Will Southern Baptist TULIPs still bloom at SWBTS?

Enid, Okla., pastor Wade Burleson's TULIPs stand has tip-toed into Christianity Today. It isn't over, they found, for the Calvinist professors Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (SWBTS) president Paige Patterson targeted for layoff. Jim Jones writes:

Randall Easter, a student and five-point Calvinist at SWBTS and pastor of First Baptist Church of Briar, near Fort Worth, told CT that tensions remained on campus over the possible firings. He said that some professors who hold to Calvinism told him they had recently been called into meetings with Patterson.
"They started with four-point and five-point Calvinists," Easter said. "They said they were asked about their soteriology, their view of salvation. They were left with the impression that they may or may not be laid off because of their soteriology."

This theological debate among Southern Baptists over Calvinism is expected to continue. The question is how destructive it will be. Tom Ascol, executive director of the Calvinist-oriented Founders Network, told Christianity Today:

"We need to address these issues like brothers," he said. "If we disagree, okay. It won't be the first time. Let's find where we can agree and link arms in preaching the gospel message. It will be like iron sharpening iron."
