So sister Lynn came to me with a long private email. I think she and I could have some long winded discussions.lol So what Im wanting in this thread,and Im begging you all to respect,is clear answers to my questions.I have no dog in this fight. Im a straight forward person,so here goes...I do not believe in Calvinism,Im not about to change my mind but I do wish to know more about it. I dont want to be insulted,or screamed at and I wont do the same. Im asking only level headed people to come together in this discussion. I dont want to hear from either side things like "you lie,you hate the Scriptures,you're too stupid to get it" Im asking being as open as I can be considering I have my own belief. Please,PLEASE respect this,EVERYONE!
Now sister Lynn Im sure you've tried to tell me things and I honestly either have not heard or understood what you were saying. So I am going to ask questions. Im asking what you believe and Im not trying to offend. Im going to ask stupid questions,Im sure I'll have wrong assumptions but IM ASKING for answers. I thought I had understood Calvinism but perhaps not. Im Pentecostal but Im not a long hair,jean skirt,you must speak in tongues to be saved Pentecostal.So deep breath,here we go. Im going to ask questions,Im not going to change my mind but I want to know the truth about what Calvinists believe because Im missing something here. Those who dont believe in Calvinism please dont jump in and tell me what they believe.Let them answer,please.
First question. Do Calvinists and Reformed believe the same thing? Ive heard of Reformed but not sure how or if they tie in with Calvinists. Remember,only respond if you can be civil. If you do not I will ignore you and not answer you in this thread,I urge others to do the same.
