Featured Looking for insight on - What is Reformed Theology? by R.C. Sproul

Most, if not all Calvinists believe presalvation faith is a gift of God instilled by irresistible grace, but that of course has been shown to be a mistaken view. It is God who credits our presalvation faith, as worthless as a filthy rag, as righteousness, so the "gift" is turning our sows ear faith into a silk purse. No Calvinist believes that biblical truth, however.

 

Augustine was the first to deviate from scripture on almost every major point of doctrine because he was a thinker instead of a student of scripture.

Calvin let Augustine think for him much of the time. And Augustine had no such "biblical wealth of knowledge". Both should have been scourged for leading countless sheeple into major error.

I confess that I am not as familiar as others are with the works of these men.

 

"On almost every major point of doctrine" ? So please inform us how he was "off" on grace for starters.

You are incredibly uninformed.

Yep,you know next to nothing of the works of Augustine, Calvin, Edwards and Charles Hodge. But you still want to pontificate about how wrong they were! What gall you have.

 

:laugh:ya think!!!
