Not to offend anyone, but it seems after doing some reading that Calvinism is the height of arrogance. Also explains what I found when searching for a church a few years back.

True Calvinism doesn't have anything to do with arrogance (although many debates over the theology end that way).

True Calvinism is about reassurance of the saints.

The one who believes what Calvin taught (and Paul and Augustine before him BTW) will walk in peace and assurance. And that's a wonderful thing.

“Calvinism is the height of arrogance. “

I find this to be a strange conclusion, because the main point of the Calvinistic viewpoint of salvation is, God alone saves. Man can’t save himself.

Agree with that or not, it isn’t arrogant.
