Soteriology 101: Former Calvinistic Professor Discusses Doctrines Of Salvation

“WHY DID YOU BELIEVE THE GOSPEL, BUT YOUR FRIEND DID NOT? ARE YOU WISER OR SMARTER OR MORE SPIRITUAL OR BETTER TRAINED OR MORE HUMBLE?” This is typically one of the first questions a Calvinist will ask a non-Calvinist when attempting to convince them of their doctrine.[1] In fact, when I was a Calvinist, I used this argument more often than any other, and it was quite effective. However, I have come to believe there are at least five significant problems with this line of argumentation: 1) CALVINISM IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY SYSTEM THAT TEACHES THE BELIEVER IS “BETTER” OR “MORE CAPABLE” THAN THE ONE WHO REFUSED TO BELIEVE: On Calvinism God makes some people (the elect) “smarter” (or insightful, or able to understand truth), more humble and privileged by a work of irresistible regenerative grace.

Dr. Leighton Flowers presents a short explanation of Jesus's parable of the Wedding Banquet in Matthew 22. There are several divine choices made by God to bring about redemption. 1) The election of the nation that the king ruled over in the parable (representing Israel) 2) The election of the servants from that nation to deliver the wedding invitations (representing prophets/apostles). 3) The election of those who would receive the invitations (representing the message going first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles) 4) The election to permit those properly clothed in wedding garments to enter (representing those clothed in Christ’s righteousness by faith) The moral of Christ’s parable was, “Many are called, but few are elect” (v. 14). In other words, many are “unconditionally” invited by “unconditionally” elected servants from an “unconditionally” elected nation. - The nation was not chosen because it was more moral or more deserving (i.e. “unconditional”) - The servants from that nation were not selected b

Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism and Apologetics for Texas Baptists, interacts with a message by Dr. John Piper to go over three views of election. The individual election to effectual salvation view, held to by Calvinists, the individual election to service view, and the corporate view of election to salvation view.
