Is Calvinism Biblical? (Part 6)
Is Calvinism Biblical? (Debate)Steve Gregg
In this debate between Steve Gregg and Douglas Wilson, the topic of whether Calvinism is biblical is explored. Wilson argues that although regeneration is essential for salvation, it is not necessary for covenant membership, while Gregg disagrees, stating that being united with Christ is essential and that not all who claim to be part of the covenant are truly joined to Christ. The two also debate the concept of God's foreknowledge and how it relates to the issue of election.
