I was not referring to you or anything you've said, specifically. Yes, the WoG spoken by a Muslim can be used by the Spirit to save a man, but that is not the point of the OP.

If I step back from the American version of Christianity which is indeed difficult for me to clear my vision of, as I've been immersed in it for 35 years, I see a problem (I see many, actually). American individualism mixed with the decisionism left to us by the Second Great Awakening has us...

My assertion is that the Synergist cannot help but add works to the gospel, and we certainly have proof of that in this thread. Hopefully, now some of my Calvinist brothers can begin to see that a person's theological bent has an inescapable affect on his proclamation of the gospel.

The "good news" does not include anything other than "good news".

The gospel is news. It is not advice.

That is a huge theological mistake, which leads to all sorts of problems, yet it answers the OP, nonetheless.

Now we are getting somewhere!

It can be preached by SDAs, too; however, that doesn't answer the OP.

Thanks for the explanation.

It should.

"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions," (2 Tim. 4:3)

Is the gospel of the synergist the exact same gospel of the monergist? If not, how do they differ?

This statement is difficult for me to understand. When something is found on every page of scripture how does someone not see it?

No. Shame on God. If your view is correct, God should be on trial, not men.

NO!!!!! I don't want to pay for that!

Blacks, Italians, Mexicans. . . don't flock to the PCA, and I'm not at home in a fundy IFBC. Black churches are 99.999% black, yet no one complains that they aren't "diverse". Have you been to a PCA service? I have. It's a WASPy 75 minutes that almost no one but a blue-blood would feel...

I could have mentioned that I want Donald Trump to get that wall built, too.

There is a time and season for all things. . . However, I would fault an undercover Calvinist pastor if he were not training the men in the church in some serious theology (over a few pints, of course). The Church has been so dumbed down that we have a real crisis on our hands. Theology matters.

No further questions. The Piperesque apologies/racial reconciliation stuff is just a bit too much for me.

We need another Calvin and another Luther today, because sinful men's hearts (mine) are bent on self-justification.
