Thanks for starting an interesting topic. After my post, I did some Googling, and after many false starts, I found this page, WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST?? which does a fair job of describing what I was trying to say, though I don't agree with everything he says. In fact, prior to this search, I had never heard of this guy or his organization.

But it is miles above 99% of the stuff turned up by my search, including that on John MacArthur's site.

So, what do you think... wink

There is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. - C.H. Spurgeon
