Hi Robert. Nice to have you join us on line.
"I know that Calcidius is a fifth century theologian who apparently held to some tenets of Open Theism."
The "apparently" qualification isn't necessary. I've studied Calcidius' work "On Fate" and both his views and the ways he defends them are identical to those espoused by Open Theists today.
Have there been any other findings of similar thinkers in the early church?
Doc: No. But I always joke that they probably all belonged to the same yet-as-discovered-early-church-group which believed in *salvation by grace through faith *adult only baptism *the automatic salvation of infants *the symbolic understanding of baptism *the Methodist view of sanctification as a second work of grace *the Pentecostal view of Spirit baptism as a second work of grace *TULIP *the Bible as the sole foundation for faith and *congregation polity.

Doc, are you saying that none of these doctrines have any merit to you? You seem to be saracastic toward them.
BTW, I am not a Calvinist; therfore I do not believe in TULIP. Nor am I Pentecostal. I lean more toward the Anabaptists. Are you implying that I cannot be Anabaptist and Open Theist at the same time?
Thanks & May GOD Bless You,
B. Winningham
