Did Calvinism Really Start with the Apostles? Answering Allie Beth Stuckey

About this sermon

In a recent discussion, Leighton Flowers responded to Allie Beth Stuckey’s claim that Calvinism traces back to the Apostles and represents the original teaching of Scripture. He walked through the historical record, the real diversity within the Reformation, and why equating “Reformed” with “Calvinist” distorts what actually happened. This clip explored forgotten reformers, disputed theology at Dort, and the early church’s rejection of determinism—painting a far more complex story than the one Allie presented.
