ATTENTION! Calvinists and non-Calvinists
In response to the issues regarding Calvinism and those who are against it, we would like for everyone to know that the group’s administration DOESN’T view Calvinism, Arminianism, or Molinism as heresy, and though they are in conflict with one another, we view them as Biblically acceptable differences that varies in explaining God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility. We don’t expect everyone to agree with this but we expect everyone to respect the group’s disposition on this matter
“Well, I’m neither a Calvinist nor an Arminian”
If you believe that God is outside of time and that He knows all true propositions, in the past, the present, and the future, then you should realize that to be consistent on this “neither a Calvinist nor an Arminian” position, you should totally abstain from engaging in topics related to Ordo Salutis (Order of Salvation), libertarian free will, God’s sovereignty and providence, man’s responsibility and culpability, etc., otherwise, if you engage, then you’re affirming one or more tenets that either of the camps teaches. You might say “but I’m only affirming what the Scripture says”, well, that’s what Calvinists and Arminians would also say. Even Molinists affirms tenets in Calvinism such as “meticulous providence”, but not to the point that human “libertarian free will” is obliterated, a tenet in Arminianism
Having said this, we will allow topics (in moderation) regarding Calvinism, Arminianism, or Molinism and you can disagree with those posts as much as you like BUT we expect everyone to abide to the following rules:
– Don’t accuse the opposing camp of “heresy”
– Humor is welcome so long as it doesn’t escalate into mockery
– Laugh reacts are prohibited unless the post or the comment is intended to be humorous
A violation of the above rules would mean AUTOMATIC REMOVAL from the group WITHOUT FURTHER WARNING
