What Is A Biblicist?

[Plain Old Bill]

I have never seen anybody at church carrying a leatherbound copy of Calvins writings or Arminius writings under thier arm to church.I am sure Calvin and Arminius were both good Godly men and they both gave us a lot to think about, but thier writing is NOT INSPIRED. We need to pick the roses and leave the thorns. The B-I-B-L-E yes that's the book for me.
Anybody can be a Calvinist/Baptist Christian that is thier choice and God bless em. Anybody can be an Arminean/Baptist/Methodist/whatever/Christian and that is fine too. I am a Christian/Biblicist/Baptist and that suits me fine. If someone has a problem with that it is thier problem not mine.

Biblicist is much more than just Calvinism and Arminianism, I agree with pastor Larry, it is pretty meaningless no matter who uses it. Namely so because so many would call themselves a biblicist. This has been a really good discussion. Seems like everyone has kept a good spirit even though we don't all agree.

Well no meannest meant here but I disagree with both you and Pastor Larry. What you think is what you think and that is okay. The typical Biblicist will disagree with you both. The difference is while we would see your point you would deny ours.I don't mind that either since I am not under your tutelage.Outside of this particular issue you are probably fine fellows.

Contrary to the idea that there are no positions between Calvinism and Arminianism, some of them even have names (though seldom used and unknown to most). Here is a thread with some definitions of mediating positions and definitions within the positions.

I've heard it used of non-sola Scripturists to describe sola Scripturists - anyone else come across this usage?
