| Practical Advice for Calvinists |

| Calvinism is not the Gospel. Don’t view any period of church history or any group as perfect. Be careful about accepting entire systems of theology. Some parts of Reformed theology are erroneous. Practical Wisdom for Calvinists by Darryl Erkel |

| Impersonal, Systematic Theology vs. the Doctrine of Christ |
| |
| Systematic theology: The doctrine of this and the doctrine of that. I'll never forget once asking a Reformed pastor, "Have you ever wondered why God didn't write the Bible in the form of a confession of faith?" The surprised look on his face spoke volumes. The Bible contains little systematic theology, mostly in Romans. |
| |
| After 10 years in Reformed theology circles, my mind was so chained by systematic theology that I had to read the following article 3 times over a period of years to fully understand and appreciate it. If you focus on systematic theology, please pray before reading this one: "Doctrines or Doctrine?" by Conrad Murrell Vol. 19:1, Jan. 93 |

One Covenant of Grace or One Plan of Grace/Multiple Covenants?
Searching Scripture for Covenant Theology's Missing Foundation |
| |
| Covenant theology believes that God has one eternal plan, structured by one covenant of grace throughout redemptive history. However, historic dispensationalism taught that God had 2 plans, one for Israel and one for the Church, structuring multiple covenants in redemptive history. Which one is true? What if they're both partially true? According to the Holy Spirit's inspired singulars and plurals, God has one plan of grace structured by multiple covenants in redemptive history. Very highly recommended: "Is There a Covenant of Grace?" by Jon Zens |

Are the 10 Commandments Really the
Eternal, Unchanging Moral Law of God? |
| |
| What was the function of the 10 commandments in redemptive history? The Holy Spirit says the decalogue is "the covenant." (The Decalogue is part of the old covenant, not the whole covenant.) If you want to understand the relation between the old covenant and new covenant, this is the place to start. Read this free online book: "Tablets of Stone" by John Reisinger. |
