The Chopping Block // Reformed Theology

I grew up in a Church of God In Christ, which is predominantly Black Christian denomination. While I was growing up there was never any discussion of the Calvinist position on Soteriology.  It was assumed that every human being had free will and if they ended up in hell it was because of their own free will choice to deny Christ. We never really discussed any other train of thought. As an adult, I've realized that it way more complicated than I thought. It is my experience that many African-American Christians do not discuss or concern themselves with Soteriological issues beyond being born again and going on to serve God as much as their White brothers and sisters. This is why I really like the following video because it's four black Christians honestly discusses it and given that they don't have the same background and experiences as guys like James White, John Piper, Leighton Flowers, or any of the prominent scholars that I see discuss these things. That is why it is interesting.
