Who Said That?

"However, contrary to strong Calvinism, in regard to the freedom of accepting God's gift of salvation the Bible is clear:  Fallen beings are free."

Many of you guessed this one. This is a quotation from Norm Geisler's book, Chosen But Free, p. 33.

Rod Rosenbladt or Norm Geisler

[George]

Rosenbladt?! Has he jumped ship to the other side?

[Tom]

I googled it and got Kim Riddlebarger. :)

[timinator]

Dave Hunt would say.

Andrew took my guess. Zane Hodges

[Mike R]

a fallen being

My guess is Norm Geisler, who attempts to hijack the term Calvinism and re-define the termonology to fit his semi-pelagianism. IOW, Geisler is semi-pelagian and calls himself a "moderate Calvinist". He also said irresistable grace makes God a "divine rapist". Hard for me to respect anybody who knowingly and malicously misrepresents his opposition the way Geisler does. I don't care how many PHDs he has.

Sorry for the rant

Sounds just like Geisler from his 'Chosen but Free' catastrophe of muddle-mindedness.

[Brandon]

I agree, sounds like Norm Geisler to me, if not him definately someone who considers themselves a "moderate calvinist". The language of "strong calivinist" gives it away. I'm not sure what they gain by trying to hijack the term calvinist. They are really 4 point Arminians who don't want to be consistant when it comes to whether or not you can lose your salvation. I read Chosen But Free and if a person was to read that who didn't already have a good grasp on what Calvinism was, it would lead to enormous confusion on the topic.

[Gene Frenkel]

Zane Hodges?

[Greg]

Sure sounds like Geisler.

[Dave]

Chuck Misler? I once heard a lecture from him titled the 'Sovereignty of Man' where he explained in his condescending style, how man has sovereignty over his final judgment, not God.

[Doug]

I've heard Norman Geisler say this before, but it is a common saying with Arminians.
