You have been officially snubbed by the swarm (regurgitatus calvinexit getus outahereamus)

Where does this stuff come from? | 11Dec03 | ZinsMeister

[xzins]

There are other clubs that would probably reject me, so I shouldn't feel hurt:

1. Hillary Clinton Fan Club
2. Bill Clinton Kneepad Society
3. All religions that start with the early letters in the alphabet.
4. I got kicked out of glee club in the 8th grade
5. My mom & dad didn't invite me to their wedding

Therefore, this rejection by calvinists is difficult, but my experience with past rejection has made for a "soft landing."

If you've been regurgitatus calvinexit, please take a post to tell your story. The regurgitatus sensitivity group will meet at FR's rostafarian smokers lounge.

to be his witness to the...calvinists

Yep, that's a true story of rejection. They ain't gonna accept you anytime soon.

I commend you as a full "regurgitatus" member. I'll ping the Thread Cop.

[xzins]

Lord High Executioner

Yep. We need one of those. However, since this is a "light-hearted" thread, the executing and slashing should take place on the "Threads of Contention."

The Knights of Regurgiti and the Table of Time sound like they need to be both registered and copyrighted.

Hugo was "da man" wasn't he?

[P-Marlowe]

I commend you as a full "regurgitatus" member. I'll ping the Thread Cop.

Too Late, I knighted him to the Knights of the Eternal Time Table behind your back. Sorry My Liege.

The Calvinists are known as the 5 pointers since you have to subscribe to all five points (unless your are a amicable Amyraldian) but I would suggest that the Knights of the Eternal Time Table subscribe to a single point. The Exclamation Point. We need not explain it, only believe it. Jude 24 proposed it as a 6th point on their Tulip, but I subscribe to it and would propose that we adopt it as our sole criteria for membership. You may define the terms in the point as suits your particular denominational persuasion.

Behold, The Exclamation Point®: "God's ultimate end in election and reprobation is his own glory; in other words, God could not have been better glorified by any other possible combination of events."

Who, among those who have been unconditionally rejected by the council of the Exurge, Calvinisti, et judica causam tuam, will hereby swear allegiance to The Exclamation Point? Make your voices known and ever shall ye be known as the Fraternal Knights of the Exclamation Point®.

[P-Marlowe]

Hugo was "da man" wasn't he?

All I know is that he had some pretty nice red underwear.

[xzins]

I do so swear fealty to the Eternal Exclamation Point.

Hereafter, I will wear the label "One Pointer" with pride.

[jude24]

The 6th point isn't unique to me; I plagarized it from John Piper:

The "seventh" point, the best-of-all-possible worlds, means that God governs the course of history so that, in the long run, His glory will be more fully displayed and His people more fully satisfied than would have been the case in any other world. If we look only at the way things are now in the present era of this fallen world, this is not the best-of-all-possible worlds. But if we look at the whole course of history, from creation to redemption to eternity and beyond, and see the entirety of God's plan, it is the best-of-all-possible plans and leads to the best-of-all-possible eternities. And therefore this universe (and the events that happen in it from creation into eternity, taken as a whole) is the best-of-all-possible-worlds.

--What does John Piper mean when he says he is a 'seven-point' Calvinist?"

[P-Marlowe]

Hereafter, I will wear the label "One Pointer" with pride.

The proper title is "Exclamation Pointer®". You are not a "one pointer" as the numbered points are all on the Tulip. This is an addendum to the points on the tulip. It is only the addendum to which we subscribe.

We are hereby forever known by these presents as the Fraternal Order of the Knights of the Eternal Time Table and members of the High Council of the Eternal Exclamation Point: "!"

All those who have been unconditionally rejected by the Calvinists may seek membership in the Knights of the Eternal Time Table, however fealty to the Eternal Exclamation Point is necessary for election to the High Council of the Exclamation Point.

Shall we develop a secret handshake?

[jude24]

Is membership in the High Council of the Exclamation Point incompatible with membership in the Grand Reformed Ping List?

[P-Marlowe]

You have to be a member of the Knights of the Eternal Time Table to be an Official member of the High Council of the Eternal Exclmation Point. The requirement for membership in the Knights of the Eternal Time Table is that you must have been unconditionally rejected by the Council of the Exurge, Calvinisti, et judica causam tuam.

However we Arminians and non-Calvinists are inclusive rather than exclusive and therefore if you pronounce fealty to the Eternal Exclamation Point and you have not otherwise qualified for membership in the Fraternal Knights of the Eternal Time Table, then you may be granted absolution and may be Granted the title of Honorary Member of The High Council of the Eternal Exclamation Point with Asterik.

Here's your shield: {!*}

secret handshake?

Being a knight of an order, do I also get secret chain mail underroos?

Here's your shield: {!*}
 

Does it come with the Arminian Happy Meal?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And who is this Calvin dude?

I can't help myself and will slip away quietly now.

[RightWhale]

(I don't think anyone is arguing this point)

Hume did. He was deeply into psychologism.

[A.J.Armitage]

But I don't speak Greek.

[P-Marlowe]

But I don't speak Greek.

Just read it.

[connectthedots]

The Calvinists are known as the 5 pointers since you have to subscribe to all five points (unless your are a amicable Amyraldian) but I would suggest that the Knights of the Eternal Time Table subscribe to a single point.

How can this be? Have the Calvinist become heretics to their idol, Calvin; is that John or Klien? Verily I say unto you, the Calvinist of Calvinist proclaimed that all points of Calvinism must be true, for if even one of them is false, they must all be false.Shall the Swarm tolerate the heresy within their midst, even by their Pope Piel? I say he must repent of his heresy or suffer the fate as the heretic Servitus.

[xzins]

Obviously, no arminian happy meal, that being a macdonald's product, an obviously scotch name, and therefore, and obvious presbyterian. (and a lousy, cardboard hamburger.)

We are "Steak and Shake" (for our charismatic brethren) and "Wendy's" lovers (because it's a good tasting burger and Exclamation Pointers are practical people.)

[drstevej]

***Shall the Swarm tolerate the heresy within their midst, even by their Pope Piel?***

Blah, Blah, Blah....  OP says I am a Calvinist, DEAL WITH IT RICO.

If you wish to post a quote which might get you kicked off the Calvinist ping list, then we will consider it for membership in our Fraternal Orders. On the other hand if you wish to apply for honorary membership in the High Council of the Order of the Eternal Exclamation Point with Asterik, then pledge fealty to the Eternal Exclamation point and claim your shield.

If your purpose here is to sow dissention among our ranks (though we be few as the soldiers of Gideon) then we must excommunicate you from our thread.
