CalvinISM is a heady roundup of theological thoughts composed of 1,000,000 words and 40 scripture verses. Sitting on the shelf, it is mostly benign.
The CalvinIST is another animal altogether. He takes the theology from the shelf and imagines that he has substantially closed the gap described in Isa. 55:9. Taking himself quite seriously, not being a good listener, and believing himself to be theological royalty, he is out to re-proselytize the evangelical church. For him, it is less a theology and more a personality trait.
Wow.

Perfect.
There. Fixed it.
Cordially,
