I am still curious as to why you believe some of the things that you believe. Please explain what you believe The Doctrines of Grace and especially Limited Atonement teaches. As well, I would like for you to explain why you feel that you are able to refer to people who hold to the 5 points as unorthodox. Thanks amigo, mike Brett,

How many times have you held up the flag that says "I was a Calvinist for years"?. If you don't know that many people refer to Calvinism as "The Doctrines of Grace", then as I said already, you seem to know very little about Calvinism. And since most of your objections sound like the common knee jerk reactions of people who haven't studied it, this again makes it seem as though you know very little about the 5 points of Calvinism. If I'm wrong, and you know a lot about Calvinism, then you did a poor job showing that in this discussion. The only person claiming any level of expertise here is you, Brett.

Forgive me for not knowing that a synonymous term for the 5 points of Calvinism or "TULIP" is the "Doctrines of Grace". Actually, that title is totally misleading because limited atonement is not very gracious to the ones who aren't "chosen". I'm not some idiot in high school who has just stumbled upon this heretical doctrine. On the contrary, I used to hold to it for years until I started viewing the text canonically as opposed to in isolation. It's a shame you all actually think it's "orthodox". Lucas,

You honestly don't think I believe in grace? You've got to be kidding me. You don't have to be Calvinistic and reformed to believe in the "doctrines of Grace". Unbelievable. You guys are so funny.

In light of that, I have no problem calling myself a Southern Baptist and yet hold to the Doctrines of Grace. The Baptist Faith and Message is a confession, much different from a creed.
