    No, the point of the poll is not how we label others, but how you perceive yourself. My definition does not matter, it is how each individual sees themselves.

    Idea for the poll came from the thread "If the Shoe Fits" in particular this post of mine:

    That was my original point. Calvinists should not be ashamed to say they are calvinists no matter what people believe that to mean. You know what it means, say what you mean, and label yourself. I'm not bent out of shape w/ labels as some are. It doesn't bother me.

    MUST define the cal label, and the non cal also!

    I am a 4 pointer in DoG, am I a cal by this test?

    Are 5 pointer cal, or MSUT they hold to full reformed doctrines?

    Are non cals same as free will baptists, or as Arminians?

    I like this poll better. Do you consider yourself a Calvinist, or not?

    this is funny......why should I as a believer have any allegiance to any side...It is amusing to think I would ever even consider it. Its not that I was any object of anyones ferocity as some in here claim, never made to suffer at anyones hands like this weakling is saying, therefore I am not vengeful. I choose my way of life, my understanding of scripture etc., very calmly without any concern about what anyone thinks & immensely enjoy being that way. Does that answer your question?

    I personally don't care. But when you have to stand before a most Holy & Righteous God & give accounting for all your despising & hatred for your fellow man, after you were told how wrong it is, what will you say? That someone made you do it! I tell you & remember this surely, He will not accept your excuse that others made you what you are, and that you are blameless.

    Yes. I will answer to Him for far worse things than this.

    But I dont have to answer to you for squat.

    No.


    BTW you asked a compound question that cannot be answered by a simple Yes or No because of the word or in the question.

    Technically my answer according to the compound question should be : non-calvinist.

    The real question should be:

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    Yes, whether God merely accepts/rejects himself or whether people actually accept God through the special conviction and enabling of the HS; whether we are automatons or whether we are people made in the image of God with an actual will.

    When I consider the time continuum I am a synergist

    When I consider eternity I am a monergist.

    That also depends on how these are defined. God does everything from reaching out to us, providing a means of salvation, etc...yet He requires faith. It's not an either / or, it's both.

    It would be good if the poll could stay active till 100 people voted.
