The Missionary Baptist and the Calvinist Doctrine on Election Compared

In early 90s, Calvinistic Baptists and Primitive Baptists from the US came into contact with some Missionary Baptists in the Southern Philippines and through those they have persuaded in their Calvinistic doctrines were able to influence many to follow them causing a split to many churches. It was for this reason that Edwin Jardinel made a deeper study of the Scriptures on the defense against Calvinism. The Calvinists often made charges that Baptists who are not Calvinists are Arminians. They classify people in this world as either a Calvinist or an Arminian, that means if a person is not a Calvinist, then he is an Arminian. True Baptists are neither Calvinists nor Arminians but Biblicists. True Baptists are people of the Divine Book and do not rely on man-made doctrines.
