Hello and welcome back to Sociology 101. My name is Layton Flowers. I'm the director of personal evangelism and apologetics for Texas Baptist. And we're going to be discussing the fate of the un-evangelized today. What about those who have never heard? Now, we had other broadcast on this particular subject, but there's been some confusion, some back and forth, some false accusations made out in the public blogosphere. And so I wanted to take

some time just to clarify, to get some education on these different perspectives that some people

may not even be aware of, which sometimes leads to confusion. And I admit, some of these things can get

pretty confusing when you don't understand some of the different perspectives. And this is not just

a Calvinism versus Armenian not just a Calvinism versus

Armenianism or a Calvinism versus traditionalism kind of an argument. In fact, I think as we

go through this, you'll see that there are Calvinists in both camps with regard to this

particular question. And when those things aren't understood, sometimes you can get people confused about different issues. And I'm

hoping this video brings clarity to that. And I also want to just say in passing that when I produce a

video that is responding to some of these critics, and I purposefully don't use their names. So I'm not saying that any particular

individual is being childish. I tend to try to paint that as to say, this is a childish

tactic or this is an immature tactic. For example, saying that person believes in pluralism

when they're really an inclusivist, that's not being very educated. It's not being

well informed about the issues. And therefore, you're not sitting at the adult educated table.

Instead, you're shouting people down as being a heretic for something they don't actually hold to.

And that's an immature tactic. Now, whether the shoe fits or not, that's for you to determine and to decide if somebody is acting immature or should be sitting at the quote unquote kids table or not. So when I speak about sitting at the adult table, I'm challenging people to actually join us at the adult table because I want people, I want more

people at the adult table. I would love to have adult conversations about these particular

issues and not to label each other as heretics or shout each other down or not engage with

the actual points of contention because you're, you know, saying things like,

well, Layton doesn't believe in salvation through Jesus, or Layton believes in

universalism, or Layton believes in salvation without faith. All of these have actually been

titles of articles that have come out recently that are completely misaligning my perspective,
