| | | I got saved out of Calvinism (video)
I was wondering if anyone had seen this video by Dr White
Thoughts anyone?? I nearly laughed until I realized just how sad it is.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry | | The Following User Says Thank You to Joshua For This Useful Post: | |

All I can say is he was no Calvinist before. The problem is probably having a truncated understanding of what Calvinism is. His "testimony" is testimony to the fact that despite his upbringing and all his studies he didn't "get" the Reformed Faith. His implication is that Calvinists are not saved. John 3:16 doesn't teach, nor say that God loves "every single person."

There is also a video where Dr. James White is responding to Dr. David Allen's explanation of Owen's double payment argument. I would post it but I am at work and our proxy server blocks youtube

"My wife and her parents were praying for me to come out of Calvinism. Then, while sitting in his car, an overwhelming force came over him to believe in the truth".
Strange how this "overwhelming force" came over him because his wife and her parents were praying for him. Sounds like some kind of irresitable force to me!
What the worst thing was about the whole thing is how Dr Allan responded. Just sad.

Calvinism is awful.
Actually it's the white hope of the present and future.
But the humble Mr Calvin would be spinning in his grave if he knew his name was being used in this way; it can't be helped.

Since as Mr. Spurgeon famously said, "Calvinism is the gospel,
and since Calvinism is the sovereignty of God
what was this fellow saved in to?
(e.g. a works based religion of conditional assurance)

Just watched the video. I know I'm slow.
Dr. White was surprised that none of the people at the front corrected the gentlemen giving that (saved out of calvinism) testimony, asserting that they should have, at the very least, realized that calvinism is very much Christianity though differences notwithstanding.
Question:
Would we do the same with someone testifying that they were "saved out of arminianism?"
This is a little timely as I have noticed an increased arminian-bashing among some of friends, which I felt were largely uncharitable.
What say ye?

What say ye? | I agree; I don't think that the differences between Arminianism and Calvinism are so great that one can categorically state that all members of either group are 'Christian' at the expense of the other.
