The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum On SBC report on Calvinism

I think there is perhaps an important difference between Luther and this pastor. In the case of Luther, it was a matter of not leaving enough of the RCC heresy of the Eucharist behind. In the case of this pastor, it doesn't appear he has failed to leave behind something that he was taught for decades and which was a confessional doctrine, but rather he has 'discovered' this error on his own or read the writing(s) of some fringe/rogue individual(s). Luther had some but little previous literature to go on vs. this pastor who has the voluminous amount of literature, confessions, catechisms, etc. at his disposal.

Bottom line, I don't think this is a "blind spot" but rather a conscious decision to stand opposed to an official doctrine of the Reformed churches which has been thoroughly defined, developed and defended for centuries.
