caricature of Limited Atonement and Double Predestination

Hardly -- Limited Atonement says that Christ's salvation was not sufficient to save the entire world and denies the Bible itself as the Bible asserts that Christ was the Savior for all mankind. Double Predestination is refuted in Ezekiel 33:12-16 -- God is the one who does the saving, but man damns himself from his own hands -- God does not, as followers of Calvin believe -- pre-program someone to do evil and then pre-damns them to hell

Calvin did not evangelize France. Remigius did that in 496 AD -- repeated again, Calvin didn't evangelize anywhere, he just set up a police state in Geneva

you stated that in one year Calvin sent out 142 folks to go "around the world" -- firstly, saying that Calvin sent out more folks then than the modern day Pentecostals/Methodists/Baptist do today is wrong secondly, this is speculation and thirdly "around the world" -- that's not even clarified, Calvin didn't send any folks to convert folks outside Europe did he?

As I said The missionary movement was founded by Christ. There is no such thing as "modern missionary movement" indicating a discontinuation with the original message to spread the Word of Christ -- the commission given by Christ Himself. followers of Calvin did not "start a modern missionary movement" unless you acknowledge that Calvinism is separate, distinct and different from Christianity.

Brazil.

While you have added some more gratuitous bones of contention here, you still haven't explained why, if "Calvinists didn't believe in missionary work", or as you put it, "Calvinism is incompatible with missionary work", the particular Calvinists I listed in post #28 engaged in the extensive missionary work that they did.

Cordially,
