With the bizarre revivals of 312 Azuza Street in 1906, the Kundalini spirit is a relatively ‘new kid on the block’ that came to town in the 1960’s with the Maharishis (and now ‘channeling’ via the likes of the Johnsons, the Joyners, the Bentleys, the Crowders, et al). Being in the wrong place at the right time could still get one ‘saved by default.’ Like it or not, the preacher of true grace is predominantly Calvinistic however ignorant or objective he may be ~ L.J
“..One of the greatest proofs of the truth of the doctrines emphasized by Calvin, what is known as 'Calvinism' - though I have already said I do not like these terms - is John Wesley. He was a man who was saved in spite of his muddled and erroneous thinking. The grace of God saved him in spite of himself. That is Calvinism! If you say, as a Calvinist, that a man is saved by his understanding of doctrine you are denying Calvinism. He is not. We are all saved in spite of what we are in every respect. Thus it comes to pass that men who can be so muddled, because they bring in their own human reason, as John Wesley and others did, are saved men and Christians, as all of us are, because it is 'all of the grace of God' and in spite of us." ~ Martin Lloyd-Jones on sola grace.
