I'm told it rains a lot in Canada.
[MENTION=60]MoreCoffee[/MENTION]: My use of the term was as a euphemism for a medical check about some serious health problems I have.

Actually, BC does have a heavy rainfall at times. :)

May I ask, without rancour, is your non-denominational theology Calvinistic?
I think what Ephesians 2 teaches would equally be reflected generally in Luther's The Bondage of the Will, so I wonder what real use are labels.

labels are words and have the value common to words - they communicate something.

What I mean is that there is plenty of historical evidence that Luther did not want to be known as a Calvinist. But the basic theology of conversion was in the respects discussed rather similar.

PS:

I can see how the appeal of looking at the text of the New Testament from the point of view of Medieval theological terminology would appeal to some scholars studying the works of Erasmus, for example. I have indeed heard Erika Rummel of the Pontifical Institute of Medieval studies, Toronto, lecture on Erasmus's work. I do think that the NT textual entity which Erasmus presented is to be understood, rather, as a self-standing, normative document, for which labels, whether around particular Reformed preachers or Medieval scholasticism, are not binding.

Maybe you yourself studied there? or perhaps at Sydney?
