Calvinism

Isn't that a little inconsistent?

Yup.
I never said I liked the idea

For a few years we attended a PC (USA) church and never heard of the Westminster Documents, TULIP, etc. It wasn't until attending a Reformed Presbyterian Church that we became aware of them.

I'm not sure of the number of people at the PCA we are now attending that know of them. Reformed churches in our area are as scarce as hens teeth, and this is a "second" choice for us.

We, the posters on this forum, probably associate with churches that are Reformed/Calvanist/Conservative because we know the difference. That's what I look for anyway.

I have had a similar experience. My wife's great-grandmother attended First Presbyterian Church in Houston all her life. Her daughter, the grandmother, and I have had a few discussions and she doesn't even know what the word Reformed means, nor does she have an incling of what Calvinism means. I deduct from this that she has either forgotten the church of her childhood, she's now Disciples of Christ, or they didn't teach anything resembling Reformed Christianity.

My church is about 1/4 Arminian . The come and are members because they like the fact we are not seeker friendly and the Bible is the foundation of everything we do.

We are VERY conservative.. BTW

Not seeker friendly? What exactly does that mean?
