The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum SBC and Calvinism

I do not see Calvinism to be mutually exclusive of the democratic process;as our frame of government is predicated upon the Reformed governmental construct.Hence,I'm quite saddened to see the tactics employed by those in the SBC.Such a baseless, Biblically variant attack of Calvinism only invites the kind of ad hoc theology that has triggered the statistical hemorrhaging of mainline Protestantism. As iron sharpens iron (as per Proverbs 27:17),legitimate defenders of the faith eagerly engage in discourse. That being said,their "reluctance" to do wreaks of partisan acridity that, if left unchecked, undermines the belief in the inerrancy of God's Word. In short,the perpetuation of democracy is not the aim of this heterodoxical cabal within the SBC.
The London Baptist Confession of 1689 is among much that delineates the early Calvinistic influences in the Baptist Faith.Let us supplicate the Father's mercy that our brothers therein are drawn to put on the armor of God and quell this rebellion.
