Grace and the unfortunate 'isms' 07/10/2010
Throughout biblical interpretive history, there has been many many many different offshoots and opinions. Every time someone would come up with a framework to understanding what is often hidden to us, they put an 'ism' on it. Here is the result of my research into the list of 'isms' that surround those who believe in the Bible. ---Grace Guy's list of 'isms'--- THEOLOGY: SALVATION Classical Arminianism Wesleyan Arminianism Calvinism Hyper-Calvinism Lutheranism Pelagianism Semi-Pelagianism Antinomianism THEOLOGY: APOLOGETICS Presuppositionalism Ontologicalism Evidentialism Doctrinalism Moralism Scientific Experientialism THEOLOGY: ESCHATOLOGY Post-tribulational Premillennialism Dispensationalism Postmillennialism Amillennialism THEOLOGY: CHRISTOLOGY Trinitarianism Unitarianism Binitarianism THROUGH HISTORY: CHRSTIANITY Protestantism Anglicanism Eastern Orthodoxism Oriental Orthodoxism Roman Catholicism THROUGH HISTORY: REFORMATION CHRISTIANITY Anabaptism Anglicanism Calvinism Counter-Reformation Lutheranism Polish Brethren Remonstrantism THROUGH HISTORY: MODERN DAY PROTESTANTISM Pietism Methodism Evangelicalism Adventism Modernism Liberalism Pentecostalism Anglicanism Lutheranism Presbyterianism Fundamentalism Neo-orthodoxy New Evangelicalism Paleo-Orthodoxy Ecumenism --- One of the most attracting features of the doctrine of Grace is that is cuts through all the 'isms' the human mind can invent. We cannot opinionate the gift of God for man's salvation, the exclusion of any deed to make us deserve it or the power of the subsequent relationship Grace gives us. Grace cuts through it all. And it is the one thing that will unite all heaven dwellers, no matter what their 'isms'. Grace, the best common denominator to all the 'isms'. And the greatest equalizer.
