I am having a lot of discussion with my Christian friends on reformed theology. This is a huge subject!

How important is an adamant view on say predestination? What views do others have on this?

Me personally I would just hammer on the five points of the doctrines of grace <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bash.gif" alt="" /> if all they want to do is debate. Yes I know you said discussion and not debate.
