Calling all Calvinists- Listen Well

Calvinists and Their Response To An Unbelieving World




In the 'politically correct' world we live in today, how are Calvinists to deal with those that hold to differing views than their own? Let's listen in on James White's response.

I speak to my Calvinist Brothers and Sisters:

As always, we need to always be seeking to uphold the truth and refute error. When dealing with differing opinions it is important to keep a perspective of where you came from- if it were not for the sovereign grace of God bringing about revelation through His Word by the Holy Spirit, you would be as confused as the person you are talking to. Two passages come to mind, I pray that we consider these well and apply them to our lives.

Philippians 2:1-5 "Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not {merely} look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus," NASB

2 Peter 3:14-18 "Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard the patience of our Lord {as} salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all {his} letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as {they do} also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him {be} the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." NASB


Grace and peace.
