You probably should put Martin Luther on your list. Also Martyn Lloyd-Jones. If you desire I can send you an Excel Sheet of one of my Libraries (some I do not have cataloged yet). You will be able to tell which ones are Calvinists by the Publishers. Some are Greek/Hebrew resources, and even some Arminian, but those should be apparent., et. al.

How about Martyn Lloyd-Jones. <br><br>Whether Bruce is Reformed I do not know, but he has written some excellent commentaries that do not disservice the Reformed. <br><br>There are many other Reformed theologians teaching at our seminaries that are not listed, but its impossible to list everyone. Wouldn't you sy those like MacArthur and Mohler are sympathetic to Calvinsim, but are not Reformed?

By Reformed theologians, do you mean only trained, theologians proper or important reformed writers/preachers/pastors?<br><br>How about Jerry Bridges? Nathaniel Ranow? John Bunyon? Francis Schaeffer? <br><br>Also, would all consider D. James Kennedy reformed? Sometimes I listen to him and have to just shake my head and wonder. . .

Why would you say MacArthur and Mohler are not Reformed?<br>

They are calvinistic in their soteriology, but being Reformed is more than just that. Besides infant baptism, MacArthur is a dispensationalist which poosess directly the Reformed historic position of the Covenant of Works and Covenant of Grace. I don't know as much about Mohler except he is highly regarded and is President of a SBC seminary. Again being SBC and having a solid reputation within Reformed circles are telling me that he is calvinistic but again not Reformed. <br><br>

In reply to:

While I would agree with you that being Reformed is more than just 5 points, most when they say Reformed they mean are you Reformed in your soteriology. This is the basic inference. I must also point out that all Prebys do not agree on every issue of eschatology (A-Mil, Post-Mil, and even some Dispys) or even baptism for that matter. Thus, with your definition none could be Reformed accept--well that really was not explained in your post. Remember part of the Reformation is to be always be reforming and this I believe we can say of MacArthur and Mohler and thus we would need to say they are Reformed. Everyone is growing in Reformation theology if the are truly Reformed.

Hi Joe,<br><br>What about a man like D. James Kennedy? I would imagine that, were you to ask him, he would affirm all 5 points and yet when you listen to him preach or present the gospel, he presents a "decisional" invitation, much like that of Billy Graham.<br><br>This is a sincere question, with regard to consistency as necessity.

Joe<br><br>You could include Luther on that list (soteriology speaking of course), unless of course you believe what Lutherans say about the beliefs of Martin Luther.<br><br>Tom

Tom, <br><br>Luther and the Lutherans are very much different. Bondage of the Will is a wonderful book, not written by Lutherans, but Luther..
