Episode notes
Friendly Fellowship With A Calvinist Critic
- Mike Winger and James White met for lunch and friendly discussion despite theological differences.
- Winger emphasizes treating Calvinist brothers in fellowship despite disagreements.

- Winger argues Scripture does not clearly teach that single restricted divine intention and cites passages implying broader intent.
