Church Conflict: I was called an arrogant Idiot, and to attend a Calvinist Church!

[JamesL]

In other words, let him as a Calvie, come in to a non-calvie church and force his doctrine on others in an effort to to change them. Let him cause division, confusion, and recruit the members to his side until they oust the pastor, or make it impossible for him to have a ministry there.

In whose other words, yours??
If that's what you'd have him do, then you need help.

but all I do is stay faithful to the word of God and persecution will come no question about it.

This word... it does not mean what you think it means. Someone disagreeing with you, or even calling an idiot, is not persecution. Crawling up on a self made cross and pretending you are nailed to it is not going to make a martyr.

I'm well acquainted with this method and can spot it a mile away.

You think too much and assume lots! Stating my convictions in open discussion in SS (as our church has a more discussion based format over the traditional lecture format found in most churches) is not jamming my view down anyones throat. In discussion and when asked for prayer I WILL state what I believe and why I believe it. I am in no way jamming my views down anyones throat so don't assume things!

I have witnessed similar.

What books are you reading presently? I asked you this in another thread or post and I don't believe you answered. Do you read theology? Do you judge Calvinism before you actually studied the scriptures? Most do this because they do not want their traditions challenged.

I answered somewhere else. I have read balanced books with opposing theological views. For me, the issue is settled.

You hit that one square between the eyes.
