I found out over at Ed Stetzer's blog that our very own Dr. Steve Lemke will be part of the upcoming John 3:16 conference later this year at FBC Woodstock. In a letter to Ed Stetzer, Dr. Lemke explains the details of the conference:
Ed,
I’m sure you’re aware of my involvement in the upcoming John 3:16 conference scheduled November 6-7 at FBC Woodstock.
The conference will begin and end with sermons on John 3:16 by Dr. Jerry Vines and by Dr. Charles Stanley. In between, Southern Baptist scholars will be presenting a Biblical response to the well-known tenets of the Presbyterian Synod of Dort:
• Total Depravity - Dr. Paige Patterson (SWBTS)
• Unconditional Election - Dr. Richard Land (ERLC)
• Limited Atonement - Dr. David Allen (SWBTS)
• Irresistible Grace - Dr. Steve Lemke (NOBTS)
• Perseverance of the Saints - Dr. Ken Keathley (SEBTS)
This conference is intended as a majoritarian Southern Baptist response to the “Building Bridges” and “Together for the Gospel” conferences. The announcement of this conference has already provoked considerable buzz and speculation in the blogosphere.
Hope you’ll join us!
Steve Lemke
If anything this should make for a very interesting conference, especially since Calvinism is a hot topic in SBC circles these days. What do you think?

By the way, the Synod of Dordt was Dutch Reformed, not Presbyterian. Interestingly, the 5 points of Calvinism themselves were a response to the 5 points of Jacob Arminius.
Well said.
