So there exists a lack of any evidence that He was not a former Calvinist.

And the word themselves?
It can be read either way
but it needs consistency with the rest of scripture
John 3:16For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.
Acts 16:31And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household!”
Rom 10:9–10that if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
Eph 2:8–9For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast.
Mark 16:16The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who refuses to believe will be condemned.
Acts 2:21And it will be that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Rom 1:16For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
John 5:24Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
John 11:25–26Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die forever. Do you believe this?”
1 John 5:13These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.
John 6:47Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life.

Dr. Leighton Flowers is not a Calvinist. He is a former Calvinist who has since become a prominent advocate for Traditional Southern Baptist theology, often referred to as provisionism. Flowers has criticized Calvinism and its doctrines, particularly regarding original sin and predestination, and has shifted his theological views to emphasize the role of the Holy Spirit in salvation and grace.
If he was falsifying his credentials word would be out big time. You would never hear the end of it.

Sigh. If this is true.... then why does the Bible indicates that all believers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of their lives (Romans 14:10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:10.)?
Billy Graham wrote,"Someday we each will die and stand before God to give an account of our lives"
So I posted the following question "If God does not remember our sins then why must we face judgement"
Ai ~ Believers are judged not for salvation, but to assess their works and determine eternal rewards. While God does not hold sins against them, their actions during life will still be evaluated at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
Understanding God's Judgment and Forgiveness
God's Promise of Forgiveness
God promises in the Bible that He will "remember our sins no more" (Jeremiah 31:34). This means that He chooses not to hold our sins against us in terms of punishment. Believers are justified through faith in Jesus Christ, which grants them forgiveness and freedom from the penalty of sin.The Nature of Judgment
While believers are forgiven, they will still face a judgment known as the Judgment Seat of Christ. This judgment is not about salvation but rather about assessing the lives of believers based on their actions and faithfulness.Types of Judgment
There are two main types of judgment for believers:- Great White Throne Judgment: This is for the unsaved and determines eternal separation from God.
- Judgment Seat of Christ: This evaluates the works of believers to determine their eternal rewards. It considers both good and bad actions, as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:10.
Purpose of Judgment
The purpose of this judgment is to assess how believers have lived out their faith and to reward them accordingly. It emphasizes accountability and encourages believers to serve God faithfully.In summary, God's promise to forget our sins relates to salvation and punishment, while the judgment believers face is about rewards and the quality of their service to Him.
Tulip is contrary to scripture
John 20:31 (KJV 1900) — 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
