Follow Up on Abraham Juliot

A previous post of mine concerning Abraham Juliot and Hyper-Calvinism has caused a small stir amongst mutual friends. My intention in the post was not so much to provide a polemic writing but rather to state a disagreement and warning. I felt that something needed to be said as these teachings greatly undermine the Reformed understanding of scripture in which our circle of friends has found a home. The warning was more or less to say, “To all those concerned: Please be aware that the orthodox Reformed faith is in serious opposition to these teachings. Do not be confused about what is being said. The Reformed community as a whole warns about these things as being dangerous.” The public withdrawal of my support of Abraham was necessary.
I have since had conversation with this brother. He feels that the links I provided misrepresent what he personally believes. Surely, this is most unfortunate. I would remind my readers that Abraham’s writings can be found here. (Specifically the post entitled ‘6 Reasons Why I am Not a 5 Point Calvinist’ will show these views.) The links to articles that I gave were only intended as a resource of information explaining the error of those who embrace hyper-calvinistic beliefs and the dangers of holding them. I am in the process of writing a response specifically addressing Abe’s words. In the mean time, I am still concerned with His views of eternal justification, anti-duty faith, denial of what is commonly called ‘the general call’ of the gospel, and what I see as minimizing the responsibility of man.
My previous post stands as stated.

Grace and Peace,
Joshua

Abraham Juliot... A Retraction of Support

It brings me great sorrow to announce that I can no longer in good conscience support the writings of Abraham Juliot. He has begun propagating teachings that seem, in my judgment, worthy of caution. Many within the orthodox reformed faith warn of these teachings. I share this concern. He has replied here.
