Good read. Thanks for posting.
Salvation is through faith from Jesus alone but we work with Him because we have to obey Him when He tells us to do something. So it is synergy right there. Paul tells us to work our salvation out with fear and trembling.
I really expect to be flamed but sorry am not going to change that.
I am rejecting synergism.
I base my beliefs in Sola Scriptura.
I am not a Calvinist.
I am a Christian, whose doctrine is the bible. (not the institutes, or any other writings not in the bible)
I believe in the priesthood of the believer.
Just as the Catholic church has in prior years, added in “tradition” so has modern Reformation added Calvinism.
God is not limited by time, therefore he knows his before they choose - therefore the “issue” of free will vs election is no issue at all to a God that created time. Only to those of us who believe God so small as to exist within the time and space He created Himself.
I think I will order a copy of Boice's book "Whatever Happened to The Gospel of Grace?: Rediscovering the Doctrines That Shook the World".
