Share Calvinism more lovingly

I don’t think its worth the aggravation to try to prove that Reformed theology is the end all of systematics. I’ve chosen to hold to it personally (or actually it just makes more sense to me), but we should always reach out in Love to our brothers who don’t agree with us. I make it a point to try to find common ties with my Brothers in Christ, even though they might not agree with my position.

I have never really had a problem with sharing Calvinism with love, since it’s a theological bent, not a religion. We are all Christians, and I look lovingly on my Armenian and Dispensational brethren, who are just as much an heir of the Kingdom, as am I. We might not agree on the systematic of theology, but we can agree on the core Christian principles. There is a great misconception with our other Christian brethren, that Reformed means frozen chosen, and we do not have a zeal for the Great Commission. Even though it is very rare, that you might see an ‘alter call’ in a Reformed Church, they have a zeal for preaching the Gospel without a ‘watered down’ message. We (Christians) are not called to convince people to believe (how do you convince a fish it is a good thing to be trapped in a net), we are called to preach the Gospel. The work of Regeneration is solely in the hands of God. May the Church never be complacent in completing the work of the Great commission.

This is for those of us who struggle with persistant cage stage syndrome. The Doctrines of Grace should humble us before God and others not the opposite.
