    What is the purpose of this post other than to stir up trouble? I would say the board is split about 50/50 among active members of Calvinist/Non-Calvinist

    A number floating around the Internet is that 30% of SBC churches are Calvinist. Maybe an equal amount might have pastors that tend to Calvinism, but they're either personally split or they don't want to alienate non-Calvinists. Further, I bet that the larger churches tend to be more Calvinistic.

    What is a Calvanist? I never heard of that term.

    Oh don't get me wrong, I am in no way bashing any individual denomination. However, it does seem that this site is leaning more and more away from Baptist. Not saying anything about Baptists either, but if the majority is no longer Baptist, maybe it's time to change the name of the site.

    Kind of like if there was a website for moms and it slowly got overrun by men.

    Many of the Baptists were also Calvinist in earlier history....

    Or like if a website dedicated to horses slowly got filled more and more with fans of chickens. You guys get what I'm trying to say, right?

    Baptists are traditionally Calvinist. There are many anti-Calvinist Baptists, but that trait has never defined a Baptist.
