Can modern SBC Calvinism and Traditional Southern Baptist Arminianism coexist in the same denomination?
The co-existence of Calvinism and Arminianism in a single denomination is being orchestrated by SBC upper echelon elite under the guise of peace and unity. They believe success might be possible but only if a substantial level of ignorance, on the Calvinism/Arminianism issue, is maintained within local church congregations. They know a church will be fundamentally divided if the congregation repudiates the following items while church leaders embrace them:
This is not just a cosmetic divide. It is about diametrically opposed divine personalities. It is about the very essence of God. For nearly 500 years theologians have searched for a “consensus accord” and failed. But a politically correct SBC Committee might boldly endeavor to start with a thesis of Calvinism (God’s will is not thwarted) and the corresponding antithesis of Arminianism (God’s will is thwarted) and, by some Hegelian Dialectic, produce a stunning synthesis, even more clever than positive tolerance, which both sides can embrace. This committee might have to tweak the principles of logic and reason that have constrained the discussion for half a millennium. In any case, Traditional Baptists are unlikely to discover a “consensus accord” much different than the one Neville Chamberlain achieved at Munich. Takeover has been the orchestrated objective of Calvinists since the “conservative revolution” two decades ago. When a Calvinist pastor takes charge of a Traditional Baptist church and splits it in half, the outcome is not viewed as disruptive or destructive; Calvinists view it as “purification.”
