You might be a Calvinist if you believe God is deceiving people while still criticizing them for being deceived.

Ouch!

You might be a Calvinist if you’d rather pontificate about young girls waiting in line to see Hannah Montana than go and pass out tracts in that line.

You might be a fundamentalist if you’d rather argue about the Trinity in Tampa than go and help the brothers in Darfur.

You might be a fundamentalist if you believe the homosexual population of America has a cohesive ‘agenda’ that involves the destruction of Western Christianity, and believe a group of people can actually succeed in destroying God’s Church unless you use your blog to smash and destro…I mean “stop” them.

PB,

Yep I agree emergents do a lot of evangelism… which might include blogging and why it has become so effective in reaching and connecting many of us together. Blogging has also brought together many of us who were alienated from the church so that we can begin to heal from people that have harmed us in the name of Jesus, but really in the name of they “doctrines”.

Really, I took it as you were tooting your horn also. = )

But, truthfully I wonder how many disciples are made out of you evangelism… not a put down, but we are not called to make converts, but disciples of Jesus.

Man, PB, sensitive much?

Anyway, if you would have said you “prioritize evangelism over blogging” that would be one thing, but you said you “do more evangelism than blogging”. I don’t see how that’s not supposed to sound like bragging.

Perhaps you didn’t mean it to, but it sure sounded like you were tooting your own horn to me.

Phil, very offensive. After this post, I was simply picking out one thing that seemed out of place. You could put that under you might be an emergent, not you might be a calvanist. In other words, I wasn’t bragging.

You might be a Calvinist if God hasn’t sovereignly opened your heart to the truth.

I do more evangelism than blogging, does that excuse me?

I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
