Calvinism and Christianity 9



If you are a Calvinist, you may or may not be a Christian. 

Do you believe that God exhaustively knows the future?
• If you answered yes, you might be a Christian.
• Calvinists and Christians believe that God exhaustively knows the future.
• Some Christians think that a denial of this doctrine is a rejection of basic Christian Theism, and that those who deny the doctrine cannot therefore be Christian.
• The Society of Evangelical Arminians affirms the doctrine, and one cannot belong to the society unless one is in agreement with it.

Doctrine does not affect one's salvation - belief in Christ does. However, there exists a distinct possibility that if your doctrine is false, as is the case with Calvinism, then you may never have asked Jesus' forgiveness and as a result, you may not have received salvation.
