If you know what T4G stands for, you might be a Calvinist.

If your kid, who listens to rap music and dresses scruffily, prefers the Psalter and cleans up well on Sunday morning without prodding, they might be a Calvinist

“If you cringe every time you hear someone proclaim “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life! Choose Jesus!”… you might be a Calvinist. “

... or a Satanist.

Just saying.

If you're a Calvinist and you have only a basic familiarity with less than a quarter of this list, and are baffled by the rest....you just might be me.

He doesn't love everyone. If Scripture shows God hated only one person, He doesn't love everyone.

Malachi 1:2 “I have loved you,” says the Lord. But you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau Jacob's brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob 3 but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.”
Just sayin'.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to know all of it!

I’m guilty of a few of these, lol. But I’m glad to say I’m an unashamed Calvinist. I consider myself to be a New Calvinist. My pastor is Matt Chandler who is very much a Calvinist!

If you enjoy reading the ESV Bible on your BlackBerry instead of playing “Kaglom”, you just might be a Calvinist

If the first theater movie you went too was “The Hiding Place”; and you weren’t quite sure it was O.K. .... You might be a Calvinist.

I know what you mean.

I rooted my Nook and the first app I downloaded was the free ESV bible

If you were ever asked to leave Dallas Theological Seminary and it was suggested you go to WTC instead; you might be a Calvinist.

So do Calvinist Christians believe they should love everyone?

If you fall down the stairs and say “Thank God that’s over with” you might be a Calvinist.

Yup.

We are told to do so.

I am a Cumberland Presbyterian, which makes me a heavily modified Calvinist . . . I guess . . . but I am glad you all are spreading the jibes around, I don’t mind LOL

I have heard that “hate” in Biblical usage can mean “love less,” such as in the context you used.

i’m not a Calvinist. but i thought your list was delightful.

...and your Bible quote was interesting. i never thought about it that way before.
seems like God might not be too fond of Mohammad, and others who lead his little ones astray...

i interpret 1 Corinthians 12 broadly, and i’m happy to have Christian brothers like you.
(especially with almost 2 billion Muslims in the world, that object to our giving off CO2 on principle...)

thanks for posting this.
