Sproul converted to Reformed/Calvinistic Theology in seminary, far before he had the exegetical and theological tools and years of study to necessary to produce such certainty, yet he became absolutely convinced of its system in this brief period. I would say that is goofy.
Alex, Taking a few steps with your statement those in the pew with little or no formal theological training ought not assert themselves as convinced of dispensationalism. Surely this is not your intent? And yet with a +/- 100-1 pastors to congregation we call the 99 to take such bold stance. Surely there are better arguments than this with which to debate the theology of Dr. Sproul.
I don’t disagree with your point which was my point, so it remains. I was merely following Sproul’s line of “goofy” argumentation. However, one should not assume to qualify congregational members as untrained. Some may be and some may not be but some ministries provide sufficient training over long periods to bring its members to a place of spiritual and theological adulthood putting them, indeed, at a place where such distinct convictions may be formed.
