Puritan Board Freshman
I took my kids to a homeschool coop yesterday which is held at the largest church in town. It just so happens to be a Christian Church (CoC) a part of the restoration movement. I picked up a magazine and their was a Q&A article asking whether a CoC could partner in ministry with a Calvinist. The basic answer given was no because Calvinist believe in a satanic doctrine (his words not mine) from man. He sited Zwingli as one of the reformers that propagated a false view on baptism, and then touched on the errors of TULIP. Many of the authors arguments were a gross misrepresentation on the doctrines of grace. I felt compelled to write in the margins and highlight these errors and sited scripture. My hope is that if anyone did pick up and read this article at least it might make the reader stop and think and maybe even investigate in-depth a little more. My brother-in-law by marriage is very involved in CoC, and we've touched on theology a few times. So I know a little about it, but I couple of questions for the board.
1. Have you ever found yourself in a similar circumstance, and what is the appropriate method of response? This would go for any hetrodoxical and heretical groups.
2. What are some evangelism resources that are out there that directly confront the CoC? Are there books, tracts, etc.? I know that I'm going to engage members of the CoC because I'm in a rural area and this church seems to dominate the town.
3. I found this on the board hetrodoxogical which was helpful. https://www.puritanboard.com/threads/what-is-the-church-of-Christ-coc.26283/
