"Old Calvinism was cessationistic and fearful of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. New Calvinism is continuationist and joyful in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit." Is New Calvinism no longer cessationist? DO they believe the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today now? :D Wow! Awesome! ;) Here's something I've always wondered about: If God is sovereign, that means His will is always accomplished, right? 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." Does God's will (which is sovereign, as we've all been taught" always come true, or not? God does not want (it is not His will) that anybody perish, and that ALL mankind come to repentence. But scripturally speaking (and in reality), that doesn't happen, does it? :) Interesting. “Old Calvinism was cessationistic and fearful of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
