the Presbyterians came out of the Wesleyan movement who was noted for opposing Calvin.

The only presbyterian I can think of who came out of John Wesley was George Whitefield -- and he didn't know he was one. )

So we continue to claim him.

And you all pillory him so badly that I've taken him as my Patron Methodist. :>

Now, now. Let's not forget there are more Calvinistic Methodists than Whitefield. I suspect they're still around but they've gone into hiding. ;O)

I was wrong in identifying Wesley instead of Knox.

Apologies.

WHITEFIELD'S LETTER TO WESLEY
