It was Luther who described Calvin as a "good soul." It sounds like you are a "small business owner." Besides Baptists can't really be Calvinists, they don't baptize infants.David Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966977894876326659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-43307918733356221262015-02-17T21:15:29.203-06:002015-02-17T21:15:29.203-06:00Calvinism is an evil false doctrine finding much a...Calvinism is an evil false doctrine finding much approval in these end times apostate churches. I attended a Calvinistic leaning Regular Baptist church for almost 20 years. Their fruits are rotten. Especially if you are a small business owner and have the misfortune of conducting business with them. Their hero's fruits (John Calvin's) fruits were also rotten. They are modern day pharisees who twist the scriptures and do not enter the kingdom of heaven and prevent those from doing so who they proselytize.oldnickdonalds farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797103568395348726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-4959079743893969972013-12-18T10:56:34.173-06:002013-12-18T10:56:34.173-06:00When I was coming through Calvinism on my way to t...When I was coming through Calvinism on my way to the Missouri Synod, there was a quote I heard many times. "Luther just didn't go far enough; Calvin finished the Reformation."<br /><br />Indeed, the second half of the quote is apropos. Calvin really did "FINISH" the Reformation. Luther didn't stop short of the destination. Change the quote to: "Calvin took the Reforms of Luther (and his fellows) too far."Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.com
