Ah. Belief will put me on Calvin’s list of the predetermined, will it? Nice. Okay then, I believe. Now do I get my post-dunk get out of hell free card? Or is this a different subset of Protestant heresy?

A close examination of closely held beliefs is always instructive, isn’t it?

You need to read the Bible more, Mark.

No, it is the reverse. No, it is not Calvin's list. Those God predetermines will believe. (Rom. 8:29-30) Calvin just recognized that in the Bible.

Dunking has nothing to do with getting out of hell. You are referring to the Apostolic view that baptism is salvational. I will agree with you that it is heresy, though. :)
