Tim, HONESTLY, I know several profs and students at SBTS who are not 5 point Calvinists. <br /><br />Thank you to our distinguished blog host for the opportunity to interact with each of you regarding our upcoming conference. Hope to see you there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513457692712197863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643342666676162215.post-58331755427787622772012-06-21T15:03:17.348-05:002012-06-21T15:03:17.348-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513457692712197863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643342666676162215.post-36758963849903946602012-06-21T10:45:34.548-05:002012-06-21T10:45:34.548-05:00Thanks Dr. Chitwood!

Div. program at SBTS as a 5-point Calvinist and graduated as a 4-point Calvinist. The reason I dropped a point was because of constant urging by professors for us to conform to the Bible itself rather than to any particular system.<br /><Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643342666676162215.post-64546486581164414912012-06-12T07:46:58.076-05:002012-06-12T07:46:58.076-05:00I do think Paul is putting is head in the sand whe...I do think Paul is putting is head in the sand when he states that: "Any assumption that the KBC or SBTS are strictly Calvinist entities is a mistaken assumption."<br />I do not believe KBC is but Southern diffently is...Paul quit trying to be politically correct.

I think that he has responded to my questions courteously and forthrightly. My question clearly articulated my perception that SBTS "has a strong Calvinistic flavor." I am not alone in this perception—I have Calvinistic friends who are at SBTS precisely because they share Bart Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021102240441576393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643342666676162215.post-10789001973936056922012-06-12T07:37:09.124-05:002012-06-12T07:37:09.124-05:00Bart,
