Dear Sola Scriptura

In the following article on your website you state: “My primary problem with Calvinism and all other structures and belief systems superimposed on the Bible, such as hyperdispensationalism, covenant theology and pre/post-tribulation rapture, is that we tend to force every other scripture we find into the mold of those manmade paradigms”

Allll righty then…I understand your article and agree with you regarding Calvinism. :thumbsup: Can you however please explain to me what you mean in the sentence by “hyperdispensationalism”…and “pre/post-tribulation rapture”. I want you to please explain to me what you mean by hyperdispensationalism (because I’ve read so many different views on this) and then please explain your views on “pre/post-tribulation rapture”? :nod:

Hi Sola Scriptura

Thanks for the valuable info. I appreciate it.

Not surprisingly, many of the new bible versions delete the word repent in key, select places because the so-called “critical Greek text” deleted it. Repentance is an absolutely critical concept for unbelievers, yet on two occasions the new versions say that Jesus didn’t come to call the righteous but sinners, while the KJV states that he called sinners “to repentance.” The obvious difference is that Jesus has no interest in chilling out with sinners around a campfire. As Paul said, He wants all men everywhere to repent. Here is a short article I wrote on it(the nkjv btw deletes repentance more that 3o times and the blood more than 10):

I’ll admit, I had “trouble wrapping my head around this”… almost comical, I suppose, when you titled it, “The Battle for the Mind”! :laugh: Maybe I’m just too conservative to understand all this trance-like stuff.

Deborah, your comment to John about how Calvinists “take over” already established churches resonates with me… perhaps we’ve been reading the same or similar sites lately. I’m going to hit you on email as I’m trying to understand something and I’m not yet ready to post it here for all to see.

Congrats on the bigger server to host so more can see & read here!

Thank you John!

You said “am surprised at how wide spread it is becoming, even infiltrating some conservative Baptist churches I know”

Yes this is a very big problem, it is a known fact that Calvinists go out of their way to infiltrate baptist churches by using this method:

Find an established well run church.
Become a pastor (without letting anyone know they are Calvinist).
Get on the board.
Invite more Calvinist pastors to attended.
Get them on the board.
By the time the other pastors know what’s happening they are kicked off the board by majority vote.
Take over complete. Hijacked an already well run, fully established church that they had no hand in creating.

You can’t even believe Independent baptist churches anymore…they say they are independent but MANY have been overtaken and are now Calvinist. Gotta test them all.

I came across this site a couple of months ago when I was looking for articles on Reformed theology (ie., Calvinism). I am running across more and more people who are caught up in this scheme of the enemy. I live in the southern United States (Alabama) and am surprised at how wide spread it is becoming, even infiltrating some conservative Baptist churches I know. Shocking. The link between Calvinism and mysticism you present in this article is outstanding. Keep up the good work, and don’t be discouraged by the nay sayers! Your friend in Christ, John
