How do you like THEM Calvinists!?

As first reported by The Christian Post, it is very interesting to see the theological background and position of the top 2 of the top 25 list multiplying churches in America! #1 is Tim Keller’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church (New York, NY), and #2 is Mark Driscoll’s Mars Hill Church (Seattle, WA) (–not to be confused with the highly emergent Mars Hill Bible Church of Grandville, MI that Rob Bell pastors). Given the misconception that Calvinists don’t care about evangelism and missions, the list clearly shows that we really do care and are doing the best we can at making the Good News known to the lost!

The top 25 list was compiled by ranking the top 40 respondents using such self-reported criteria as the total number of church plants, the average number of churches planted each year, the percentage of budget dedicated to church planting, and the number of daughter churches that have planted a new church.

Calvinists are not few but are plenty in this world — especially in the US of A — and especially among them “younger” evangelicals!

And as Mark Dever of 9 Marks Ministries correctly asks, Where’d All These Calvinists Come From?
