My theology today is solidly reformed 5-point Calvinism, but I credit men like Chuck Smith, who taught that personal Bible study was necessary for Christian growth for planting the seeds that have brought me to where I am today.

I was converted in the heyday of dispensationalism back in the ‘70s. Fancied myself a true believer until a good friend opened the Bible to reveal the richness of what is embodied in the Reformed faith.

Interesting that is was the process and not the substance that stuck with you. I find that true of many former CC members. Truth is in the Bible, not in men. How we learn to study the Bible is obviously the key.
