PL its not a matter of which group holds to scriptural authority, each group Calvinist or Non-calvinist believes they are doing so on the basis of scripture. None would say that their view is without basis in scripture. However the fault lay in the hermeneutics that the Non-calvinist employs.

However, I would like to point out that the Calvinists in the conference have exhibited nothing but love toward their fellow SBCers that are not Calvinist. They admire them and care for them despite their differences. That sir is what will win the day in the long run. Many of the Calvinists relate how they came to Christ under the teaching of a Non-calvinist and that it was their love of scripture (Non-calvinists) and what it meant that lead to their (Calvinists)conversion because their pastor's love for God's word.

Peter

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
