Publisher Description:

Timing is everything. Nothing could be truer as it relates to John Calvin and his teaching. If Calvin had lived a century earlier, his teaching would have been swallowed up in the Catholic tradition, and he would likely be a footnote in Christian history rather than a pillar. If he had come a century later, his teaching would have faced the daunting task of shaping a movement that was already in motion. When Calvin developed his doctrine, it was the perfect time. The Western World was ready for a new theological system as it had not been since the time of Constantine. This time, however, the system was able to ride the wings of revolution that bore the historically powerful impetus of freedom from religious tyranny. But, what if Calvin was wrong? In this book, readers will learn the basics of the Calvinistic teaching of Eternal Security and the disparity between this teaching and the clear teaching of the Bible. For example:

  • Ezekiel 18:24 says, "But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die." Eternal Security and Ezekiel clash at this point. What should the responsible Christian do?

  • What about all of the Christians who have fallen into sin and even died in a backslidden state?

  • What about all the parables that conflict with the teaching of Eternal Security?

  • The Bible lists several sins that are capable of destroying a believer's hope in Heaven. Among those are unforgiveness and hatred. Is the answer that Eternal Security provides strong enough to overrule these Scriptural teachings?

In addition, "What if Calvin Was Wrong?" exposes several myths that are often propagated by modern Calvinists. Many of these myths are faulty interpretations of Scripture. See how these myths stack up when evaluated in the light of the truth. The most dramatic of these myths is the teaching of modern Calvinists that suicide victims can go to Heaven. Is this true? Is it what the Bible says? What if Calvin was wrong?

Contributor Bio(s): Prewitt, Billy: - Walking in His Calling "If you ask me to give a speech on any other subject, I become very nervous, but put a Bible in my hand and all of that nervousness disappears." Billy Prewitt sensed the Lord's calling on his life at an early age. He originally pursued a career in music playing the trumpet; however, after receiving numerous scholarships, awards, touring across the United States and England, performing for President George Bush, playing as a featured soloist with bands and symphony orchestra, and many other musical accomplishments, he had no satisfaction. It was at this point, that his dad suggested that he enroll in Bible college for one semester. That one semester turned into years of Bible College which changed his life and helped him to discover his true calling. Since that time, he has been actively involved in ministry: preaching, teaching, door-to-door witnessing, counseling, outdoor crusades, and doing whatever else he can to see the Lord's work advance. Billy Prewitt holds a Master of Arts in Theology, Master of Education in Educational Leadership, and a Bachelor of Arts in Sacred Music. He has served as a youth pastor, associate pastor, and senior pastor. He is married to Rebekah Prewitt, a Christian counselor and author of "You Can Be a Happy Wife: A Look at the Wife's Role" and a wonderful online Premarital Preparation Course.
