		<description><![CDATA[As an evangelical Christian pastor, I&#8217;m not sure there is a more polemical issue within evangelicalism than the soteriological debate between Calvinists and Arminians. This should not surprise us. The debate, which first began not with John Calvin and Jacobus Arminius, but with St. Augustine and Pelagius, has been raging for 1,500 years. Personally, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=exaltingtruth.com&amp;blog=7297523&amp;post=1795&amp;subd=tobytoburen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In addressing the problem of worldliness in the evangelical Church, the Cambridge Declaration states&#8230; &#8220;As evangelical faith has become secularized, its interests have been blurred with those of the culture. The result is a loss of absolute values, permissive individualism, and a substitution of wholeness for holiness, recovery for repentance, intuition for truth, feeling for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=exaltingtruth.com&amp;blog=7297523&amp;post=1788&amp;subd=tobytoburen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
