Some of you may remember a conversation I had with Evangelist Tony Nolan back in April. I simply challenged the Invitation System that is used by most evangelicals today. Of couse as a Calvinist, challenging anyone's method of bringing people to Christ is quickly seen as mean and nasty.
Since most people misunderstand Calvinists it is hard to explain to people why we believe what we believe. There are so many Traditions that must be scaled in order to clear the air so-to-speak.
Today I came across a recording of a Question and Answer session that involved Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones. Jones was a famous preacher who lectured on preaching at the Philadelphia Westminster Seminary many years ago. That lecture series was put into book format and has been used as a text book for many since. In this clip he answers the question of why he opposes the Finney style (now evangelical) of evangelism.
Perhaps he may shed some light for those who oppose Calvinism as being an anti-evangelistic system.
