Are you a Calvinist or Arminian?

[jw]

Well, which is it?

 

[webdog]

I voted neither. See my thread on the Free Grace position for more clarity why.

 

[EdSutton]

I really wanted to vote for 'I like traffic lights', because that makes far nore sense than attempting to box God and man into two, almost equally falacious, 'theological systems'. Especially, when there is no material difference between the two, in the final analysis!


I, too, am part of the so-called 'Free Grace' position, the name of which is, by definition, redundant.

I'm a biblical Christian. So I voted 'neither.'

 

[StefanM]

I had to vote neither because I am not a full Arminian, but I am not a Calvinist either. I am more Arminian than Calvinist, though.

I'm either a 3-point Arminian or a 2-point Calvinist. Take your pick.

I voted neither as I am a "Rician", if I am anything man-made.

John R. Rice said at one time, something to the effect of "Why be a Calvinist or an Arminian? Why not be a Biblicist?" That statement has stuck with me through the years.

Where Calvinism agrees with the Bible I am on board and where Amininism agrees with the Bible I am on board.

How come if everybody picked "neither" it is only 50% on the poll??? I picked neither.

I voted neither because I believe the Bible supports elements of both theological positions. In my approach towards evangelism I am much more Armenian.

 

[Petrel]

Picked "neither" as well. I really don't like traffic lights. I think they're a necessary evil.

5 Point Calvinist

 

[whatever]

I'm a biblical Christian. So I voted 'Calvinist'.

Amen to "Biblicism"! So I chose "Calvinist."

 

[donnA]

going with scripture, calvinist.

 

[bjonson]

I believe in following the scriptures, so I voted "Calvinist" because that position best represents biblical soteriology.

I prefer to call it "fundamental" or "reformed" since I do not follow John Calvin; I follow the scriptures. But, the moniker stuck and it's here to stay I guess.

 

[saturneptune]

Actually, I am a Calmeanist. I chose God before the foundation of the earth.

 

[StefanM]

Yikes...can you feel the subtle barbs from our Calvinist friends?

 

[Tom Butler]

5-pointer

 

[Dr. Bob]

5 pointer, of course.

"Salvation is 100% God and 0% Bob, or it is not grace"

 

[russell55]

5 pointer, too....and biblicist.
