Probably depends on the Calvinists-many of them have severe disagreement as to what a true Calvinist even is, or over use of the term, often preferring "reformed", so it doesn't appear to follow a man's teachings, (even thought it does). I suspect many would say that someone who believes they have a choice in the matter, are not saved. I would say, if you are depending on being regenerated before you seek salvation, it might give a question of your salvation, since you are depending on something completely unbiblical to be your foundation for salvation. I am a Reformed Baptist, and my take is that they are saved by the same Gospel as I was, its just that they are not clear on what the Bible teaches it as being!

Members Scott Lyons Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 Calvinism is not supported at all from Scripture. Calvinism is a philosophy which imposes its doctrine onto Scripture making it align with their own paradigm. They eisegete Scripture instead of exegeting Scripture. Let's call Calvinism what it is, heresy! It is a false gospel that backloads works making it a false gospel that will not save and cannot save! It is time we call a spade a spade. And no we cannot agree to disagree because the true gospel is on the line (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). When it comes to soteriology we cannot compromise and "eat the meat and spit out the bones", or "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater." It is time we take a stand against the heresies and false gospels of Arminianism, Calvinism, and Lordship Salvation that is a plague in the vast majority of churches today! It is sad when I can't find a good church where I live to go to because of compromising on the truth of God's Word. People care more about friendships in church than they do about the truth of God's Word! It is time for people to WAKE UP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood. I, on the other hand, will continue to hold that Calvinistic/Reformed soteriology is false doctrine; and I WILL separate over it - at least over the two points of regeneration before faith and of limited atonement.

Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted May 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 21, 2020 There can be no truth in a doctrinal sense, if there is even one lie inserted. Brethren it is either truth or a lie, there can be no mixture of the two. Galatians 5:9 (KJV) A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

The original, sound Baptist Churches were turned from the way by false doctrine of every nature , just a little bit at a time until they were apostate. For me there is no secondary issue, it is truth or a lie, can't be both and will not be tolerated by me. To "pick and choose"which lie to accept is walking on very dangerous ground. Ephesians 4:14 (KJV) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; Scott Lyons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot compromise when it comes to the truth of God's Word especially on the gospel and soteriology! Calvinism and Lordship Salvation are false and from the pit of hell.

To me, thnose issues are like Deity of Jesus, Trinity, Bible inspration etc! Excuse the words of a young woman coming in here, but I think the question is...What kind of beliefs do you want your children to have? What kind of friends? God doesn't ask us to seperate over things just because. He is quite practical and logical, and he knows that we become what we hang around.
