Sirs: The Gospel of Sovereign Grace is the message, the theology, of the Great Awakenings and of the origins of the Great Century of Missions. It is also the message and theology that, in conjunction with the dropping down of the heavens, the presence of the heavenly, will produce the ultimate Great Awakening of the whole earth in one generation and perhaps for a thousand generations. Such is my prayer. The promises eluciated by Jonathan Edwards in his Humble Attempt which became the tract that prompted the Second Great Awakening and the Great Century of Missions and surely inspired William Carey, the promises Edwards set forth, can still be pleaded in this day and time. God grant such an Awakening is my prayer and, no doubt, is the prayer of a multitude of others. God speed the day.

You say, “The Calvinists provide a healthy corrective to the pragmatism that often characterizes the Revivalist and Traditionalist groups – emphasizing doctrine, ecclesiology and the importance of looking for signs of genuine conversion.” I would say, or at least HOPE, that this group goes beyond this statement. What doctrine(s) do they emphasize? There are LOTS of doctrines, and each group emphasizes one or more. Calvinists emphasize sound, Biblical doctrine — The Doctrines of Grace, to be exact. Calvinist doctrines emphasize the eternal and absolute sovereignty and the amazing Grace of God rather than the “will” of dead men in effecting regeneration and justification. They also emphasize the proclamation of the Gospel and the ability of God to work through that proclamation to draw His people, His elect, to Himself, to faith which justifies. And yes, the Calvinists also believe in the sovereignty of God over who will believe — His unconditional election, along with particular redemption of the elect. Soli Deo gloria!

A cross between Orthodox Evangelical/Calvinist. But I consider myself a classical calvinist. But I agree with your post, and I find strengths and weaknesses within each.

What about the McKissic/PPL types?

What about the Erwin McManus/emergent types?

Or was this just pointing out what was in the book?

Good post.

I haven’t read Dockery’s book yet, but look forward to doing so in the near future. One of the great things about the SBC is our diversity in so many areas. I would definitely fall under the Calvinist area. I look up to the Founders ministry in many ways, but also like Nine Marks in most all ways except plural eldership (to which I am opposed. I’m Baptist, not Presbyterian!).

No, Jessica.

The above list is not official groups that one subscribes to. It’s merely a description of the different types of Southern Baptists that are out there.

The SBC is indeed a big tent with a lot of different kinds of Southern Baptists inside.
