Pastor Roy is one that will stand for truth no matter what the cost is . I will say this again: Watch how the SBC Calvinist leaders remain very silent these days. Some seem to still "Play the Game". They try to make "Both sides" happy. Look at the ones doing the conferences within the SBC and you tell me if I'm wrong. Roy Hargrave is different ! So is Tom Nettles and Tom Ascol. Nathan,

I always enjoy them! I praise God that he is faithful in preaching the Word in a season (and a convention) where it certainly isn't popular. Thanks for the heads up on this story! I can always count on hearing the news from you first. Scott,

I have yet to meet an Arminian. Maybe he should actually do some research on "arminianism".

And if your assessment of my mischaracterization is true then I suppose a scorecard should be kept.

It's easy and cowardly to just throw out a statement such as you made. Man up! Mark,

I am interested in your statement about 'never' meeting an Arminian. What is an Arminian in your opinion? Mark, You are more than welcome to disagree here, but please do it in charity.
