Look back at some of the posts..you wanted to make doublepredestination the test..but that is not the test...then you wanted to make Eucharist the test ..but that is not the test..

No, I didn't. They were not 'tests' but part of my observations on just how ridiculous it is to claim that Episcopalians are Calvinists or to quote the 39 Articles when one has a limited grasp of their meaning, their historical context, or the Anglican methodology for authority on doctrine, namely tradition, Scripture, and reason.

The Episcopalian church that adheres to its historic doctrine is still Reformed in the United States.

X. OF FREE WILL. (39 Articles of Religion).

The condition of Man after the fall of Adam is such, that he cannot turn and prepare himself, by his own natural strength and good works, to faith, and calling upon God. Wherefore we have no power to do good works pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace of God by Christ preventing us, that we may have a good will, and working with us, when we have that good will.

That is calvinism

XVII. OF PREDESTINATION AND ELECTION

Predestination to Life is the everlasting purpose of God, whereby (before the foundations of the world were laid) he hath constantly decreed by his counsel secret to us, to deliver from curse and damnation those whom he hath chosen in Christ out of mankind, and to bring them by Christ to everlasting salvation, as vessels made to honour Wherefore, they which be endued with so excellent a benefit of God, be called according to God's purpose by his Spirit working in due season: they through Grace obey the calling: they be justified freely: they be made sons of God by adoption:they be made like the image of his only- begotten Son Jesus Christ: they walk religiously in good works, and at length, by God's mercy, they attain to everlasting felicity.

that my friend is reform doctrine. (called Calvinism).

You may not like it . You can keep denying it ..but Calvinists ..including Anglican Calvinist wrote the constitution..you have not produced anything but your personal denials..notone bit of proof ...show us the beef..:>)
