This blog post shows a chart that shows the soteriological differences between The Great News, Calvinism and Arminianism.

PRINCIPLE

CALVINISM

ARMINIANISM

 RECONCILIATIONISM

VIA FULFILLMENT CALLED THE GREAT NEWS
Is there freewill among Man No. Yes. Yes.
God Creates All? Yes Yes Yes
Does God know all things? Yes Yes Yes
Does He know who will accept Him? Yes, because He elects them Yes, by His foreknowledge Yes 
Does He know who will reject Him? Yes – He elects them Yes, by their 

own free will

 Yes – in this life and the next. 
Who will God save? Those He elects Those who choose Him All from Satan, hell and death.  Those who walk by faith to His Kingdom
Who will go to hell?  All not elected by Him All who do not choose Him Hell is over by the Victory of His Son
Will God have victory? Yes – but only in those He elects No – because of the free will of man Yes – total victory – by and through His Son.

End Game?

God chooses to save only some. He sends the rest to a burning hell.

Few saved – though God would like to save them but can’t because of their will.

 All are reconciled to God by and through the victory of His Son – some choose to believe initially (on earth), most will believe ultimately, (in the eternities) some believe but will not receive inevitably (ever). They belong to and join the Dark forevermore.

In order of his nature, Shawn McCraney is an artist, a seeker of Truth and authentic expression, an iconoclast and a punk who maintains a large dose of suspicion for cultures, institutions, and consumerism and the marketing that surrounds it. He is an admitted Christian Anarchist who allows only Christ to serve as King in his life and rejects most of the demands that come from society, government, cultures and organized religion. He diligently seeks the Father in spirit and truth and everything he does is a reflection of these authentic heart-felt aims. In the last twenty years of his life he has become an independent student of the biblical narrative.

Shawn McCraney has dedicated his life to pursuing an authentic relationship with God and teaching others what he has learned along the way.
