Question: What is the “Cage Stage”?
Answer: Jesus states: “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.” (Matthew 12:33) The fruit of Calvinist conversion is sometimes one of extreme arrogance, in which the convert proclaims their new found perspective by looking down upon other Christians as being inferior. In fact, what further instills the sense of superiority above others, is when Calvinists term themselves as “Reformed.” It can get so bad, that some end up likening Calvinism to a cult. Thus the tree which produces a “Cage Stage” is rotten.
