This is not now nor has it been a Discussion of Calvinism /Arminianism.
What it has been is a discussion of basic CHRISTIAN doctrine that the entire visible church say marks a Christian. To believe other wise puts one out side the visible church.
Making it about something it is not might divert some , but those that are believers understand .
I posted the Creed that defines Christianity .If one can not say Amen to that they are simply outside the professing Christian church.
Terry, why did you pull a quote out of context and then respond to as if it was the only part of the quote?
Here's the evolution of the "quote":
*******************
CARepubGal: Silly question: what is Biunity? I understand the difference between trinitarian and tritheist quite well but this is confusing.
Rnmomof7: Dougs doctrine holds that the Holy Spirit is not a member of the trinity ..He has a two part god. father and son ..thus the BI Unity not the TRInity
CARepubGal: :shakes head: What is the role of the Holy Ghost in that doctrine? Comic relief? < /end sarcasm>
Doug: You should know not to ask anyone who's been disagreeing with me for three days what doctrine I believe.
Wrigley: Why, because you won't be able to give your filtered spin?
Doug: No, because it comes out like this:
"Wrigley believes that God wants everyone but him and a select few others to go to hell and burn in endless agony forever."
Now if I represented that as your view to a third party who didn't know your views, would you try to clarify it?
************
This may or may not be an accurate assessment of Wrigleys beliefs. But the point is that describing his belief as such and stating it as fact doesn't mean he agrees with it or that it is accurate. Just as you incompletely describing my beliefs doesn't make them accurate.
As you define it, yes.
