Comments on: When Calvinism Wasn’t Cool http://fide-o.com/2009/03/when-calvinism-wasnt-cool/ Jason Robertson's Articles, Sermons, and Discussions Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:24:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Scott http://fide-o.com/2009/03/when-calvinism-wasnt-cool/comment-page-1/#comment-18 Scott Fri, 03 Apr 2009 06:17:57 +0000 http://fide-o.gomvc.com/?p=70#comment-18 I really believe Jason has a very legitimate concern. Almost everyone I know came to the doctrines of grace through much personal struggle, study and long hours of wrestling with certain aspects of the doctrines. It was usually a long, slow process. However, in the end we not only had a understanding enough to be able to explain we had patience enough to allow people the time they needed grasp the depths of these doctrines. However, if it becomes a fad, driven by being the popular rebellion of the moment, or pushed by the popularity of guys like Mark Driscoll then it will become a series of talking points and arguments.

I was talking to couple of people about the Times article a while back and they were shocked that such a..."backwards" philosophy could be gaining ground, even in secular eyes. I don't think that Calvinism will become popular in the States the same way streamline Evangelicalism did, but it will certainly be misunderstood by many observers and commentators.

Calvinism is a "heresy" round these parts. There is a danger with these Neo-Calvinists from what I've seen around the internet. They say some strange things sometimes. First thing new Calvinists want to do is convert everybody, but they don't understand their own theology well enough to present it well. I’m in the same boat as you guys.
