I'm puzzled by the drift by BMA type of churches into Calvinism. I have no idea why it is happening.Neto wrote: I graduated from a C&MA college (St Paul Bible college, now Crown College), and one of the courses I took there used a Reformed counselling book that stated that "If you are giving counsel to an unbeliever, you cannot tell them that Christ died for them, because you don't know that." But our professor (an active C&M A minister) pointed it out on the first day of class, saying that the rest of the book had good teaching, that we just needed to be on guard against the false doctrine.
Our congregation is now planning to use SS material from David C. Cook. I wasn't sure what their theological bent was, so did a bit of research on it. Apparently they heavily back Calvinism. What to do?
I count a few people as brothers who are Calvinists. Their doctrine stands in the way of following God, though. It's no different than someone who is a Mormon. (I know some great people who are Mormons.)
