Boettner would be a good source, since (s)he(?) is a often quoted, much published dortist.

Loraine Boettner is a man.

A man who was Christened with a very peculiar first name. Perhaps it's a family name. I'll look around.

dortist

Kindly stop making up your own words and rules around here, xzins.

In fact, a Google search of "dortist" produces ONLY YOUR FREE REPUBLIC POSTS fabricating the word, "dortist."

So unless you want to be met with the word, "Doofus," every time you use it, please stop it.

There's Calvinists (me) and Arminians (you). Monergistic salvation and synergistic salvation. Several shades exist within those two groups, but these historical, factual terms are precise enough for our two sides to communicate (assuming that's your intent.)

As Orwell informed us, "He who controls the language, controls the debate." Let's get beyond petty "control" and try to make some sense of our positions.
