For those following the conversation among Southern Baptists about
soteriology, you will want to note Dr. Jerry Vines’ recent contribution
to the discussion, “It’s Time To Discuss the Elephant in the Room.”
Among other things, Dr. Vines offers a rejoinder to the impression that
the “Traditional” statement is semi-pelagian. You’ll want to read the
entire statement and observe in particular this conciliatory note:
I have no desire that any Calvinist be
unwelcome in the SBC. I do desire that we can live together as brothers,
openly and lovingly affirming our theological positions without trying
to force them upon others who take another view. And I pray we will be
willing to join hearts and hands with those who may view theological
matters somewhat differently than we do, within the framework of our
BF&M.
Dr. Vines is one of the heroes of the conservative resurgence. Read the rest of his essay here. Denny Burk
