Calvinists are decieved by Satan?
I saw a post recently that essentially said that Calvininists that believe in predestination are decieved by Satan. This is absolutely disgusting.
Saying something like this can cause division in the body of Christ and actually says alot about the state of the author's own soul (Romans 16:17).
Yes, I know there are alot of Calvinists that speak of Arminian theology like this too and this also has to stop.
As long as we believe in the core essentials of the Christian faith- The virgin birth, the deity of Christ, the Trinity, the divine inspiration of the Bible, the crucifixion (for our justification by faith alone) and the ressurection we are part of the body of Christ.
I will conclude with two examples of Arminian and Calvinist believers living in harmony.
A friend of a church member who sometimes visits herself, is a Calvinist herself but her local church is a Wesleyan chapel (the good Biblically solid kind not the awful liberal theology type) and her pastor there is an Arminian, he helps her grow spiritually as a pastor should and knows she is a Calvinist and has no issues at all. He would never call her theology "Satanic".
I myself over a weekend breakfast love watching Joe Kirby videos, I feel spiritually refreshed by them and he is an Arminian brother.
One body.
