REFORMCON2016 | James White on Hyper Calvinism

[bradholbrooks]

repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ = elect

[ElenaBaumann]

I am proud that I know the true LORD GOD!

'"But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.”

Wow, I never got a B in high school either... Made plenty of C's and D's, but never any B's.

I like how the typeface for ReformCon makes it looks so intense and legit. It makes one excited for all the reformation that's going on in there.

I knew I was saved and hadn't even heard of most of the terms used to describe biblical truth. I accept the 5 points because that is consistent with what I saw in scripture.

[AnaxofRhodes]

Great stuff! Someone should send this to Dr. James White, I think he'd really benefit from what this guy has to say.

Why 10 minutes of nothing at the start? Did Ray Charles edit this?

[landonsmith]

For all you in the comments I have a question, why is it that not having the full knowledge of the gospel you have excepted is a sin that can't be saved from?? If I were to ever get married to someone (biblical example of Christ and the church) my wife may think she knows of something I did or have done but be completely wrong about that after I tell her 20 years down the line because she was mistaken or misheard and then correct herself, or she could go on forever and not ever know that what she believed about my story was wrong. She is still married to me in both cases correct???

[Wolttizm]

Listening made me so glad to be Lutheran.

[timharris]

at 29:55 he again asserts that God is in time. The other time he tried to back out with "logical order" but when he speaks from the cuff like here it is clear that he really thinks God is in time.

[jordanb.]

Such a good message! I have been guilty of pride in theology!

[generobbins]

The first whole ten minutes of nothing. YouTube must LOVE you guys.

[spit]

Did I hear that he did a hypO-Calvinism session as well?
Has that been posted?

[fernandoalarcon]

I have a question with regards to Calvinism. I understand that not all will be saved, and that God knows those that will choose him. Since God is out of time, the time we live in, this would mean he already knows what is to occur. By stating in Calvinism that Jesus died for many; the word many emphasis that those that choose him, those will be saved. Does this conclude that Jesus only died for some and not all. That is the biggest challenge I have at this time. The way I understand it is that God, sent his only begotten son, Jesus, so that no one should perish. Can someone at Apolgia please provide me some explanation on this. Thank you.

I'm a big fan of James White as a bible teacher and debater. However I found the first 3 quarters of this unfocused and muddled. It was hard to pin point what he was trying to say. For example was he claiming Jonathon Edwards had hyper-Calvinistic tendencies? Are there any popular preachers today that qualify as hyper-Calvinists?

[timharris]

At 1:12:20 "Let he..." This is another example of pseudo-intellectuals for whom learning grammar meant memorizing some rules (and then flubbing them up) rather than grasping the concepts.

[riadozee]

I was one of those who grouped all Calvinists into the hyper Calvinist box simply because I didn't know any better . I'm still not clear on everything a Calvinist such as James White believes but I do know there are many things I do agree with him on . When it comes to election and predestination I think I probably would disagree as I believe salvation is available to everyone but of Course God knows in advance who will believe and who will not .

[brucemercerblamelessshamel]

the gospel is what Christ did FOR us. the fruit of the gospel is what He does IN us. so sanctification is not the gospel but the fruit of the gospel

[crisgon]

John Piper calls himself a 7-point calvanist. He has stated that he would die for his son out of love to save him, but if God didn't predestined his son, then he is damned for all eternity. God could have created him a vessel of wrath.

[timharris]

at 1:09:20 "He does not require I to..." I'm sorry but all preachers that make this grammatical mistake -- and there are many -- should be required to step down for a year and review basic English while remaining silent.
