From the Arminius on Calvin thread

[Alive in Christ]

(It got locked)

Luke, you asked me...

What is the official name of your theology? I think that it is whatever THAT is that I am talking about.

Its called Christianity

Is not nameless?

We call it Christianity. The teaching of the scriptures, The Truth. The Way. Gods wisdom, etc etc.

You do not call it Calvinism, right? (Norman Geisler does, but you do not)

Correct.

I am not a Calvinist, but I agree with some of calvinists teachings. They arent wrong about everything.

You do not call it Arminianism, right?

Sometimes I do.

(Though you are really 4/5's Arminian, are you not?)

I've never tried to quantify it. I am certainly much more in line with Arminianism than calvinism, as calvinism holds to much more error.

You do not call it Amyraldianism, right?

You can bank on that! :laugh:

You do not call it Molinism, right?

Correct.

This is the part where most of the guys who think like you say something like- "I Call it THE BIBLE!" or "I am a BIBLICIST!" or "I don't follow a man!!!

I cant recall ever SCREAMING when articulating a biblical conviction, as you seem to be implying.

I am a calm, low key sort of guy.

I follow Jesus (just like the Corinthians who Paul rebuked along side those who he rebuked for saying they were of Paul and those who said they were of Apollos.)

I follow Jesus, Yes. Also God the Father and the Holy Spirit. And the scriptures.

If you are not going to respond with something akin to the above- what DO you call your theology?

The truth. The Scriptures. The council of God. Gods wisdom. The teachings of Christ. The Holy Spirits wisdom. I could go on. but you get the picture.

When was it systematized?

As the scriptures were given to us from God.

What are it's historical roots?

Well, it goes all the way back to...

In the beginning, God...

Hope that helps.
