Evangelical Synergism v. Roman Catholicism

How closely related are the soteriologies of evangelical synergism and Roman Catholicism? Here is a clip from James White's The Dividing Line where he plays and comments on statements from William Lane Craig that are troubling close to an RC position.

I always enjoy these apologist (William lain Craig) until they mention the reformed faith.

Here is another video where Bruce Ware points out that a libertarian free will position actually does damage to the doctrine of inerrancy.

LOL

You're not even safe in your own Sunday school class room with James White on the loose. He's like Chuck Norris!

Can't wait...

to see this when I get home. Can't get it here.

I remember when I first listened to the White Horse Inn, and they compared Calvary Chapel and how close it is to Rome, which is Ironic, because, Calvary Chapel is so Anti-Rome...

Bottom line, all roads lead to Rome, the minute you stray from Biblical Christianity which clearly teaches the doctrine of grace.

Of course, I also think, Craig's theolgy (as well as Calvary Chapels') effects the Doctrine of God as well.

From what I remember, Molinism (which is the position Craig takes) is an acceptable position in Roman Catholicism, so, I can see how Craig would sound Roman.
