John Calvin's 500th Birthday

Recently Laura gave us a test that measured how Calvinistic we are. While our individual scores probably varied quite a bit, little notice was made at St. Luke's of John Calvin's 500th birthday on Friday, 10 July 2009. The pastor of the Branch of Hope Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Torrance did write an article for the Daily Breeze. It was interesting to note his mention of the Five Points of Calvinism summarized in the acronym TULIP, which is generally well-known among members of the Christian Reformed Church and Reformed Church of America, both descended from the Dutch Reformed Church.
Total depravity
Unconditional election
Limited atonement
Irresistible grace
Perseverance of the saints
Do you see predestination there?
