I read somewhere a breakdown between Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians that were the founding fathers. Note even close. Baptists over 90%. Don’t try to claim Calvanism was the founding force it was Protestantism.

You "read somewhere"? Yeah, right. Post your citations.

The fact is, Calvinism is Christianity that includes Romans 9 in its Bible; and most of the Founders were overwhelmingly Calvinists.

Not a single singer of the Declaration of Independence was Baptist. By contrast, 49 out of the 56 Signers of the Declaration were covenanted members of EXPLICITLY Calvinistic denominations, who adhered to EXPLICITLY Calvinist Creeds. (For that matter, back then, even most American Baptists were good "Old School Baptist" Calvinists, not modern apostate "New School Baptist" Free-Willers).

actually, I did a little googling and found that it was 57% Episcopalian, 23% Congregationalist, 21% Presbyterian,3% Quaker, etc

Why do I need a system of points to codify a belief if it is evident from the bible?

How does the protestant belief of “sola scriptura” that people died for, stand if I also require a system of points of belief?

Just some questions....it seems to be we have replaced one pope with another.

I believe in “sola sciptura” and the priesthood of the believer, in that we should all work out our salvation, with fear and trembling rather than rest on non-cannonical writings and musings of men. (and the Bible is NOT that - it ‘s divinely breathed, through the agency of God-fearing men)
