Well I Am an Independent Baptist also and I accept 0 points of the Tulip. How many do you?

I was trying to see what/how many denominations are Calvinistic. (And I do understand that just because one person is does not make the whole denomination Calvinist.)

All five!

I'm just curious, but do you accept Total Depravity? I recall in my IFB days that seemed to be universally accepted. Another question would be regarding perseverance - do you believe the true saints of God will be empowered by God to remain faithful to the end, or do you believe that a true Christian can fall away?

Hello all!

I was reared in a nominally SBC church where I was baptized, married, and ordained to the Gospel ministry. We had a BJU pastor. I said all of that for context and to let everyone here know that I have nothing to hide.

I am a "5 point Calvinist" who has a heart for the lost. I use to be a Bus Pastor in my home church. I still attend an SBC church. I am in the process of having a work on John A. Broadus published by B & H Academic. I am still a member of an SBC church b/c I want and think that it is worth saving and that what use to be remnants of the "Doctrines of Grace" are still here and are well and growing. I am a consenter to the "Founder's movement" and am a "Fullerite," or a Calvinist who has a "warm heart for the lost and evangelism."

"'Nuff said!"

sdg!

PS My friend and colleague Dr. Timothy George, Dean at Beeson Divinity School, has a new take on the Tulip acrostic. I think all who visit this part of the FFF would like to read it. So here tiz:

If it walks like a duck; quacks like a duck; has feathers, feet, and a bill like a duck, you can call it anything you want to, but it is still a duck.

Is a person who signs the ECT and says that Romanist, who believe in salvation by keeping the seven sacraments and deny faith alone, a true believer?
