Being baptist gives them excuse to be petty and ungracious.
The first item, on the 15 evangelists lamenting Calvinism, received considerable discussion on Timmy Brister’s blog over the weekend:
Evangelism , Calvinism and the SBC
When I first saw this blurb, I figured it was the same tired misrepresentation of Calvinism by non-Calvinsts. I guess professing Calvinists can be just as misinformed.
Ultimately, I think it just comes down to a lack of understanding about what “Calvinism” means. When we understand truly that salvation is wholly of the Lord, then zeal in evangelism should be swift to follow.
I did not have time to more than skim the article, but when I first saw your blurb here on A La Carte I thought, It seems that in general, Calvinist or Arminian, Christians I have encountered don’t need an excuse not to evangelize because they simply don’t do it.
