2 weeks ago I meet a Methodist minister who confessed that he is moving towards TULIP. I know at least 75 people who were once members of a CRC who left for more evengelical churches that were more Arminian in viewpoint than Calvinistic. One older gentleman put it this way, "I was raised CRC, but then thank God I got saved." His point was that prior to about age 45, he had never heard a salvation message is any of the CRCs he faithfully attended for so many years. He heard lots of messages on Calvinism to be sure, but the knowledge of Calvinism has not saved a single soul.

I was 35 when i was saved .No one in Calvinist churches believes they are automatically saved by the church .
My Presbyterian pastor teaches the salvation message at least once a month
So Dot were all theses guys in your dance group?

And I know the same number that have fled from their Arminian churches in the last 6 months to attend our new church. They were tired of not worshiping a Soveriegn God... (Their words, not mine)
Sounds like we are even.
