We share the sentiments of Jonathan Edwards who said in the Preface to his great book on THE FREEDOM OF THE WILL, "I should not take it at all amiss, to be called a Calvinist, for distinction's sake: though I utterly disclaim a dependence on Calvin, or believing the doctrines which I hold, because he believed and taught them; and cannot justly be charged with believing in every thing just as he taught."

Our experience is that clear knowledge of God from the Bible is the kindling that sustains the fires of affection for God. And probably the most crucial kind of knowledge is the knowledge of what God is like in salvation. That is what the five points of Calvinism are about. We do not begin as Calvinists and defend a system. We begin as Bible-believing Christians who want to put the Bible above all systems of thought. But over the years - many years of struggle - we have deepened in our conviction that Calvinistic teachings on the five points are Biblical and therefore true.

The so-called Five Points were not chosen by the Calvinists as a summary of their teaching. They emerged as a response to the Arminians who chose these five points to oppose.

"Calvinism says 'God has chosen unconditionally whom He will bring to faith & salvation" -JohnPiper. Calvinism also teaches 'God has chosen unconditionally whom He Will bring to DAMNATION & ETERNAL TORMENT 'Before having done anything either good or bad in order that Gods purpose of Election might continue"

@apollos6640 How do you explain Gods hatred for Esau BEFORE having done anything either good or bad?
