0:00.0	What's the main difference between Calvinist and non-Calvinists?
0:03.0	Dr. R. C. Spruill answered that question and we engage.
0:06.0	Let's dive here.
0:07.0	I'm out for questioning what the Calvinists say.
0:16.0	Welcome back to Sociology 101.
0:18.0	I'm often asked a question by those who really don't want to take a lot of time on this particular issue between Calvinists and non-Calvinists.
