Dr. James R. White Review: Chuck Smith and Brian Brodersen of Calvary Chapel~



Dr. James R. White reviews and responds to two audio clips by Chuck Smith and Brian Brodersen on their K-WAVE radio show "Pastor's Perspective". Pastor Chuck and Pastor Brian receive a Question from two different callers on Romans 8:29-30, the Golden Chain of Redemption, and on Calvinism. Listen to how these two Pastors respond to their callers and the content of what is said by both James and the Pastors.

I was a part of Calvary Chapel for many years, I went to the Calvary Chapel Bible College and have held the position of an elder of a Calvary Chapel. While I was an elder I was debating two Mormon missionaries in my living room and they asked me a question which I could not answer, and this started me on my path to the Reformed (derogatorily called "Calvinism") understanding of Scripture. I then moved and soon after had to leave Calvary Chapel as a result of this change. When I heard this audio it truly grieved me and angered me. Listen for yourself, you'll see why.
