[QUOTE="GermanicBroccoli, post: 1519461, member: 23109"] You should read Bavinck's and Mueller's books and read the Lutheran and Calvinist confessions, if you want to know about the two classical Evangelical traditions. Most Protestants nowadays are crypto-Catholics/Orthodox in regards to soteriology; they are synergists, which Lutherans and Calvinists reject as unbiblical. The essential part of Sola Gratia is unconditional election. There are holy paradoxes in Scripture. Here is an article on the differences between Lutheran and Calvinist predestination, which mentions this point.
