Can You Call a Catholic a Christian? Calvin Did. (with J.D. Hall)

Right Response Podcast

In part two of a discussion with Jordan “J.D.” Hall, the hosts continue addressing accusations of ecumenical compromise around the upcoming NXR “Christ is King” conference, asking where common ground ends and theological compromise begins. They debate how the word “Christian” should be used, arguing it can describe those who affirm core creedal claims about Jesus without asserting certainty about individual regeneration, citing Acts 11:26 and examples from Calvin, Luther, and Spurgeon. They contend critics equate “Christian” with personal conversion due to imprecise evangelical language, and they criticize reformed pietism for valuing small influence as proof of purity while a “counter-reformation” draws evangelicals toward Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The episode explains a strategy: NXR targets broad culture and politics under Christ’s kingship while Right Response provides deeper theological resources.
