Arminian CE vs. Calvinist CE (OT Pattern) — [4 of 4]

  Four, Arminian Corporate Election (CE) falls short in its understanding of the connection between Old Testament Israel and New Testament Israel, which results in an erroneous position on CE.

However, it can be argued that CE is fundamentally a Calvinist position on the doctrine of election — which I shall do in this study.   Central debate: Is election merely one of union and identification? Or is […]
