Accurate depiction of Calvianism

[JacksLadder]

Is this web site an accurate portrayal of Calvinism?

wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism

If it is fairly accurate Calvinism seems to be pretty intellectually satisfying. It seems to draw the Bible together better than a lot of other philosophies out there. It seems to use logical thought instead of an emotional reasoning.

Define 'emotional reasoning'.

Define 'emotional reasoning'.

When people do Alter calls or the whole "you could die tonight where are you going". Instead of saying it is not up to you but up to God.

It's a typical description. I think it, like many others, overemphasizes a few points. The five points are there, but I think Calvin would have said the heart of his religion was our spiritual union with Christ.

For another view, see For more details see reformedtheology.org/SiteFiles/WhatIsRT.html, and the wonderful article by Garrish that they point to: reformedtheology.org/SiteFiles/GerrishArticle.html (Sorry that the links are mangled, but the system won't let me post real links.)
