R*o 发帖数: 3781 | 1 With the recent upsurge of Calvinism, a number of leading Calvinists have be
gun to take a far more aggressive stance in its public promotion. Both sides
, in fact, are increasingly making this issue a matter of fellowship in the
Lord, resulting in division in a number of otherwise sound churches. In some
churches, Calvinism is looked upon as a cult and members are forbidden to p
romote it even privately. In others only Calvinists are accepted as members.
Of course this has been true of pastors and mission candidates for centurie
s in nearly all Presbyterian churches and even in some Baptist churches - bu
t now that position seems to be growing.
Major evangelical seminaries, even those which generally hold to a dispensat
ional theology, are indoctrinating thousands of future pastors and missionar
ies into Calvinism's amillennialism, the replacement of Israel with the chur
ch and other facets of so-called Reformed theology. Some Christian colleges
are increasingly doing the same. Lately a heretofore unsuspected range of co
nfusion and division on this topic seems to be emerging.
In his excellent book, The Other Side of Calvinism, Laurence M. Vance claims
that there has "of late been a resurgence of Calvinism in the Southern Bapt
ist Convention." | R*o 发帖数: 3781 | | R*o 发帖数: 3781 | 3 May God be with me
