You added the word ONLY to my statement.

The Not So Secret RaptureAs far as the original subject of it all is concerned, it's more than obvious that Calvinists as a group (as well as its founder) consider the circle representing Calvinism to perfectly overlap the circle representing Christianity (as I've demonstrated multiple times in a previous post). If not, they wouldn't characterize Roman Catholics, and everyone else not Calvinist but claiming to be Christian, as heretics and have felt themselves justified numerous times over the past few centuries in Europe in persecuting them, outlawing them, jailing them, confiscating their property, and even taking their lives in the name of their version of Christianity. Just as a reminder, let me provide you a quote from the leader of the pack in his Defense of the Orthodox Belief of the Sacred Trinity against the Prodigious Errors of Michael Servetus.

And of course they believe that Christianiy [sic]=Calvinism ONLY
You've misstated me [sic] post again.
I, nor anyone here, has written the word "only" in that sentence. Only you.
Do either of you believe Roman Catholicism = Christianity?
Are you ashamed of your beliefs?

"Whoever shall maintain that wrong is done to heretics and blasphemers in punishing them makes himself an accomplice in their crime and guilty as they are. There is no question here of man's authority; it is God who speaks, and clear it is what law he will have kept in the church, even to the end of the world. Wherefore does he demand of us a so extreme severity, if not to show us that due honor is not paid him, so long as we set not his service above every human consideration, so that we spare not kin, nor blood of any, and forget all humanity when the matter is to combat for His glory." as quoted in History of Political Thought in the Sixteenth Century, J.W. Allen, London, 1951, p. 87.
