Calvin *is* in that list, though not by name. That is because the assumption behind the construction of your list is "sola scriptura", a belief that came from Martin Luther and John Calvin. Each of your four ways quotes and appeals to Scripture. That shows the philosophical belief underlying the methodology by which you constructed the list. You are following the tradition of the Protestant Reformers without even knowing that you are doing so.

And with that you've managed to break two Religion Forum guidelines: 1) reading the mind of another poster and, 2) accusing another poster of dishonesty.

I am not Calvinist - for days now I've been having an intense sidebar in opposition to Calvinist doctrine on this very thread - even while posting in another sidebar with you.

The revelation in Scripture (point 3) is cited in points 1, 2 and 4 in support of the fact that all four revelations work together as one, but in that order of authority and completeness.
