    Brother Steaver,


    The fact that I have never meant one who was born believing the doctrines of grace that you label as "Calvinism", but rather learn it through the scripture perhaps years after they are first converted, that alone actually attests to it being doctrinally correct. We know from scripture man is born sinful, thus it would only be natural that the vast majority of Christians upon their conversion would initially accept the doctrines of Arminianism of free will, gospel regeneration, and a universal atonement until if it be God's will they grow in grace from being babes to being able to take into meat. Scripture is clear we are only babes when we are born again, thus it only makes sense that many of the doctrines one believes in upon first being converted may be erroneous as was the case with many of those in the church of Corinth. "I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able" (1 Corinthians 3:2) After we mature babes by the Holy Spirit's power we can believe the five points of grace (the meat).(1 Corinthians 3:2)


    God bless,

    Brother Joe

    Hi Brother Robust

    It is common for many Primitive Baptists (including myself) and Particular Baptists to reject the label of Calvinist.. See my post 120 to Brother Steaver for the logic why.

    Give us a break your holiness. Lol. I don't ever recall you scolding your fellow Calvinist friends on abbreviating the glorious doctrines of grace. Does DoG look familiar? Or maybe you don't think they are glorious....

    Most of what we label as being arminian are not really that, but more akin to 4 pointers of free will, and so most would have eternal security!
