The New Calvinist Takeover of Southwood Presbyterian Church: Part 4; Jean F. Larroux, III is Pure New Calvinism
As I peruse the Southwood website blog, it is saturated with New Calvinist doctrine; there may not be a finer specimen than Jean Larroux, III, hereafter, “LM3.” This is good for me because I was getting ready to write a series of articles on Ligon Duncan who is much more nuanced than LM3. Ligon Duncan is one of the “Core Four” of the T4G conferences that is doing damage control and spin concerning the former president of SGM ministries, CJ Mahaney, who is also one of the Core Four. CJ Mahaney is a serial propagator of parishioner abuse, and there are several SGM expose blogs that document his abuses—that’s why he had to step down. Apparently, Duncan, as a “pastor,” is completely indifferent to this reality.
As I look through the site, I think I will address this particular post first: Idolatry, Self-righteousness and other confessions of a Homeschooling father…(Monday, September 26, 2011). This is LM3’s repost of an article by New Calvinist Reb Bradley. My post on the Bradley article is here: http://wp.me/pmd7S-Us .
Also, I noticed that LM3 has done a series on Galatians. He probably toed the NC line that the apostle Paul was teaching that synergistic sanctification is a false gospel. I address that here: http://wp.me/pmd7S-KC . You can click on the pages to make them bigger if needed.
Also, no surprise, it looks like LM3 uses the New Calvinist view of the Pharisees as well. Here is an excerpt from The Truth About New Calvinism that deals with that: Chapter 2

Paul's Passing Thoughts 
The “CHIEF REPENTER”
“Jean F. Larroux, III is Pure New Calvinism” – you see it in the language and procedure.
Notice Southwood Website Pastor’s Note: November 16, 2011:
“Men serving as officers at Southwood should be the CHIEF REPENTERS in the pews, at home and in personal relationships.”
Larroux is a guy who follows New Calvinism instructions. Notice in Jay E. Adams’ book (Biblical Sonship, An Evaluation of the Sonship Discipleship Course) on page 11:
“This seems evident from the way in which Sonshippers are taught to flagelate themselves through a life of constant and repeated repentance. The Sonship Manual, for instance, explains that “leaders are meant to be the CHIEF REPENTERS.”

Bill,
Great observation. I did a little paralleling of quotes in the book, but I have no doubt that a side by side chart could be done showing the kinship of this movement from beginning to end. New Calvinism IS SONSHIP AND GOSPEL SANCTIFICATION AND NCT. IT’S ALL THE SAME.
