UPDATE: Now, I just wanted to add that it just occurred to me that Caryl Matrisciana MAY have been into the Rushdoonyite Reconstructionist sort of Calvinism that I've been running into on facebook lately. If so, then I would tend to agree with her on many of her points.
Her site also appears to be down for maintenance so you won't get to read her anti calvinist materials until that's done.

I have skimmed over Brenda's testimony and jotted down some comments, as well as given a rather cursory glance at the 300 page (!) refutation of Calvinism by Caryl herself. She has effectively thrown much of the discernment community under the bus.
The most obvious problem is Caryl's assertion that Calvinism is something of a 'mind control' cult.
The more I read the more astounded I was at her complete lack of understanding of theology and Scripture regarding grace, sin, a Biblical anthropology, and sanctification. These are MAJOR ISSUES that deeply affect soteriology and the gospel itself.

I will try to go through it more carefully as I have time, but I don't know how long that will be. For now, there it is for you to check out for yourself.
