Chip, I've been to the church in LWR and heard you preach more than a handful of times. When the conclusions of calvinism are applied in context of heart mind body and soul, with the greatest commandments that the laws and prophets hang on, this systematic fails miserably and is highly destructive. In the well to do world, which LWR is a small microcosm, reformed theology has had a foothold due to the "well to do" adherents propagating and controlling managing much of the schooling/commentaries/ radio/publications of the past handful of decades.

I know you're a gifted teacher and communicator, yet, I pray you deeply consider the ramifications of where conclusions Heiser requires a choice as does work to build in roads in your community and to think you'd consider and live by the conclusions of this reformed / calvinistic systematic in your heart mind body soul, would be very very surprising to hear.

Outside of the textbooks and classroom, application and conclusions matter. Begin with the end in mind. The reformed/calvinistic systematic reflects nothing of the person and being of Jesus Christ.

QUESTION: This subject has come a lot recently with me so, I've been hearing various takes on it, ranging from John Piper to Leighton Flowers, James White to Mike Winger, even a little from Frank Turek ...all very reasonable guys. I don't think it'll get figured out on this side of glory, and honestly I don't think it matters. But to me...what truly interests are the implications of each belief. Surely it affects our approach in several areas; evangelism, missions, sanctification, our response to sin in our lives, to name a few. I'm sure you can think of a few others. I am yet to hear much related to this; Do you care to comment Dr. Bennett? This is a great class, by the way!

Is Hypothetical Universalism the same as or similar to Molinism?

[raysimonds]

I appreciate your approach to this topic and graciousness towards the different positions. I have found that almost everyone that speaks to these topics are very biased.

[Ashwin]

The description of hypothetical universalism seems to be wrong. The intent is to save ALL, but the aplication is to those chosen from the foundation of the earth. It's not based on foreknowledge.

As as result, he ends up misrepresenting Arminianism as it talks about Gods foreknowledge and a conditional election (i.e the elect are those whose faith God foresees, i.e it's by foreknowledge of faith).
Perhaps it would be good to cite sources so that people can check the information.

[cecilspurlockjr.]

This view is a distortion of the gospel of CHRIST making it different, another gospel . The gospel of CHRIST is available for ALL, as the Bible plainly says over n over when it speaks of the atonement of CHRIST . Calvinism teaches that this is not true, that the gospel isn't available to all, plainly a contradiction of scripture .

[mrnoedahl]

What do you mean God decreed?
Mark 16:16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
This is what God said. Stop using that foolish theological terminology to confuse people.
