Do we as Reformed believers have a different understanding of the Trinity than non-Reformed believers?

We certainly have a different understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit in regards to regeneration.

Tom,

I'm sure that you are aware but the sake of others the link to the review of "The Shack" you provided is by a man who is- bold print his own words.

#1 "not a 5-point TULIP Calvinist or reformed, . . ."

#2 Believes the critical reviews of "The Shack" are "by respected theologians who want to cram their theology down other peoples throat." most likely Albert Mohler and Tim Challies.

#3 He (the reviewer) also is in agreement with "much with the views of election taught by Trinitarian theologians like Karl Barth, T.F. Torrance, (Barth's student) C. Baxter Kruger, Malcolm Smith"

I have heard nothing but negative comments about Barth's doctrine of election which is a [color:"FF0000"]red flag[/color] for me [color:"FF0000"]to stay away.[/color]

As for all three members of the Trinity having nails driven through their hands this idea has to do with the word "Perichoresis" which I think has to do with fellowship within the trinity and at the same time oneness. You will have to search that out yourself. I think the view is biblical but has been exagerated by "The Shack" guys.

If you are a good googler you can find a 35 minute video (interesting) by C. Baxter Kruger on the doctrine (his interpertation) of "perichoresis".


a little sloppy I know.
