>>. First you had Luther and Calvin's followers. Then they broke into sub-groups, then the Baptists came along and told the first wave of Protestants that they were wrong.<<
I follow Christ, not men, and cling to His gospel.
Reformed theology simply explains it best.
>>Arminian Baptists (what's that????)<<
Baptists (who believe in immersion as the outward symbol of a life dedicated to Christ), but think they made the decision to follow Christ (rejecting election), that it was not the work of the irresistable Holy Spirit.
>>Now you have Reformed Baptists forming in the 1970s<<
You mis-read. Our specific Church was planted in the 70's in RI as part of the SBC. We hold to the teachings of reformed theology.
>>And what's the Warren theology of church growth??<<
Church marketing to expand the number of people in the pews. Making church what "the people" want it to be, and not what God commands it to be. Usually it involves surveys and being sensitive to the seekers "felt needs".
Doing whatever it takes to "get them in the door", and usually watering down scriptural truths so as to not offend the congregation.
