Thanks for the info. As my professor and I were talking this afternoon he, in speaking of the C.O.C seminaries, said that they were not Calvinistic nor Arminian. They simply hold a high view of scripture and they try not to interpret scripture through denominational lenses. However, my thought is that no one interprets scripture without some sort of bent. I guess, and this idea is not new to this forum, that when I look at reformed theology I see what is plain in scripture. Reformed theology helps to explain what is there already. Now, there are things that I do not have completely worked out within RT and some reformed theologians but I'm not willing to abandon the ideas presented for lack of understanding.

These Campbellites have their view of Scripture and their own "denomination" but it seems that they may not want to admit it. It seems as though they believe that another denomination may be on track theologically but they won't validate it because it comes from a particular denomination or group or sect...whatever you please to call it.

I can't remember what it's called exactly...maybe a hermeneutic??? But I think not too long ago there was a discussion on this very issue...that everyone looks at Scripture through some method, this is true. And if we don't use a proper or correct method then we are likely to fall victim to our own faulty interpretations. I'd rather stick with SOME of the good ol' boys who were and will be smarter and more discerning than I may ever be.
