Both Thomism and Calvinism talk about predestination—but they mean very different things. We break down the Catholic (Thomistic) view vs. the Calvinist model, focusing on grace, free will, and God’s sovereignty in salvation. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 05:17 – How can I rectify the evil caused by free will and the love of God? 22:42 – How did Protestants come up with the concept of the Rapture? How can I combat this? 32:52 – Can you explain the difference between Thomistic predestination and the Calvinist view? 50:07 – Why does the Bible use the translation “the Jews” instead of “Jewish Authority”?

What's “Reformed” theology today? Greg Smith, a former Reformed pastor, unravels the tweed-coated posturing of a brand that claims intellectual edge but feels like evangelicalism with elbow patches. From preaching TULIP to questioning its cracks, he exposes a vague identity coasting on buzzwords. Catholicism's 2,000-year depth—think Aquinas, cathedrals, Chesterton—makes Reformed flexing look silly. Join Greg's journey from Calvinism to Rome, and ask: Is Reformed just a brand for smarter but generic evangelicals? Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

The primary focus of this podcast episode is the significance of evangelism within the Christian faith, a topic that we explore through a series of thought-provoking questions and discussions. We delve into the essential role that evangelism plays in fulfilling the church's mission, emphasizing that it is not merely an option but a divine mandate. Throughout our discourse, we underscore the necessity of understanding the nature of sin and righteousness to effectively communicate the gospel message. Additionally, we examine various approaches to evangelism, highlighting the importance of both confrontational and conversational methods in reaching diverse audiences. Ultimately, our aim is to encourage believers to embody their faith actively, thus becoming vessels for sharing the transformative message of Christ.Takeaways: The essence of evangelism lies in its fundamental role as the mission of the church, as articulated in Matthew 28:19-20, which commands believers to go forth and make disciples. We must recognize that effective evangelism requires both a confrontational and conversational approach, as each situation presents unique challenges that necessitate discernment and sensitivity. It is imperative that we distinguish between living a holy life as a reflection of faith and the notion that mere lifestyle evangelism suffices for sharing the gospel; verbal proclamation is essential. The concept of double predestination is often misunderstood; true Calvinism emphasizes God's sovereign choice in salvation, without equating it to fatalism or the Islamic view of predestination.

Is Calvinism biblical? Many Christians think so, but how do the 'doctrines of grace' stand up to the scrutiny of scripture? Nathan Pearl continues teaching through the book of Ephesians.
In this episode of GraceNotes from no. 87 "Arminianism and the Gospel of Grace," we dive into the theology of Arminianism and its views on the gospel of grace. Named after Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius, Arminianism challenges the strong determinism of Calvinism, particularly in its views on salvation, free will, and God's grace. We'll explore the historical roots of Arminianism, from Arminius' objections to John Calvin's doctrines to the formalization of Arminian theology in the early 17th century. Through this study, we'll unpack key points of disagreement between Arminianism and Calvinism, such as the nature of election, the concept of prevenient grace, and the question of whether salvation can be lost. While Arminianism emphasizes human free will and the ability to choose salvation, it also presents challenges to the gospel of grace, particularly when it comes to assurance of salvation and the idea of works in maintaining salvation. How do Arminians reconcile their belief that salvation can be lost with the Bible's teaching on God's unconditional grace? We'll also look at how Arminianism compares to biblical teachings on eternal security, examining the struggles many believers face with assurance of salvation when their security is tied to human effort rather than God's grace. This episode seeks to bring clarity to these complex theological systems and highlight the importance of understanding the full gospel of grace. Whether you're familiar with the terms TULIP, prevenient grace, or the history of Arminianism, this episode will equip you to better understand both Arminian and Calvinist views and how they relate to the truth of the gospel. Join us as we unpack the core of the gospel message—salvation by grace alone, through faith alone—and why it's essential for believers to rest in the assurance of eternal security.
Based on the work of 16th-century theologian John Calvin, Calvinism often centers on the identity and implications of "the elect" as noted in Scripture. Some distinctions held by "Neo-Calvinists" can inadvertently confuse or divide--so what are followers of Christ to do?

Gary has been around long enough that what he has written 30 years ago is now current again. Christian Reconstructionism was a movement that bothered a lot of people in the 1980s and 90s and today the boogeyman is Christian Nationalism. The arguments against both are nearly the same, even though Reconstruction and Nationalism aren't the same. What they actually have in common is bad and unbiblical critiques by authors who should know better.

Send us a textThe doctrine of atonement stands as the most divisive battlefield in Christian theology, yet many believers struggle to articulate what Christ's sacrifice actually accomplished. This thought-provoking conversation explores the profound question at the heart of salvation: For whom did Jesus die?Breaking down the word itself reveals its true meaning – "at-one-ment" with God. But how does Christ's blood sacrifice reconcile sinners to a holy God? Does His death make salvation merely possible for everyone, or does it actually secure salvation for specific people? The answer divides Christianity into two theological camps: Arminianism and Calvinism.Through an engaging panel discussion, we unpack the essential elements of Christ's atonement – substitution, satisfaction, reconciliation, and forgiveness. We explore why the Old Testament sacrificial system could only temporarily cover sin while Christ's sacrifice permanently removes it. As one participant aptly notes, "Animal sacrifices couldn't actually remove sin permanently; it was just a temporary covering, a shadow pointing to the ultimate atonement which would come in Christ."This conversation challenges common misconceptions about atonement while revealing its centrality to the gospel message. You'll gain clarity on terms like "limited atonement" and "particular redemption" while understanding why these concepts matter deeply to your faith journey. Whether you're a theological novice or seasoned believer, this exploration of Christ's atoning work will deepen your appreciation for what happened at Calvary.Ready to move beyond surface-level Christianity?

In this session, Dr. Ruben Rosario Rodriguez provides an overview of Reformed Christology, focusing on the theological contributions of two key 20th century Reformed theologians: Karl Barth and Jürgen Moltmann. He begins by introducing the Reformed tradition's historical roots in 16th century Calvinism and its emphasis on social responsibility. It then examines Barth's Christocentric theology, which emphasizes God's transcendence and self-revelation in Christ as the only source of knowledge about God. Barth rejected liberal Protestantism's subjective approach and insisted on Christ as the center of all theology. He then transitions to Moltmann, whose theology developed in the shadow of the Holocaust. Moltmann rejected the doctrine of divine impassibility, arguing that God suffers with humanity, particularly through Christ on the cross. His Trinitarian theology emphasizes God as a community of equals and has political implications, including the church's responsibility to critique society and work toward justice. Both theologians maintain that Christ's suffering reveals God's solidarity with the oppressed and offers hope for transformation.

Pastor Mike Neglia invited me to The Expositor's Collective to discuss my recently published book:Christ's Scope and Scepter: His Word, His WorldWith his permission, I've slightly edited it and chopped it up in a good way...not like the way the Quadriga chops up the Word of God.Speaking of chopping things up that shouldn't be chopped up, we discuss the continuity between a Christocentric interpretation of the Word and a Christocentric interpretation of the world. For me that has taken me on an adventure in Christian Education, Spanish lay preaching in church, and healthcare chaplaincy. This conversation scratches the surface on issues covered more in depth in my book. Don't just take up and listen for my spicy, confessional take on the pre-critical Quadriga. Stay for the encouragement to join the ranks of lay ministers in church and chaplains in healthcare. The harvest is ripe and the Christocentric laborers are few!

The post What is Reformed Theology? – Historical Background to the 5 Points of Calvinism appeared first on Bear Creek Church.
The Philippines is the most Roman Catholic country in the world. It is no wonder that it is a starting place for most who become Protestant Evangelical Christians. Erwin Armador, pastor of GFC Nuvali Church in the Philippines journeyed from his Catholic background into Pentecostal Protestantism finding Jesus as his Savior along the way. But ultimately, his Arminian theology left him with questions and doubts. He then adopted Calvinism, but found that it lacked the joy he desired and also left him with theological questions about the character of God. He was a committed Calvinist until he encountered another option, Free Grace theology. With a new enthusiasm and freedom, he received theological training at Grace School of Theology (Grace Asia in the Philippines) earning his DMin degree. He now pastors a vibrant church committed to intentionally making disciples. Pastor Erwin is committed to sharing the gospel of grace with his nation and recently spoke at the Free Grace Alliance regional conference there. Charlie sat with him to record his story, which should encourage everyone to appreciate the free grace of God in the biblical gospel. See how the message of God's grace has changed his life and shaped his ministry. You will see God has used and will continue to use this man as a trophy of grace in the Philippines and beyond. #GCFNuvali#FreeGracePhilippines#CalvinismPhilippines#SimplybyGrace#youtube.com?@gracelifeorg
On todays show James, Chris, Jimmy, and Glenn talk about the Book of James, focusing on its practical and spiritual aspects. Key points included the importance of faith accompanied by deeds, the role of the Holy Spirit in conversion, and the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism on predestination. The conversation highlighted James's emphasis on treating the poor with respect and the need for a changed heart to produce fruit of the Spirit. The group also explored the historical context of Martin Luther's critique of James, emphasizing that faith alone justifies, but works are evidence of true faith. The discussion emphasized the importance of both academic knowledge and practical application for pastors. Speaker 2 stressed that preachers need to understand complex theological concepts to address challenges from laypeople and to effectively communicate spiritual truths. They also highlighted the need for pastors to model their faith and provide practical guidance. The conversation touched on historical figures like Martin Luther and Calvin, and the significance of understanding theological contexts. Additionally, the speakers discussed the relevance of the Apostolic Fathers' Greek text and English translation. Don't miss the episode!
Madel knew the Roman Catholic theology she was raised with. When she felt it unfulfilling, she migrated to Protestant Evangelicalism where Calvinism was the default view. That is all she knew, but it left her with questions and feeling a bit uncomfortable. Deeply involved in ministry as a Bible study leader, she found herself becoming a "fruit detector" wondering if those in her group were showing enough fruit and good works to prove they were indeed true believers. She had heard of the Free Grace view, but believed the reports that it was "easy-believism." Madel concluded the best way to know the truth about the Free Grace view was to study it, so she enrolled in Grace School of Theology (Grace Asia in the Philippines). In her first classes, she heard that that the gospel of God's free grace meant that she could know for certain she was saved. She learned that Jesus Christ died for all and offers all who believe in Him eternal life that cannot be earned or lost. When this truth dawned on her, Madel had a burden of doubt lifted and left her with a joyful heart. She now shares that message in ministry including writing curricula. Completing her master's degree at GSOT, she is now working on her ThD at another seminary. Charlie spoke at a Free Grace Alliance regional meeting at her church, Grace Victory Church in the Philippines, which Madel helped organize and he was able to record her testimony. Be sure to share Madel's exciting story with those who need the freedom that grace, free grace, brings. #GraceforPhilippines #AssuranceofSalvation #SimplybyGrace#youtube.com/@gracelifeorg

Wendell Kimbrough, singer, songwriter, worship leader and friend, is here to teach us what the Psalms are really about. Christians have wrestled with this collection of poems and prayers throughout the ages. How can we find meaning in them today? Wendell went from arguing about Calvinism as a teen to leading Anglican worship services, where he learned to embrace the emotional side of spirituality. We discuss how psalms can help us untangle perfectionism, how to process psalms that call for violence, how to bring our whole selves to God, and why we should all write our own psalms.
