Puritan Board Freshman
Lack of any theological education, not merely poor grades in theological education.
No. Seminary grads were the ones surveyed.
That's why I am assuming there is a theological explanation for the apparent dilemma.
Maybe the explanantion goes something like this: "If the Gospel is explained faithfully and the one being evangelized understands the Gospel fully and totally, he has no choice but to except the free gift of salvation that God is drawing him to--it is irresistible. God does not elect men to salvation but puts the responsibility on people to communicate the Gospel effectively to stir their hearts."
