Are actual Baptists graduates of the 'holier than thou school?" Is "my view is more advanced than your view" a sign of humility or pride? We have proud proclaimers of monergism, who deny God credits our faith per Romans 4. Hardly an advanced view.I generally consider synergism to be 'entry level' for most Christians, for most of us begin as free willers. It's our 'default predisposition'. One does not have to 'advance' doctrinally to monergism in order to love the Lord and live to please Him. I've known many free willers that are perfectly happy where they're at and reaping the bennies of the kingdom.
