LIVE Q&A Episode #11 Dr. Leighton Flowers takes questions LIVE on Soteriology 101. Here are some of the questions on the docket: Did you see James White’s rebuttal of Allen’s article, yet? Thoughts?

Was there one main point that led you to start questioning Calvinism and how can we get others to see that too?
