on what I believe.
Wrong again - BTW calling someone a liar is a violation of CF rules. Please edit your offence and remove it.
What I hope is clear is I do not appreciate anyone - Calvinist, Arminian or other, putting words in others mouths and making false claims. Most of my post are in response to these - as you already know,
Let's stop and take a breather... I'll stop calling myself a Calvinist, and since I've stopped I really have no label.
You want to know what I believe? Here is what I believe:
1. The five Solas of the Reformation: Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christos, Sola Scriptura, and Soli Deo Gloria
2. The five points of Calvinism: Total Depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistable grace, and Perseverance of the saints
Good for you. Many don't go along with 'L'. There are many kinds of 'TD'- Nobdysfool explained thous well a few posts back. Point - which version of TULIP.
In case you are wondering, belief in the Bible (Sola Scriptura) and the gospel (Solus Christos, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia) are found in the five Solas.
I was not wondering or in the least bit interested.
The problem comes when you insinuate something is Calvinist and all those silly non-calvinist are too dumb to realise, per your previous post.
There is a HUGE amount of common ground between both sides, actually.
There are differences between Calvinist ( so what) and there are differences between Arminians ( so what again). Unfortunately this forum seems to polarise people such that they start making false accusations of what others believe or do not believe. Infuriating.
I don't read Calvin or any other man's work: just the Bible. So let's not get worked up about whether I'm a Calvinist or not. I don't care what I am called anymore, as it just get's me into arguments.
May I kindly suggest you do read Calvin and mainstream Calvinist and Arminian authors.
Then you may see why so many here on CF call out Calvinists. The Calvinist responds he/she does not believe the mainstream (authors) stuff - which is entirely ok, nothing wrong with that at all. The problem is IMO, mainstream book writers such as Sproul DO write extreme stuff - thus giving moderate Calvinism one huge headache.
