Paul and Augustine were Calvinists. ~~ I don't think St. Paul nor St. Augustine ever heard of John Calvin. Don't you have things bass ackwards?

Saint Paul never heard of Saint Athanasius, either... but Saint Paul was an Athanasian Trinitarian.

How do I know this? Because "Athanasianism" is just a theological catch-phrase which describes "Believing what the Bible teaches on the subject of the Trinity". And Saint Paul believed what the Bible teaches.

Likewise, "Calvinism" is just a theological catch-phrase which describes "Believing what the Bible teaches on the subject of Predestination".

Calvinism also implies schism. I know of no evidence that St. Paul or St. Augustine would subscribe to such an approach as that.
