YBIC,

| Posted 6/4/2002 4:40 PM (GMT -6) | | In answer to Winghead's question, Open Theists were not invited to sign the document only because it would have obviously been self-serving. WE are those whose "evangelicalism" is in question.
But, there is hope. Amen?

Then, its a good thing they did the document, now, before everyone converts to Open Theism!  Seriously, it is good to see people making a stand like that, and interesting to see who puts there names on the list.

| Posted 6/4/2002 6:57 PM (GMT -6) | | I am on foreknowledge group that includes Roger and when he posted it there you should heard the reformed members take exception to every little thing that wasn't "spelled" out. Is there hope? I constantly wonder...

Hey writerdad-
If you get a chance, ask Roger what sort of guidelines they used to determine which scholars to propose signing the document. Was it just members of the ETS? Was there a general invitation sent out to all Evangelical seminaries? I was wondering.

| Posted 6/5/2002 4:26 PM (GMT -6) | | Tom: Roger said that there were no basic guidelines, that he and his co-authors simply asked some friends they knew and asked them to spread the word around. He said most of those who signed it signed it without being asked. Harold

Harold-
Check my preferences page and email me the url for the site you speak of, if you wouldn't mind.
I was interested (for personal reasons) to see Gordon Fee's name. And I was surprised that Bill Craig didn't sign. I know he reeealy doesn't like the open view but I understood he didn't want open theists ousted from the ETS and that he was in favor of continuing dialogue on the issues.
