unfortunately most Calvinists think JD Hall is crazy, so. no dice. pulpit and pen and reforming america ministries aaand...the other one. I think it's reformation media. all have a small contingent of incredibly vocal hyper-Calvinist followers that are really active in Calvinist FB groups.

if you spot a hyper-Calvinist ask them if you must intellectually assent to the doctrines of grace in order to be saved. this begins the Calvinist battle. tag somebody else in on the comment thread and agree with the person who knows the most about obscure dutch theologians (NOT Kuyper, this is a trap) and congrats you've just participated in some kind of weird reformed mating ritual that happens constantly.

The question of heresy must be reopened in our time, not for the purpose of witch-hunting, but for the sake of the Church's life. We need to be clear about the subject to which our proclamation points and the relation of our words about that Subject to our actions in the world. Here it must be emphasized that we are not simply concerned with our theological conceptualizations of Jesus Christ, although they are included. Theological concepts have meaning only as they are translated into theological praxis, that is, the Church living in the world on the basis of what it proclaims. This means that theology and ethics, though not identical, are closely interrelated: the mission of the Church is defined by its proclamation, and the proclamation is authenticated by the mission. For the sake of the mission of the Church in the world, we must continually ask, What actions deny the Truth disclosed in Jesus Christ? Where should the line be drawn? Can the Church of Jesus Christ be racist and Christian at the same time? Can the Church of Jesus Christ be politically, socially, and economically identified with the structures of oppression and also be a servant of Christ? Can the Church of Jesus Christ fail to make the liberation of the poor the center of its message and work, and still remain faithful to its Lord?

On the level of theory these questions are easy to answer. Yet they are very difficult to answer in the day-to-day life of the Church. This difficulty is increased because we live in a society of any denominations under an ethos of the "freedom" of religion. But difficulties do not make the questions less important. Indeed their importance is grounded in the integrity of our faith and the obedience that is inherent in the reality of Jesus Christ. The answer to the question of heresy as it relates both to our past and to our present situation begins and ends with the centrality of Jesus Christ as the Liberator of the oppressed. Any interpretation of the gospel in any historical period that fails to see Jesus as the Liberator of the oppressed is heretical. Any view of the gospel that fails to understand the Church as that community whose work and consciousness are defined by the community of the oppressed is not Christian and is thus heretical. Within this context the issue of heresy must be debated.

Despite the name, I rarely played EUIV in Europe. Majapahit is life; the spice must flow (from us). It is hard to reintroduce Hinduism into the Muslim territories of Nusantara. No biggie, though. At +1 Tolerance to Heathens, the Dharma abides.

is it bad that i'm actually glad about this because it will discourage more calvinists from coming into the church and gradually protestantizing it, which is a thing i'm paranoid about

like we are supposed to convert the whole world but i'd rather someone else deal with these bastards

im a little worried bc i know two people being received into the church tomorrow and one's a ex-calvinist street preacher and the other's sixteen and already flirting with sedevecantism

Truthfully, I had forgotten that Venezuela was hunger-stricken. The call to share bread together seems to apply to sacred as well as bulk bread.

The wiki article on Heterodoxy contains this

heterodoxy may describe beliefs that differ from strictly orthodox views, but that fall short either of formal or of material heresy

in the liturgical world, heresy is a very specific thing that's only really applied to people in teaching positions who are teaching heterodox theology. it's basically the willful desire to teach something other than the official teaching of the church. you can't accidentally fall into heresy.

in the calvinist world, heterodoxy has a couple more letters in it. who knows.

zonohedron

Okay, fair, I didn't think of it as similar to the difference between "assault" and "hitting somebody"! In the context of the meme, though, it's not like they're saying that Arminians are accidentally not Calvinists. (Unless Arminianism and Calvinism are both accidents in the Aristotelian sense?)

they're both accidents of history *lights my censer and speeds off in the popemobile*

I'll try to explain what's going on a little better. This is a hyper-Calvinist meme, and hyper-Calvinists believe that you MUST believe in the five solae and five-point Calvinism (TULIP) in order to be saved. So they're making fun of other Calvinists who believe Arminians to be brothers and sisters in Christ through defending them saying they're heterodox rather than heretics -- heterodoxy is connoted to be a "softer" form of heresy than, like, actual heresy. In other words, defending them by saying they're on the right track but they got lost or bored somewhere before finding the doctrines of grace. So they might have different beliefs, but they're not, at least, going against the solae.

Which hyper-Calvinists don't think actually happens. If you're part of the elect then you join a hyper-Calvinist church and then you are led to fully assent to the doctrines of grace. So they don't think kindly of Arminians or other Calvinists trying to defend them as part of the church.
