Proponents: John Calvin (some argue that he was a High-Calvinist), John Murray, RL Dabney 4. Low Calvinism: Beliefs: That Christ died for all in a legal sense, so one can speak of Christ dying for the non-elect. That God has two distinct wills.

I've heard different people mean different things by "common grace". I believe in it in the sense that all men deserve hell, yet are allowed this present life for a time. I also believe that for the non-elect those good things are unto judgment so maybe that is denying common grace. So what do you mean by it so that I can know if I believe it or deny it? And I don't know what i think about the lapsarianism business, so I won't count that in my answer. I think I'm going to end up "high" but the jury's still out. I have to admit that "high" sounds more respectable than "low" so I feel somewhat abashed about choosing it, but that's the way it goes. jenney Reformed Baptist CA #10 Puritanboard Freshman jenney 04-24-2007, 03:19 PM J oin Date: Posts: May 2004 591 #11 Puritanboard Sophomore VanVos Originally Posted by Magma2 I'm a little confused as to the difference between ultra and high octane Calvinism?

I agree that perhaps the definitions could have been clearer. For example for High: 1. "God in no sense desires to save the reprobate" Yet, 2. "some deny the Well-Meant Offer." Wouldn't the affirmation of 1 be the necessary denial of 2 since the WMO is the idea that God desires to save the reprobate? Although I tend to lean toward the Ultra position, since for example I think there is a sense in which the elect are in some sense eternally justified (see Kuyper and Richard Bacon) and also if love is an action then I would say the love question is answered above per #1 which would mean Highs are really Ultras and just don't know it.

And Owen taught the absolute necessity of the atonement, so that effectively banishes him to the fringes of high-Calvinism.

Confused, I suppose. I appreciate Rev. Winzer clarifying some things. What does this make me (?): I read this from Bavink on predestination (paraphrased on punctuation mostly): Concerning the moderate/high Calvinism. These are the things I believe: If the above from Bavink is accurate, then I'd say I'm supralapsarian. Thus, I believe that all things flow from God's decree (that He works all things according to the counsel of his will). I believe that we are to preach the gospel to all indiscriminately; however, I don't know that God could have a "well-meaning" offer, if He has so decreed that men be otherwise condemned. Since we cannot know who the elect are, of course, we preach the gospel to all. It's not as if God needs our help, and our main purpose in preaching is to be obedient to God's command. Many believe (Spurgeon, et al) passages such as 1 Tim 2:4 show that God, in some way we can't fathom or comprehend, desires (not so much that He actually effects it so) that all (without exception, as opposed to distinction) men be saved. I, on the other hand, believe that the context brings it to mean all kinds of men--thus, said passages don't pose a threat to my systematic understanding of God's working in soteriology. I hope I haven't rambled. But that being said, how would I be classified?
