Union With Christ - A Critical Error In Calvinism | Part 1
Показать описание
In this video I respond to Calvinist comments as well as many prominent Calvinist figures like John Piper, John MacArthur, Steve Lawson and Jeff Durbin who all seem to communicate a somewhat inconsistent and contradictory notion, that in God's mind, the elect have always been "in Christ."
In my videos I often talk about Ephesians 1 and the significance of God’s choice of us being “in Christ" as well as the fact the we can get no "spiritual blessing" outside of Christ or before we have an organic connection to him by faith. A common Calvinist response is to suggest that God has “always seen us as being in Christ” from his “eternal perspective,” and that from our limited perspective, we come to be in Christ at a specific point in time, when we believe.
This sort of response implies that there is somehow a distinction that can be made between being in Christ “in God’s mind” or in “God’s eternal perspective” and being in Christ “actually.” In this video I want to demonstrate why I think that when the Calvinist responds by saying… “from God’s perspective we have always been in Christ” - they are essentially saying… “we have always been in Christ.” Their appeal to being in Christ ACTUALLY when we believe but always being in Christ “in God’s eternal perspective” is ultimately a distinction without any real difference.
