I'm new here. My name is Bryan Bridges II. I am an American. Anglo/Franco (Yes, that stuff matters to me; I'm not racist I promise). I live in the State of Louisiana. I was raised Pentecostal and had a proud Pentecostal heritage until the Lord saved me. I remained a Pentecostal until the Lord directed me to a Calvinist named James White. I was extremely offended by the man, so I set off to prove his doctrines wrong. But, after two years of failure, I have ceded defeat and become a Calvinist. Not sure where to go from here. If anyone has advice for a letter I am writing to a North Korean Christian I will be glad to receive it.
Hi.

Hi.
Hi; good to see you; God bless His Word to you. James White has written some sound material; one of his books is The Forgotten Trinity.

WELCOME! I personally find that in discussing spiritual matters one needs to focus upon where will they spend eternity...and that requires a basic agreement of just Whom Jesus is.... no reason to discuss anything else until they get that right imo. Keep focus upon Jesus

Bryan Bridges II, welcome! I am curious about the Calvinist viewpoint. Part of me says, "This could be true" but I then think of the scripture that says something like, "Jesus should save them all". However, they have to come to the knowledge of the truth as I see it (which many have/will reject).

I'll check out James White now that you mentioned it.

I call myself a euro-mutt (English, Swedish, Irish, German and French).
