Huh?

Is there something offensive about GWB's #382?

If so, I seem to have missed it...

Your doctrinal beliefs are not nearly as unsettling as your complete lack of humor. Are you quite certain you're a Baptist?

It's somewhat painful to actually explain that... Oh, never mind.

Our local General Baptists are a lot more fun. And their church is growing pretty fast. And they've even had a Calvinist pianist in to pinch-hit. Horror of all horrors, they're hinting they want that awful Calvinistic person as their regular pianist.

You see, it's Calvinism sneaking in via the classic piano trojan horse. A dire threat to Baptist orthodoxy, merely another ruse described by John Calvin in his diabolical masterpiece, The Suborning Of Anabaptist Strongholds By Pianistic Artifice. Required reading at Calvinist seminaries.

But then, our local General Baptists are more interested (and successful) in proclaiming the Gospel than imposing very artificial theological litmus tests which are, to true evangelists, of largely trifling influence within the context of an evangelical Baptist outreach.

I think you must have a very strange and distorted notion of how Calvinists actually preach and make the free offer of the promises of scripture. Calvinists are, in fact, no different in this than was Spurgeon.

I think you fail to grasp that we Calvinists don't know who the Elect actually are. If you think hard about that, you'll see Calvinism much more clearly, not the ridiculous caricature of hyper-Calvinism which is the usual fare peddled by the Arminians and their unwitting allies on these threads.
