Featured The difference between True Arminian/ Non Cal's and False converts

Some have been lying and saying that I am calling everyone but Calvinists False converts, or that I have been labeling people false converts. This is completely false as only God knows whom is true and who is false! Some vocal Arminian protagonists on this board I believe to be believers, but we disagree in some areas of theology. I will state there is a HUGE difference between reading the book of a True Arminian or non Cal and that of someone I believe personally to be a false disciple. Let me demonstrate.

Recently I was digging and tossing some books in my library and I discovered books I have had that are by some that profess Christ, yet their books are filled with psycho babble, and secular wisdom. I can't say of the salvation of the author, but it may be possible the person is not a true convert, but I do not know. Let me give you examples.

Books by those professing Christ, yet the Bible is not their authority.

Quitter: Closing the Gap Between Your Day Job & Your Dream Job
Have you ever felt caught between the tension of a day job and a dream job? That gap between what you have to do and what you'd love to do? All too often, we hear that dreaming big means you quit your day job, sell everything you own, and move to Guam. But what if there were a different way? What if you could blow up your dream without blowing up your life? What if you could go for broke without going broke? What if you could start today? What if you already have everything you need to begin? From figuring out what your dream is to quitting in a way that exponentially increases your chance of success, Quitter is full of inspiring stories and actionable advice. This book is based on 12 years of cubicle living and my true story of cultivating a dream job that changed my life and the world in the process. It's time to close the gap between your day job and your dream job. It's time to be a Quitter.

This author claims Christ, yet his book does not demonstrate the Bible being his authority, which makes me question this character.

Another author that claims Christ, yet no Bible verses, nor is the Bible his authority.

Another book that I used to own but it got tossed as I do not believe this author to be a true follower of the Lord. It may be possible that he is, but I don't trust his secular wisdom.

The Road Less Traveled, Timeless Edition: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth
The Road Less Traveled continues to help us explore the very nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It helps us learn how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one’s own true self. Recognizing that, as in the famous opening line of his book, “Life is difficult” and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his readers, but rather guides them gently through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding.

This author gets some of his wisdom from Buddhism and other non Christian sources and believe it or not he may claim to be a Christian, and I was given this garbage book by someone claiming to be a Christian.

Friends true Arminians and Non Cal's love the scripture and it is their authority. I have plenty of non Cal books in my library by authors like Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, John Walvoord, Ron Rhodes and such. These men love the word. So as you see there is a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE between a false convert and a true Arminian or Non Cal.

 

My POINT is that many claiming to be Arminian may indeed not be born again, do not write with the Bible being their authority. They get wisdom from Buddha, and other world religions and integrate it into their writings and life teachings. A true Arminian recognizes Jesus as being the only Way (Jn 14:6) and the word of God as being the authority in all matters.

 

That's not what I said. I meant that some may profess faith but by their actions I am confused but only God knows...

 

Very well said very well said.

 

Heretics!!!

 

Do you think attending church at a Pentecostal Holiness church and hearing them preach is the same as hearing a good Calvinist pastor preach?

I went to such a church once and never again. Those guys just do not know a thing about exegesis, and air their opinion as if its the word of God. They call it the Word of knowledge and the pastor prays for a sermon, yet refuses to open his bible, but just slams the pulpit and airs his opinion and says the same thing about 20 times in a sermon.
