I was just wondering is there any semi-calvinists on this board?

You mean like Norman Geslerr, who states that he is a moderate one, but denies most of the 5 points of Grace?
I guess that is up to the individual but we have semi palagianism so I was curious about semi calvinism
Is that like being semi-pregnant?
Is that like being semi-pregnant?
Or semi-pelagian
Would tat bea "moderate" calvnist?
Semi-Pelagianism = Growing in faith is the work of God, while the beginning of faith is an act of the mortal free will, with grace supervening only later.
Full-Pelagianism = The mortal will is capable of choosing good or evil without special divine aid.
Full-Pelagianism = I did it all on my own.
Semi-Pelagianism = God helped me do it.
Not sure what that is about but I am asking about semi calvinism
I am showing that the terms are not comparable.

Oh...........Uh I missed that could you clarify?
I believe anyone who doesn't hold to all 5 points of Calvinism are semi Calvinist. Wouldn't you?

Then I'll call you on that the next time you use the term.

I think it is foolish and anyone who uses semi palagianism must also accept semi calvinism. To not do is us pure arrogance. To them palagianism is a pejorative. It is why they use it so much so in order to shut down any debate they also use semi palagianism working to tie people who disagree with them to one or the other. It is very similar to the far left trying to tie trump to Hitler.
Seems to me semi-calvinist would be appropriate.

The "Many Cal Universe". Love it! Like a purity test.
Yea you know some a particular race will call someone else an oreo if they do not act like them or another race will call some apples.
I still can't telling them the truth.

That is one of the reasons I try not to use the word "Calvinist." Simply because it engenders so much strife. Not to mention false definitions of Particular Redemption.
Also I disagree with a lot of what is found in "The Institutes." His polity, His baptism. His involvement in civil matters.
So rather than emphasizing Calvin, which includes so much I disagree with, I emphasize the historic Baptist doctrine of Particular Redemption, and the Soteriology of the canons of the synod of Dort.
