"The order, repentance first, and faith following it...You can have an intellectual assent to propositions; you can have notional faith, but you cannot have saving faith without repentance. Repentance is involved in it, and it is in a sense because you repent that you believe."
D.M. Lloyd-Jones from "The Puritans" page 182.
Honestly though, I intended only to list both, and didn't really think of the order because one is the flip-side of the other. Also, good theologians reverse the order, depending on what point they are trying to make.
No. I'm glad you put that up. That is a lot like what John R. Rice said in his discussion of hyper-Calvinism. He said he was a Calvinist and then went on to discredit 4 out of the 5 points. What I mean by "moderate" is someone like Martyn Lloyd-Jones or Charles Spurgeon who are full 5 pointers but have evangelism, warm preaching of repentance, and experiential living of the Christian life as their main priority rather than the theological debate around things like soteriology. Both of these guys were quite precise in their theology yet Lloyd-Jones was a fan of methodism and Richard Baxter and Charles Spurgeon used to have his old sermons reprinted in Sword of The Lord, the fundamentalist newspaper, which I think was started by John R. Rice. There are, in my opinion, some modern Calvinists who seem to have as their main goal in life a mission to gleefully tell people that a whole bunch of the human race was created by God in order to burn in hell - and then, because they are good at debate they humiliate the upset and shocked Christians who oppose them. I want nothing to do with that.
