Calvinism Debate at SBC "Too Collegial"

Ken Massey, pastor of First Baptist Church of Greensboro, N.C., said the debate yesterday between Paige Patterson and Al Mohler over Calvinism was "too collegial."

Knowing the heat of the controversy and divisions that the resurgence of Calvinism is causing in Southern Baptist Churches around the country, I'm surprised that Patterson treats these matters with such indifference.

In times past, Patterson's deference to Mohler on this issue would have been viewed as a sign of half-hearted commitment to the Great Commission.

Update: ABP has posted further information about this Calvinism debate.

Of course Paige spent 3 days at N.O. seminary in recent years preaching against calvinism.
