From your source...

"...the view Calvin was presupposing had in themselves nothing whatever to do with evangelical doctrine..."

Spare us the revisionism. Calvin's sermons and Commentaries and the "Institutes of the Christian Religion" say otherwise.

There are few men Rome despises as much as Calvin.

If for no other reason, that fact identifies Calvin as a man who followed the word of God rather than the doctrines of men.

As long as you don't worry too much about that whole "free will" thing.

Actually, we despise Satan as well, so does that in your world view give Luci a thumbs up?

Your statement 'if it ain't Catholic, it's ok by me' - is symptomactic of the negativism of Calvinos. No wonder it's a dying breed. The OPC are only 28,000 people as of 2005 and still showing a downward trend in adherents, Their own website http://opc.org/GA/73rd_GA_rpt_topical.html says":
In 2005 three congregations withdrew from the OPC to join the Presbyterian Church in America, one of which was a rather large congregation, resulting in a net loss of members for the OPC in 2005. The membership of the OPC has remained at about 28,000 for more than two years, which is a cause of concern.
so they make a lot of noise for such a small grouping and don't regard even their fellow Presbyterians well -- I wonder what they think of the sub-groups that formed from them like the Bible Presbyterian C and the Evangelical Presbyterian C
