CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The various Presbyterian denominations. Be careful though, the PCUSA is very liberal. I recommend PCA if you have one in your area. Reformed Church in America. Reformed Baptist. And many others, including some Southern Baptist.
As far as religious leaders, there are D. James Kennedy, R. C. Sproul, and John MacArthur. There are others, those are the three I know best.
I really recommend R. C. Sproul's books "Faith Alone" and "Getting the Gospel Right". I am currently reading his book "Defending your Faith".

The churches that follow reform doctrine flow from the reformation and are in the real sense Protesting churches .
Luther was a predestinarian although his church has left the beliefs of the reformation.(He was a student of Augustine that taught predestination)
Also the "method" of Wesleyan also had Reform roots . But there was a split and Whitefield (the partner of Wesley ) broke off. Today there are reform Wesleyan churches in Northern Ireland
The Puritans and Pilgrims were Calvinists when they arrived in America.
The Anglican Church has strong Calvinist roots and some still maintain them
The reformation had roots in the teachings of Calvin .
The major denominations are the Presbyterian ( Orthodox presbyterians , Bible Presbyterians , Conservative Presbyterians and some PC USA ) , The Dutch Reformed, Reformed baptists (the very first religious group to teach it was the primitive Baptists before the reformation ) There are also various non denominational reformation churches
Who might you know? Historic writers ...John Murrey , Arthur Pink the late
James Montgomery Boice.
Contemporary John MacArthur , John Piper , Dr Bob Morrey , RC Sproul. D J Kennedy JI Packer, and I believe James McDonald is a 4 point calvinist

The Orthodox Presbyterian Church is probably one of the best churches in the US when it comes to sticking to the historical, doctrinal Reformed faith.
As I understand it, Luther was once a believewr in double predesrination, but changed his view to single predestination later. (Which is what the Lutheran churches today teach)

In need of direction
The Church of Scotland (and Free CoS) are Presbyterian, though the Church of England and the Church of Ireland are Anglican. 
I think in England, there are Reformed churches, but no big denominations, and in Ireland, the Presbyterian Church of Ireland is, obviously, and the Reformed Presbyterian. Not too sure about the Free Presbyterian church, that was a breakaway group formed by Ian Paisley, though I think they still hold to the reformed doctrine.

I'm a Southern Baptist and I can personally vouch that only maybe 35% of most established SBC churches have members that believe in Reformed Theology or Calvinism. It's pretty sad, actually.. the whole Baptist denomination was founded on these Biblical principles. The only SBC Seminary that is unapologetically 5-Point Calvinist and hardcore about Reformed Theology is The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, headed up by Dr. Albert Mohler (another great modern thinker who's a Calvinist). I am currently enrolled in the Undergratuate program (Boyce College) at this Seminary, being that I'm a Southern Baptist, but I wanted a GOOD Theological education, not a watered-down one like most SBC schools...
