If you read my earlier messages you see my tone when discussing calvinism has gone from mild and indifferent to very much against it. I did not understand the consequences of believing in calvinism because to be quite frank, I did not realize how many of them were cessationists. I knew of the TULIP but I was not aware of what it does to people believing it, how it forms their attitudes and the damage it does to evangelism, no matter how much they deny it. I do not see many calvinists walking around but they are recently gaining a large online following, one thing I would encourage everyone to pay attention to: We Christians are recruiting lost souls from the kingdom of darkness to kingdom of God. Calvinists many times are recruiting other Christians. That is why most will say "I wasn't a calvinist when I became a Christian"
If someone in my fellowship was trying to preach calvinism in the Church or try to persuade others to it, I would take action against it and I encourage everyone else to do the same. We cannot afford to be spoiled by philosophy, once you swallow that, you will start to question "Am I elect?" "Am I truly saved?" it truly opens a can of worms.
If you are a paid subscriber here, and wish to start a conversation with me about the rapture I would welcome it, I ask this because I remember you have linked something from Dave Hunt and he was also a believer in the pre-trib rapture. If you do not wish to start the conversation, I can explain it to you on the way up.

I really knew nothing of the big C myself when I joined some yrs back (this is not my first membership...left on my own but came back) sure have learned a lot since that time of ignorant bliss
you know, you can be a cessationist, and some people truly are just that without the mocking and name calling, and I have no prob with that. but the MacArthur's are going to have to answer for their diatribes against the truth.
yes I do like Dave Hunt...but we disagree on a few things...pre Trib being one...or maybe that is the only thing? not sure
nice ploy to attempt to persuade me on that one
explaining it to me on the way up is still funny. by all means do so should it happen. sometimes I would not mind if it happened yesterday
