Hi MJM!!

You quoted:

"After studying the arguments from both sides, I began to doubt my belief in the Calvinian view of God's divine decree"

I am genuinely curious what materials did you study on both sides?? What did you read on the Arminian side that made you change your mind?? Now I am pretty familiar with this label because I go to an "Arminian" church right now! Have you read some of the stuff I have??

Now ironically I am kind of in the opposite position of you. I have been in "Arminian" churches all of my Christian life and now just in the last few months (and a big part because of this web site) I have discovered that alas there is a "label" and a name to the theology that I have always kind of always "known" in my heart - Reformed theology. And indeed I have to also agree (from what I've read so far) that Arminianism does counter greatly with the 5 Solas and I can attest that from my experience in my current church. My eyes have been so opened to these 2 views!!

I hope you will dialouge here. This is a discussion board and it takes time to talk and learn here.
