    I was referring to the original post that I just re-quoted.

    I have heard that apparently John Calvin is not a Calvinist. Does that count. [emoji6]

    Yes. In evaluating commentaries, Spurgeon said of Calvin: "In his expositions he is not always what moderns would call Calvinistic."

    Holding to what the later Synod of Dort decided seems to be the bar many here have set instead (must affirm all Five Points to be a Calvinist!).

    Funny thing that apparently reading other places he was considered a Calvinist. He sounds like he had a much more balanced view from reading his view on God's sovereignty and man's free will.
