I'm at work and I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Good stuff!!
Hey, I kinda freaked when I became a Calvinist. She'll get over it.
Help! my father is becoming a Calvinist.
I did. I was a Pelagian when I was an unbeliever though I was raised hearing about election and predestination. I wanted my will not His. When Christ made Himself known to me and called me by His grace I had no problem with the doctrines of grace.Nobody starts off in the faith as a Calvinist, in fact we start out at least semi-pelagian!

Atheist --> Classical Arminian ---> Calvinist
All within a 2-3 year span.
Welcome to the club! Wasn't it Spurgeon who said that "Calvinism is just a nick name for Biblical Christianity"?
One thing you'll find about Calvinism is that we believe this way on purpose, we came to this position out of study and conviction. Nobody starts off in the faith as a Calvinist, in fact we start out at least semi-pelagian! Oh, and don't believe the nay-sayers..we're not determinists or fatalists, we just have a healthy reverence for God's power, glory and holiness.
I became Calvinistic after making up my mind that I'd study it just long enough to satisfy myself that it was wrong.
So much for that plan!
