Well I googled " Francis Chan's College Calvinist" and came up with some relevant hits. You will get his College web site among the first hits which has a statement of faith which sounds decidedly Calvinistic to me. Don't get me wrong I''m not anti- Francis Chan at all. It's just this video that prompted me to ask the question. Does he think he is totally without all influence except for Holy Scriptures? Spurgeon who was a self avowed Calvinist also sounded very non- Calvinist in many on his s

I'm aware of the school, but again, have never heard him say he's a Calvinist and have heard him teach things that seem to go against TULIP - mainly that it's our choice whether we follow Jesus or not. Until I get something a bit more concrete I will not think of him as being in that camp.

@weswoodell. He not very vocal or belligerent about it, like many Calvinist but if you do a little web research I think you will discover he is a Calvinist...

[weswoodell]

@rustysruger Have any links to share? I've never heard him affirm Calvinism, and have heard him teach things several times that don't fit with TULIP.

Good stuff Francis. I understand from articles on the web that you are a five point Calvinist and your College teaches Calvinism. So I'll put the same question to you that you put to us...If you sat down with just your Bible nothing else like say Calvin's Institutes or others influences would you still come up with TULIP...Be honest now...

@rustysruger Hi Rusty - I don't think he's a Calvinist.

@rustysruger Well he has the best intentions, we do hear from the world, even as Christains, most the stuff he says im geussing is backed by Gods word though, because he reads it &hears it, talks, walks, and prays it, even though he is human, like us.
