Challenging Caricatures of Calvinism

Dr. Thomas Ascol of Founder Ministries writes,” I hope I live long enough to see the day when the common caricatures of the doctrines of sovereign grace have been so widely exposed that any self-respecting preacher will be ashamed to keep serving them up as if they were irrefutable critiques of what John Broadus called “that exalted system of Pauline truth which is technically called Calvinism.”  On todays program, Mike examines the gross misrepresentation what he calls “the true exposition of Scripture.”

Saved or Self Deceived?

How can so many who claim to be Christians, not have a proper, scriptural understanding of salvation? As Dr. John MacArthur states in the teaching series Salvation Survey: Saved or Self Deceived?, “I am convinced that in the name of Christianity there are many places that call themselves churches and they’re not churches. And they have men leading them who call themselves pastors and they’re not pastors.” On this program, Mike asks the question are many saved or deceived? 

Whats your standard for doctrine?

Shouldn’t the Word of God be the standard for all life and godliness ( 1 Peter 1:3) In this program, Mike examines how Christians must judge all things through the lens, the standard , of Scripture. Also, a follow-up on the Feb. 26th program on election, including listener emails.

 

Discussing the Doctrine of Election

Mike is joined by GMI marketing associate Renea Edwards and they have an impromptu discussion on the subject of election. Does God chose to save some and not others? Do people choose to be saved?  What does the Word of God have to say about the subject and is the Bible our standard for judging this subject and others?
