Talk:Clark Pinnock

From Theopedia

A lot of prominent evangelicals would have a problem labelling Pinnock as an evangelical. -Aaronshaf 13:46, 3 January 2006 (EST)

I agree. You are free to modify if you want. FYI, in Wikipedia article on same, it reports that he was charged with deviating from the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) statement of faith -- with his dismissal in view. Yet upon review and questioning by some official body of ETS, his dismissal was voted down. Gomarus 13:51, 3 January 2006 (EST)

I would hold Pinnock as an Evangelical, with caution that is. It's already hard enough these days trying to even define what an Evangelical is, but despite his Open Theist views he is rather Evangelical. Also, oddly enough he did not disagree with the ETS statement of faith. The statement requires memebers to agree to inerrancy and the Trinity - that's it. Open theism denies neither, and is a hermeneutical issue, not an issue in inerrancy. Either ETS needs to revise their statement of faith or learn to live with Pinnock.
