”Conservatives- Theology dictates morality/Liberals- morality dictates Theology” Justified Version

 

Where does reform come into Play?

Regarding what?

 

Being Reformed usually refers to your system of theology and your views on prophecy.

You can have Reformed theology and be a part of any of the three camps. It really would be impossible to say that being reformed would implicate one as conservative/liberal or a fundi.

I would be interested in an example of how a liberal could be reformed. As a rule, liberals exalt man's will, intellect, and feelings while God's sovereignty is central to reformed theology. I can't think of an instance where someone could not be sola scriptura and still be reformed.

 

Scott, as bizarre as it sounds, many presbyterians are very liberal and they wouldn't deny the sovereignty of God. They define it in a liberal way though.

For example:
God is sovereign and he created me. I am gay. I cannot change what has been determined. God created me gay. This must be okay.

Another example would be a denial of miracles and other Christian beliefs.

Another example might be if reformed theology becomes the latest rage in the CBF (could you be more apostate?).

If you push sovereignty as far as they do, you have to come to their conclusion.

I am pro-sovereignty and abhor their beliefs.

 

Sorry, that last post was worded in the wrong order.

When I said, "If you push sovereignty as far as they do, you have to come to their conclusion.", I was speaking in general of liberalistic pro-sovereignty people. As far as I know, the CBF is only talking about calvinism.
