I would ask that we remember that this is an ex-Pentecostal forum, but we try to be respectful of the beliefs of others. I am a Calvinist, and our belief system is nothing as described. In fact, election means to us that we cannot ever brag of being special, because salvation is only of grace and not because we are special or good. And we do NOT believe that only Calvinists are saved (at least, that's not a normal Calvinist belief, although I'm sure there are a few weirdos in every bunch).

But regardless, please remember that one of the admins here (meaning myself) is a Calvinist, as are some others who participate here. Please be kind.
