I had a similiar experience. I was attending a Independent Baptist Church when I became aware of the DoG. I talked to the pastor about it and he had a violent reaction and told me I would not be allowed to teach in his church. I responded by giving him a list of bible verses proving Total Depravity and Election. This only culminated in him doing a 6-week series on why Calvinism is a heresy and a black eye to God's name. So I gave up and my wife and I left.

People cannot usually be convinced of your point of view due to years of hearing about the evils of Calvinism. You might just have to shake the dust off your heals and go elsewhere.

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely?
