Mark Driscoll recently said in an interview, “I don’t hold to the five points of Calvinism. I think it’s garbage… it’s not biblical.” This has garnered a lot of attention because Mark was, for several years, a highly influential pastor and author that Time Magazine identified as one leaders in the New Calvinist movement. Where did the “five points” come from? What do we think of Mark’s take on “the five points”? Was Mark ever “reformed” in any sense of the word? Why do people care? Jimmy and Joe get into all of it on today’s episode. But, first, the guys revisit the whole Founders Cinedebacle discussed on yesterday’s bonus episode.

The guys are back on the 1689, this time wrapping up Chapter 3 on God's Decree by discussing the final paragraph. Why must we be careful with the doctrines of God’s decree and unconditional election? How do these truths relate to the Christian’s assurance of salvation? And how should all of this lead us to a healthy “praise, reverence, and admiration of God, and of humility, diligence, and abundant consolation”? Plus, high people are not funny, and the guys argue over “bread and butter” vs “meat and potatoes”.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
