Jay Green explains that Reformed theology was not attempting to replace previous Christian theology, but instead was clarifying the Biblical doctrines of the Church Fathers and the Scriptures. Green (1971: 7).
Twitter version II
The Reformed theological movement went from the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries and was a break from Roman Catholic leadership and teaching.
Twitter version III
Divine sovereignty was an important emphasis of this movement. Grenz, Guretzki, and Nordling (1999: 101).

Within British Columbia, I have found that modern Reformed, biblical churches and/or churches with Reformed teaching tend to be under the cultural umbrella of evangelical churches. I do write on this website in regards to what I understand as some classic differences between Reformed theology and typical evangelical theology.

Pastor Courson
I am certainly more Reformed theologically than Pastor Courson, but I appreciate his online teaching and use his commentary series. I agree with him in regards to (paraphrased) withholding from dogmatic views in judgement in regards to persons in both love and truth. God is the ultimate judge of humanity (Revelation 20-22, Hebrews 9: 27 and for believers specifically, 2 Corinthians 5: 10).
