What does Mohler stand stand for? Most of you seem happy, he is Calvinist? Calvinist Leaning?
He's a solid five-pointer, for sure. Lignon Duncan is a good friend of his, along with other good Reformed men. Of course, he is very much a credo, being a Baptist and all. However, not your typical Southern Baptist (if there is such a thing) at all.
Dr. Mohler took what I consider a very liberal seminary and not only made it solidly conservative, but build a faculty with many Calvinist professors. If I were a young man ready to go to seminary, THE Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville is where I would go. As far as the campus, I visited it a couple of times when it was still liberal and the buildings and grounds are beautiful.
But, yes, most here would be pleased with much that Dr. Mohler has written and said. He is a gracious Christian gentleman and a scholar. The SBC could do no better than Dr. Mohler for a president.
I'm going to see about getting the time off from work tomorrow (which will not be a problem) and make more arrangements, including with my church. It's been the mid-80's since I was at a annual meeting, during the Conservative Resurgence.
I'm planning to attend the Pastor's Conference too, just to see and experience it. Believe me, most of you here would not be happy with what you see happen there. I'll certainly be reporting my experiences while in Indy.
