Current dispute between online well known Calvinists

[JoeyChris]

I assume Calvinists are familiar with both Alpha and Omega Ministries and Pulpit & Pen.

What is your opinion of both websites?
What do you think of Dr. James White's defence of the Charismatic Dr Michael Brown?

A link for context concerning Mr. White's defense would be helpful.

Unfortunately both sides of the fence use extended audio format, so time will be required.

He is assumed to be still behind a lot of articles from Pulpit and Pen's blog.

I am only familiar with Dr. White. I am not a regular listener by any means, but have spent a little time listening to him, and own a handful of his books, have read bits and pieces from them. I have no opinion of Pulpit & Pen, have never heard of the site, same goes for Dr. Brown, have never heard of the man. Maybe you could elaborate a little on Pulpit & Pen and Dr. Brown and the dispute? Summary or something would be helpful.

 

[twin1954]

Controversy and disputes aired publicly are never a good thing. One side almost always takes the extreme view of the others statements. It is rare that either side actually grasps what the other is actually saying.

Still when it comes to outright heresy a public refutation is needed in order to warn others. But a simple difference of opinions should never become a point of controversy. It is never good for the body of Christ and usually causes nothing but division among brothers.

Dr. White's podcast has become a long, meandering collection of personal triumphs, cycling stories, and victim playing.

Pulpit & Pen has always had a Fundamentalist edge that drove me away after a few months of listening.

I avoid both.

I don't even consider myself a convinced Baptist any longer.

Good luck sorting it out.

Yours in the Lord,
