Why Calvinism?

Amen! That's why when people ask, I usually tell them I'm 'Reformed'. That buys time for me to talk about the Doctrines of Grace instead of Servatus.

Here in the backwoods where I live, hardly anybody has ever even heard the name Calvin, or the word Calvinist. And if you say you are reformed, they do not know what that word means either. They take it to mean you have been in the crazy house for awhile and just got out. (I'm really not kidding.)

I tried that once on this very board and got in "trouble" because I'm not Reformed in the denominational sense.

Regardless I think this is splitting a multitude of hairs...

I'll continue to call myself a Calvinist and/or Reformed so deal with it...
