Do you have Calvin Derangement Syndrome?

Body

“Does your blood pressure go up when you see ads for the hit series, The Chosen? Do you have strong urges to tear up copies of the Westminster Confession? Do pictures of John Calvin send you over the edge? Do you have an impulse to ransack a garden of TULIPs when you see them? If so, you might have CDS.” - Robin Schumacher

Thoughts about “A Statement of the Traditional Southern Baptist Understanding of God’s Plan of Salvation.”

Body

A classical Arminian would never deny that Adam’s sin resulted in the incapacitation of any person’s free will. Classical Arminianism (as I have demonstrated in Arminian Theology: Myths and Realities) strongly affirms the bondage of the will to sin before and apart from prevenient grace’s liberating work. Now, perhaps this is the point of the statement’s mention of “the Holy Spirit’s drawing through the Gospel.” But that, too, can be interpreted in a semi-Pelagian way.
