Hello and welcome back to Sotriology 101.

0:10.7

Today we're going to play a clip from John Piper going over the doctrine of election from his perspective.

0:16.4

But before we go there, I want to give a quick overview and a lesson on the three different views of election historically, two of which I believe are both biblical. They're not either-or-type

0:26.8

concepts, but one which is the Calvinistic view of election, which is, of course, something

0:31.2

I don't believe is biblically founded. But I want to be fair as I can in representing Calvinists,

0:36.2

which is why almost in every episode you'll hear me play a Calvinistic clip for themselves.

0:41.3

I want you to hear them for what they teach.

0:43.3

I'm often accused of misrepresenting Calvinism.

0:46.3

That's not my intention. That's why I play them for themselves, something that very rarely Calvinists do on their own broadcast, play the best of our scholars for ourselves.

being as fair, if not more fair, than most of the leading scholarly Calvinist in our world today,

1:21.9

at least on the broadcast that I've been listening to. Now, if you want to send me

1:25.1

examples of where a well-known Calvinist have

1:28.5

represented the provisionist or traditionalist Southern Baptist perspective in a robust way, I would

1:34.0

love to hear it. And I would give them much praise and thanks for their willingness to go out of

1:40.1

their way and paint our view in the most correct light and the most realistic light

1:45.3

as possible. And so I want you to hear from John Piper here in a second, but I want you to have

1:51.1

a kind of a framework on which to base his answers and his arguments on. Because as David

1:57.3

Allen has said before and I have continually said, Calvinists have the same vocabulary,
