Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are going to be discussing the difference between being reformed and a Calvinist.

00:00:11

I know many think that being a Calvinist is being reformed, but they're actually different.

00:00:16

We're going to explain why.

00:00:17

We have three major reasons that we believe would be a distinction between those who are reformed and those who would just believe in the five points of Calvinism.

00:00:27

Then, towards the end of the podcast, we explain why it is important for the distinction.

00:00:32

If you love resting in Christ and the message of theocast, then this is going to be coming from a reform perspective.

00:00:38

And in our members' podcast, the three of us explain our transition out of we would say Pietism or Calvinism into a confessionally reformed perspective, and hopefully share with you some other additional helps in the members' podcast.

00:00:52

Stay tuned.
