Doug Wilson finally discards the sheep sweater
I've been critical of 'Federal Vision' people not just for their poisonous doctrine but mainly because they dishonestly self-identify as Reformed and Calvinist when they are anything but. They do this to gain the attention the pure doctrine gives and to also do damage from within the camp, so to speak, in classic fifth columnist fashion. If they didn't do this no one would pay any attention to them, or they'd be seen as just another group with bad theology. Now Doug Wilson - basically their front man and lead singer - has decided to come out of the closet and declare what he really is (what he's really been all along) a cultic theonomist and a neo-orthodox - Barthian, Shepherdite - Reformed theologian. I.e., not Reformed at all. This eases the tension. Now I can just make fun of him without feeling like I have to kill him; like he's a Muslim now who merely smokes hashish and talks big rather than being a Muslim attempting to force his way through the Gates of Vienna...
