Unfortunately it seems that Wesleyans like it and teach it to their flock.

I see no one teaching it RN. Nor do you. I see a lot of discussion. You know the difference.

Gregory Boyd gives a strong and accessible argument for views that challenge some traditional theological positions. Many will disagree, but fair-minded readers will come to understand both that the “open God” position is motivated by a desire to be faithful to the Bible and that it is consistent with both classical Christian orthodoxy and evangelical distinctives. Boyd himself provides a fine example of how evangelical Christians may disagree in a loving and respectful manner.

Thanks for the quote from a Calvinist:>). Can you find me one from a Wesleyan?? :>))

We had a Wesleyan pastor posting here for a while that was a definite proponent of the doctrine.

Vernon and xzins seem to have embraced it. People always teach from their own belief position.

I will say that it was my experience that in Wesleyan circles the denial of Foreknowledge is common and taught..that is the building block Boyde builds his system on, so it is a simple move.
