The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Doug Wilson & the "Paul" something or another

What is this thing I see from time to time of a different view of Paul by Doug Wilson?

Hey, where have you been hiding? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

Basically, Doug Wilson and a large company of others have departed from the faith once delivered unto the saints. They are trying to rewrite church history by reverting back to semi-Pelagianism, i.e., a grace + works salvation, aka: synergism.

You can do a quick search here for such terms as: "NPP", or "FV" or "Federal Vision" or "Wilson" or "Shepherd", et al. Or you can do a search on Google for the same and be prepared to read articles for the next 3 or 4 years.

There will most likely be others who will fill in the huge gap I've left in my extremely brief summary. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
In His grace,

Pilgrim

Wasn't Wilson an old friend of yours?

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/nope.gif" alt="" /> He isn't old and hardly a friend. I have never met the man nor corresponded with him. I think you might be thinking of John Armstrong? who also has gone over to FV.

Thankee sir, mystery solved

Sorry your right it was John Armstrong I was thinking of. I knew it was someone who had gone over to FV.

I listened to a debate (really just a discussion) hosted by Joost Nixon of St. Anne's Public House between Michael Horton and Doug Wilson where Wilson comes across as a card-carrying five-pointer. You would never know from that discussion that he adheres to the Federal Vision.

That is probably because many proponents (or so they say) of FV believe that 5 point Calvinism and FV are compatible with each other.
But personally I can't understand how they can't see that these two belief systems are totally at odds with each other.

I am curious, from that debate (discussion) was there anything in Wilson's arguements that might shed some light on that?
