Update You can purchase complete discussion of this at http://whitehorseinn.org/store/categories/MP3/White-Horse-Inn-Episodes/ or download free podcast at White Horse Inn in 2 parts.(1/15/12 and 1/22/12) Taken at "For and Against Calvinism- A Conversation" event at Biola University on October 15, 2011. A healthy dialogue between Michael Horton (For Calvinism) and Roger Olson (Against Calvinism). Michael Horton gives a brief summary of what is and what is not Calvinism (or Reformed Theology). He clears up many caricatures of Calvinism and leads us to the true Biblical teachings and the greatest news and assurance of salvation it offers to undeserved and unworthy sinners. For more detailed info about teaching of Calvinism, you can purchase Michael Horton's new book from Zondervan: "For Calvinism" and Roger Olson's "Against Calvinism" For audio table discussion about the Reformed Theology, please visit www.whitehorseinn.org "Know what you believe and why you believe it" John 1:12-13 "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." John 6:37-39 "All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day." John 10:25-30 "Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify about me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." Romans 9:11-16 "Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or badin order that God's purpose in election might stand: not by works but by him who callsshe was told, "The older will serve the younger." Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy."
