I want the recommendations that come from this task force to be looked at closely, and having a wide range of people helps that cause.` I am glad to hear that Hunt has responded quickly to the concerns about the Great Commision Resurgence task force.

Found your blog researching info about Coppenger and Cabal. I'm interested in the modular PhD in Christian Philosophy at SBTS. Is that what you call "Southern?" Send me an email so I can pick your brain a bit about SBTS' Philo PhD. Hey there! Found your blog researching info about Coppenger and Cabal.

Raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out devils and much more. Is a Christian a Christian that has no works? Jesus said a branch that bears no fruit will be cut off. However I feel that "in the last days My spirit will be poured out" means maybe not much is happening for now. The works that Jesus did.

I can understand Chapman's frustration with those who hold to God's sovereignty so much that they neglect our missional call; however, I believe the non-Calvinists in our party who rant against Calvinism paint all Calvinists as such, which I really don't think is the case.

For what would be the point of praying for the salvation of the lost if it was up to man to choose? Chapman quotes Eph. 2:8 but didn't finish the passage because it's clear that even faith is a gift of God and not a work of man. I think you hit the nail on the head. The debate comes when either side begins to pridefully hold to their doctrinal stance out of a sort of intellectualism. The proud calvinist is more the oxymoron than the missional calvinist, for the doctrines of grace leave no room for pride.
