If the Church found out that the various Calvinist religions believe in the same god that you guys specifically do, they'd probably re-evaluate their acceptance of Calvinist baptism and put it into the same specific bin as LDS baptism.

You bring up an excellent point. Calvinism, at least as it's portrayed on FR, is nothing more than a synthesis of Arianism, Nestorianism and various other gnostic heresies worshipping a "god" who appears to be straight out of a Wagnerian opera.

Or the Norse pantheon - appropriate since the Reformed seem to believe in an array of gods. What difference in behaviour does the Reformed God manifest that is apparent when compared to Odin? Other than the names?
