Arminians and Calvinists are often mistrustful of each other despite the fact that each tradition protects a shared deposit of mere Christianity.
Or do they? Some folks in each theological camp appear to think that representatives from the other side have abdicated their core theological convictions.
But one thing I’ve observed over time is that Calvinists, for the most part, tend to be more tribal and doubtful of the Christian credentials of their Arminian brothers and sisters than vice versa. So I thought I’d post two polls to test my impression.
The results may be unscientific, but at least my intuitions were confirmed, so there is that.
A survey for my Calvinist friends:
Would you have a problem with the primary preaching pastor in your church being an Arminian?
