Summary

Dr Leighton Flowers plays a clip from a good Arminian brother (Nicholas Noyola) who references a work from the Society of Evangelical Arminians to contrast the theological perspective of Arminians from that of Provisionists. This broadcast is a bit lengthy and geared toward our "theological geeks" who like getting into "the nitty-gritty" of our theological distinctions.

Hello, all my theology geek friends.

0:14.1

We are going to be talking about the differences between Armenianism and

0:19.8

provisionism.

0:21.6

And we are going to get into the nitty-gritty.

0:23.6

Now, some of this we've gone over before.

0:24.6

I just recently was brought to my attention this particular video by Nicholas.

0:30.6

And you can see there on the screen that he is trying to help the people there at the society

of evangelical Armenians understand the difference between provisionism,

0:40.8

as taught by Sociology 101 by myself,

0:44.4

and how they would typically teach the doctrine of total depravity with regard to humanity's fall, the result of that fall, and the need for grace.

1:02.8

We all believe that there's a need for grace, obviously.

1:06.8

But what is the means of grace?

1:09.1

What does God do in order to allow for people to respond to his

1:14.2

truth? Is the gospel sufficient? Is the proclamation of the gospel sufficient? Or must the gospel

1:19.8

proclamation be preceded by or accompanied with some kind of inner illuminating supernatural grace, which either one ontologically changes the nature of humanity from a fallen condition to a less fallen condition or from a enslaved condition to a less enslaved condition, whether it's partial regeneration, which I don't believe Nicholas holds to or

1:44.6

Brian Nabashano holds to, but maybe Roger Olson does. It gets into a lot of the nuance. This is one of

1:50.2

the reasons I put in the show notes there. There's some nitty gritty here, and you may be saying

1:54.9

we're slicing it pretty thin here as far as our disagreements. I get that. But I wanted to reply

1:59.5

directly to this particular video and the

2:02.7

article that he's quoting from Famaika that we've addressed before because I really do think

2:06.9

it answers some major points of contention and one of the reasons that I think, and I'll love
