You prove that my expectation was correct. I've stopped counting the times that you have failed to give any intelligible answer to why, if

"Calvinism is incompatible with missionary work", the particular Calvinists I listed in post #28 engaged in the extensive missionary work that they did.

Do you deny that followers of Calvin believe in double predestination and no free will? That is, that the Calvinist belief is in a robot-making god who pre-programs robots (people) to do good or evil and predamns the pre-programmed evil robots to go to hell?
