Then Doug joined our church. He started teaching a Bible study. He came from Grace Community Church where he sat under John McArthur. He taught a Bible study called Foundations of the Faith. Around this time I also started listening to R.C. Sproul and John Piper. I read books by all three men as well as continued my study with Doug. Without knowing it, I became a 5-point Calvinist who believed in God’s Sovereignty as God being in meticulous control of everything. “There isn’t a rouge molecule in the universe.” This led me to think of God as an author.
My fourth change of mind was from simple belief that Jesus was the Son of God and paid for my sin so I could be forgiven and gain eternal life to full-blown Calvinism.
