Our hatred or love of a thing should be directly proportionate to that teaching’s clarity in Scripture. When arguing from the actual text of Scripture, doctrines like the Trinity, 6-day creationism, and the roles of women in ministry are not difficult issues because they are so clear.

But is there any non-Calvinist arguing that the doctrines of grace are as evidently heretical as unitarianism? Is there no way a man can hold to inerrancy and still interpret Acts 13:48 monergistically?

The issue is one of evidence and clarity. Many haters of Total Inability renounce it as if there is no evidence. We can do that with pluralism, but not with Reformation theology. As long as men use that kind of weak, rhetoric-born logic they can expect to be slowly abandoned.

I am interested to see how Bauder’s comments are received by others.

In the words of Emily Litella, “Never mind.”

I only wish he had given a brief summary of what he thinks are the central defining marks of the fundamentalism of which he approves.
