  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello!

I greatly admire the Anabaptist faith and I agree with them on a lot of things.

I'm an evangelical, but I have been greatly influence by Anabaptism, but I still have a few questions.

1. Can an Anabaptist believe that there is an eschatological significance to the nation of Israel and that God still has plans for it? How can an Anabaptist be pro-Israel in that sense while simultaneously affirming the doctrine of non-resistance?

2. I'm not exactly a Calvinist or an Arminian, and I want to remain open to either view. If I were to be convinced of the Calvinist view, would that disqualify me from being an Anabaptist? What about Molinism?

Can an Anabaptist believe that there is an eschatological significance to the nation of Israel and that God still has plans for it?
Obviously Certainly Yes.

How can an Anabaptist be pro-Israel in that sense while simultaneously affirming the doctrine of non-resistance?
Same as Y'SHUA. We [ekklesia] follow Y'SHUA.

If I were to be convinced of the Calvinist view, would that disqualify me from being an Anabaptist?
Probably, but just like those who claimed "I am of Apollos", they could repent and some did [probably].

What about Molinism?
Any -ism.
