If you are speaking in terms of what you believe, yes. If you are speaking in terms of what the majority believes, then no.

You seem to have a problem with my taking the Bible as my core authority on everything. It supercedes all creeds and doctrinal dissertations. Ironic, that a person who proclaims to be a Calvinist would have a problem with that stance. Even John Calvin would agree that the creed should be tested by Scripture. Apparently, you are prone to accepting more sources as authoritative than Mr. Calvin was. No?

Have you been taking polls?

Why do you think they call it "The Five Points of Calvinism"? Because a mere 5 points is not the sum and substance of Calvinism.

Everybody thinks they beleive some form of sola Scriptura. I happen to think that everything that defines Real Calvinism® is based on the Bible alone. You suggested it was dung. The only difference I can see is that your interpretation of some things vis-a-vis the Bible doesn't mesh with Calvin's interpretation of those same things. Which one is actually dung is left to the reader.
