Hello and welcome back to Sociology 101.

0:11.0

Today we're going to do something a little different.

0:12.6

I had a recording with a friend named Kyle Bailey for his podcast, which I'll put a link in

0:17.3

the show notes so you can learn more about Kyle and his ministry.

0:20.3

But I asked him if he wouldn't mind if I recorded it for our broadcast as well because I was going to be busy this week and wouldn't have time to do another recording.

0:27.4

And so in a sense, we did, I guess, two birds with one stone by both of us recording for this broadcast.

0:32.3

And so the setup's a little different. Obviously, he's going to be interviewing and asking me questions about my journey and out of Calvinism and some of the views that I hold to and a little bit on James White

0:41.4

in our debate there and the distinctions that we hold to. And so I hope that she'll enjoy this

0:45.6

interview. Today we're with Dr. Layton Flowers. He's the director of evangelism and apologetics

0:50.6

for Texas Baptist. And he's a theology professor, but he's most known for, I believe,

0:57.2

founding the website, Soteriology 101.com. He did a pretty popular debate with James White on

1:04.2

Romans Chapter 9, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I've known Leighton for quite a few years now,

1:10.6

and so I'm just happy to have you on and

1:13.7

get to talk about this incredible subject that so many people are curious about.

1:20.0

Well, thanks, Kyle, for having me on. It's my pleasure to be here.

1:23.1

Absolutely. So I'm just going to kind of dive right in. I know one of the most interesting

1:27.4

aspects of your story is that you haven't always been known for debunking Calvinism. You actually were part of the Calvinist world for quite a while. So how did you first become a Calvinist? Well, I was raised in a pretty typical

1:45.1

Southern Baptist type church. I was always raised with kind of the understanding and belief that God

1:49.8

genuinely loves and desires for all to be saved. And the only reason anybody wouldn't be saved is because

1:55.1

they just simply chose to reject Christ. And I think that's probably the most basic way of people understand

2:02.6

salvation and sociology. It's definitely the most predominant view among both Eastern and Orthodox

2:08.5

theology. But there is and has been a string throughout Christian history of a belief that God is the one who ultimately makes that decision as to who will believe and who won't believe and follow him.
