"Dr. Estep charges that a revival of Calvinism will lead to a lessening of evangelistic commitment and missionary vision."

I don't know how he can say this at all.

The other night I was reading about Wesley and Whitefield, and their disagreement on predestination and even brief estrangement, I think. Anyway, Wesley, even though he disagreed vehemently with Whitefield, placed him in charge of building up the number of faithful through missionary work. Article I was reading implied that Whitefield didn't have the organizational acmumen that Wesley had, but that Whitefield was much, much better than either of the Wesley men in bringing in a harvest. Both Wesley and Whitefield once they had really gone their separate ways tended not to poach on each other's territory, and Wesley delivered Whitefiled's eulogy at his funeral. And what about Charles Spurgeon? He lived for bringing people to God. Either I'm not understanding things properly, Estep is all wet here.
