It’s nothing personal…I just think that you became part of a great Southern Baptist conspiracy.
I say that half-joking, but half-serious.
It just seems that most of the people who came out in your support initially had other axes to grind with different authority figures in the SBC, and I don’t want to be associated with what I perceive to be an anti-authoritarian movement.
1) We are born dead in sin, due to the trespasses of Adam
2) From our first choice, we sin, doubly condemning ourselves
3) No one, in this state, chooses God
4) Through grace, God calls some, enabling them to believe
5) These called folk hear the gospel, the word of Christ
6) They believe / have faith. By grace, through their faith, God
justifies them
Everything in step 6 happens simultaneously. The time between 4 and 5,
and 5 and 6, is indeterminate. But everyone that God calls (step 4)
will eventually believe (step 6) because they will hear the gospel (step 5).

Hi Wade,

Is this timeline true?

Kaelius,
For the most part, yes. I would add before point #1 Election, and invert 4 and 5.
Will you be printing more weeks? I am interested in the 26th
