rhetoric...

FTD was responding to my sarcastic post and you claim that what he is saying is "rhetoric?" Did you agree with post 24? Does that really represent the Calvinistic position? I was just kidding, but I think FTD thought that some of you guys actually think that way.

What do you mean by "Rhetoric..."?????

Regarding Calvinism and love for the lost. Whitefield preached sometime 40 hours per week and travelled tirelessly to do the work of an evangelist. He was criticized for weeping over the lost condition of men. His evangelistic preaching was, humanly speaking, the catalyst for the Great Awakening during which an estimate 10% of the Colonists were brought to Christ.

William Carey, the father of Protestant Missions, was a Particular Baptist. Particular in the sense of Particular Redemption (i.e. Limited Atonement).
