A Note on the Gospel & False Peace-Speaking Among Calvinists

The following statement was not articulated by me, but I am in full agreement with it.
"Rom 1:16-17 says that the gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation, reveals the righteousness of God. Rom 10:3 says that those who are ignorant of this righteousness of God revealed in the gospel are unregenerate. Mrk 16:16 says that those who do not believe the gospel are unregenerate. 2Jn 1:9 says that those who do not abide in the doctrine of Christ are unregenerate. Gal 1:6-9 says that anyone who preaches a different gospel than the gospel of the Apostles is unregenerate. Do Arminians believe the gospel? Are Arminians ignorant of the righteousness of God revealed in the gospel? Do Arminians abide in the doctrine of Christ? Do Arminians believe and preach a different gospel?"
I would add to this: Do Moderate Calvinists speak peace to Arminians, and do High Calvinists or Sovereign Grace religionists (such as David Engelsma, Sonny Hernandez, and Scott Price) tolerate the Moderate Reformers as errant brethren? If so, then 2 John 11 says that the most hardcore High Calvinists and Sovereign Grace religionists are just as lost as their errant brethren whom they tolerate. (It even looks like David Engelsma and Shawn Lazar consider each other to be spiritual brethren! So, everything that Engelsma has written against universal atonement and Arminianism, and people like Roger Olson, is hypocritical and vain.)
What a vast and diverse spiritual brothel professing Christendom is!
