Charlie Ray: From Hillbillyism to Reformed Theology

A former Hillbilly (an American Southerner with few to no theological roots or depth of note, depth or significance) explains his maturation through Pentecostalism, including a Wesleyan seminary, and American loondom into maturity and Reformed thought.   On occasion, Charlie still evinces that backwoods ethos in terms of argumentativeness, lack of class, impatience and hasty imputations, borne of his long (and justifiable) contempt and disgust with/for the Arminian exhorters.  But, he is maturing.  This is a good word.  It's a good word for American Hillbillies. Charlie's perseverence offered theological dividends. He researched, he hung in there with HM's Word, he read, he debated and he emerged.  H/T to such perseverence. God showed him mercy, grace and perseverence.
