"When an organization as large and powerful as Calvary Chapel is utterly devoid of checks and balances or doctrinal, financial, and moral accountability, the results will not be surprising: abuse, power-struggles, and the oft-unspoken fear of raising even the smallest objection to the whims of the powers that be."
-- Jason Spellman, former Calvary Chapel pastor, in Calvary Chapel and the Calvinists
"...the Calvary Distinctives [link now broken] are a whole lot different than the Westminster Confession. Anyone who reads the Calvary document should be troubled that Chuck Smith makes no reference to God as a Trinity, or to the Deity of Jesus Christ. You can believe in almost anything so long as you behave in the right way."Related threads:

These didn’t click.
I just remember hearing Smith in the 2002-2004 time frame. I know he didn’t embrace God’s sovereignty, but wow!
