Featured Differences?

They all have monergism in common. They'll all admit to that.

Unlike the nonCal/Arminian/freewiller/antiCal who who will not admit to having synergism in common with one another.

Synergism: the doctrine that the human will cooperates with the Holy Ghost in the work of regeneration.

Monergism: the doctrine that the Holy Ghost acts independently of the human will in the work of regeneration.

 

Wrong. Only the PB / hyper cal believes in true monergism.

 

I believe they are all one in the same in regards to soteriology.

 

Wow, tell that to these guys:

You don't know what you're talking about. Or have a real short memory:

> 64% polled claimed Monergism; if memory serves me right you wouldn't vote.....

 

I have no problem telling it to them since they are like the majority of those who claim to be monergists without understanding the scope and ramifications of what that really means. Anyone adhering to sola fide cannot be a monergist. Thank you for further proving my point.

 

There are so many differences between Calvinist as whole. All of them believe at least a portion of the doctrines of grace. There are hyper Calvinist. Preterist Calvinist. and 1,2,3,4,and 5 point Calvinist and variations between all of those. There are also Catholic Calvinist, Lutheran Calvinist, and presbyterian Calvinist. Hardly any of them like the name "Calvinist" most prefer "reformed" A Calvinist is in fact a reformed Catholic simply because this is what the reformers originaly wanted to reform.

The Greek "dia pistewv Ihsou Xristou"
Dia:
through
of place
with
in
of time
throughout
during
of means
by
by the means of
through
the ground or reason by which something is or is not done
by reason of
on account of
because of for this reason
therefore
on this account

So by means of Pistis:

conviction of the truth of anything, belief; in the NT of a conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervour born of faith and joined with it
relating to God
the conviction that God exists and is the creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Christ
relating to Christ
a strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God
the religious beliefs of Christians
belief with the predominate idea of trust (or confidence) whether in God or in Christ, springing from faith in the same
fidelity, faithfulness
the character of one who can be relied on

We now have by means of belief (Faith) or conviction in of Iesous Jesus or Joshua as the Hebrew would be, Christos Christ,

Gal. 2:16 "Faith of Christ" is redendered from the Greek, through conviction or belief that Jesus Christ is the Messiah through whom we obtain eternal life. The Textus Receptus bears it out, that is what the KJV is translated from.

 

Sounds similiar to the bible stating that they were to be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of their sins, but the Greek text brings outn the fact that they were baptized into the name of the One who was saving them, that he was how they got saved, NOT that water baptism saved us, but that act of placing faith in the One in whose name was being baptized in/with!
