Classical Calvinism is no longer practiced by the vast majority of Reformed churches. I can only think of a couple of small denominations in the United States that attempt to retain classical Calvinism. There are very few denominations that strictly adhere to the teachings of their founders. I doubt that Westley, Calvin, or Luther would want anything to do with any of the Christian denominations that exist today.

We might have had more writings from Servetus if only our humanitarian, America inspiring, good friend Calvin hadn't seen fit to burn him alive over religious disagreements.

Oh well, c'est la vie!

Do not use potty language - or references to potty language - on the Religion Forum.

Oh, but defending the murder of innocents in the name of "heresy" is not "potty language".

Whatever.
