Calling All Calvinists: A Call To Repentance (Monica Dennington response)
Here is Monica Dennington, unleashing her diatribe against Calvinism and Calvinists on Tic Toc Ministries. Again, this is another example of people who have a belief system that whatever they say is scriptural and if you do not agree with them, you do not agree with God himself. Here is her video and a couple of video responses, one of which is by Dr. James White and the other by YouTube channel JoshnJesus.
It is evident by her very poor attempt to dismantle Reformed Theology (Calvinism) that she is ignorant of several things. She does not know church history at all and why we even have Christianity in the USA. She does not even know what the core doctrines are in scripture, that we who are reformed in our theology hold fast to. She did not mention one. Monica, also for some reason can't seem to get it in her head that just as Charles Spurgeon said "It is a nickname to call it Calvinism". Just as it is a nickname to call Monica's theology "Arminianism" No one is following John Calvin, just as Monica is not a follower of Arminius.
Again, these attempts to say that Calvinists follow Calvin and that are not saved are outlandish and ignorant. And what is even more outlandish is that Monica herself has a non-biblical view of the Trinity. Saying that the Holy Spirit is a girl and feminine in gender which is biblically in error and ridiculous.
She is not the first one to make these claims about Calvinism. I have even heard a very popular preacher in Midland, Michigan also make the similar claims that Calvinism is a "Damnable Doctrine" and that it will "Damn your soul". This was very, very disappointing to me!
So Monica is calling all Calvinists to Repent. Here are just a few of these Evil Calvinists, dead and alive. I guess the living ones better repent, because the dead ones must be burning in hell according to Monica's call to repentance.
Historical Preachers/Teachers that where Calvinists:
Augustine
A.W. Towzer
Richard Baxter
Thomas Boston
John Calvin (the devil himself who studied the text verse by verse/authored the Christian Institutes)
Jonathan Edwards (preached sinners in the hands of an angry God)
John Flavel
A.A. Hodge
John Knox
John Newton
A.W. Pink
John Bunyan (Author of Pilgrims Progress/10 years in prison for preaching the gospel)
John Owen
Charles Spurgeon (another "Evil" Calvinist who preached repentance and Christ Crucified)
Thomas Watson
John Gill
Martin Luther (started the protestant reformation)
C.S. Lewis - (quite the Calvinist when it comes to the mortification of sin)
Here are just a hand full of current "Evil" Calvinists:
Dr. R.C. Sproul - (several of his theological books are used in many churches today)
Dr. James White
Steve Camp
Dr. John Frame
Dr. Wayne Grudem - (wrote Grudem's Systematic Theology, used in many colleges and churches today, many do not know he is a "Reformed Charismatic" and they us his material.
Sinclair Ferguson
J.I. Packard
Dr. D. James Kennedy
Dr. Albert Mohler
Paul Washer
Dr. Thomas Ascol
Dr. John Piper
Matt Slick - Reformed Charismatic
Mark Kielar - Cross TV
Dr. John MacArthur
Kirk Camereon -(guilty by association)WOTM radio
Ray Comfort -(guilty by association) WOTM radio
Todd Friel -(host of Wretched Radio)
Del Tackett - the author\teacher of the "Truth Project" and founder of New Geneva Seminary.
I think that this goes to further prove how ridiculous Monica's claims are that these people need to repent or else. Folks need to study the scriptures/church history and stop taking everything the Dennington's and even a Midland, Michigan preacher's word as gospel truth!
We need to study the scriptures just as intently as the men listed above have done!
by His Grace alone,
Bill

Monica's main point is that Calvinists follow man's teachings not the Bible. So how do you respond? By listing off a bunch of Calvinist names that you follow!
Wow.
Jeff-We don't follow theologians we follow scripture!!! Did you not pay attention when that was said? I believe whole heartedly in reformed theology because it is clearly the word of God! I don't even agree will all of Calvin's theological beliefs! Like the guy said, how many of us need to make that clear? Also, Monica keeps talking about division among "brothers" and division in the "church". Those are keys words. The Bible doesn't say don't disagree with people who simply claim the name of Christ, he says don't divide with actual believers! In which case when there has been a true transformation of heart and you are truly a believer who believes in the truths of the Bible there won't be division! Unfortunately for many, the word of God falls on deaf ears. The Bible makes election painfully clear. No, it is not an easy doctrine to except Because, of our carnal minds however, that doesn't take away from the fact that it is truth and that is what we are called to believe despite your personal feelings! Remember, the heart is deceitful. Also, please remember that we don't think we are above you, we just know that God has revealed an amazing truth to us. That being said, a true reformist and Christian would never stop giving the Gospel to all who will hear! We have no idea who is elect and we are called by our Savior to give The Word to all the creatures! Never would we believe that witnessing is a waste. Please, dig into your Bibles and try to hear God's truth. Pray earnestly every time you open your Bible that God will open your eyes and your heart.
Monica is a Delusion Self Willed Feminist, Sudo.
Amongst many others, I too have tried to Debate her in a Public forum (Namely Facebook) but she blocked me. She has no ability to stand in the arena of Truth and Accountability; but as long as she can BLither away on Youtube and other Public Media Venues she has all the self esteem she needs to assert in her own mind that something spiritual affirms her authority to Trash whatever she sees fit to trash, regardless of whether she she knows any ounce of truth whatsoever. May the Lord Grant her Grace and Humility to see the Cross for what it truly is and cry out in agony for the Hammering of her idols and lies that seem to have more control over her bird brain than anything else. She makes me mad, because she does a lot of damage, But I must trade my anger for praying for her, lest I run a froth at my mouth against her. (Sorry for my lack of Punctuation)
