There are some people, including some Christians, who believe in universal salvation. This is the belief that everyone who dies will end up in Heaven. I know one person who takes this to the extreme and includes Satan and his whole army of demons. This same person hangs everything on one verse, and that’s Colossians 1:20. […]
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. First let me say again that I am a strong proponent of Fulfillment Theology, which is a central teaching of Covenant Theology, Baptist Covenant Theology and New Covenant […]
Three, Arminian Corporate Election (CE) has the erroneous idea that Christ Himself is the group. In close association with the previous flaw (part 2), Arminian CE teaches that Jesus is essentially the group Himself—as the corporate Head of the group. But this cannot be, since the group is the Church, and Christ died for the Church and He is Head […]
Two: Arminian Corporate Election (CE) fails to factor-in the two-fold election of Christ, which disallows the idea that we can share in His election. Arminian CE describes election in a manner that only takes in one aspect of Christ’s election. While it acknowledges that Jesus was chosen to be both the Corporate Head of the Church and its Savior, it fails to factor-in His election […]
(Please read Introduction first) Four Major Flaws of Arminian Corporate Election (CE) I have a lot of respect for the Arminian view of CE. It presents a scholarly and fairly plausible interpretation of the doctrine of election. There are certain aspects to that position that I agree with. I think it has the right basic idea, […]
Introduction Union and Identification vs. Actual Sovereign Choice Corporate Election (CE) is normally associated with Arminian theology. 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 […]
“The pattern of Paul’s conversion is right in front of us, and should be allowed to instruct us in our understanding. Whenever such clear insight is given to us, it should not be relegated to the realm of least importance, but be given the highest place of consideration when studying these doctrines. Examples in […]
Introduction When studying the doctrine of election, I believe the starting point must be Ephesians 1:4. The reason I say that is because, number one, it’s so plainly stated. There’s no other passage in the Bible quite like it, especially within the context that it’s written. But also, after considering all other interpretations, there’s […]
Introduction Most Christians who follow social media are probably aware of the ongoing debate between complementarianism and egalitarianism, which refer to the roles of men and women in the church and home. This debate is perhaps at an all time high, because not only is there a good case to be made for both positions, but social media provides […]
First of all, I’d like to give you a brief background about my journey in regard to the doctrine of election and the atonement of Christ. For most of my life I was a non-Calvinist (Arminian/Provisionist). I believed that Christ died for every person who came into the world. For years I had a […]
