Calvinism is not popular. One of the main reasons for this faddish interest in this "New Calvinism" is just because it is NOT Calvinism, as I've already pointed out. It not only does not embrace nor teach the APPLICATION of biblical Calvinism, it turns a blind eye to its own antinomianism. I see it as nothing more than Fundamentalism's "God loves you just the way you are!" with a calvinistic twist; a different soteriology. In short, you can continue to live your worldly life, violate every commandment on the first table of the Law, claim to be saved by grace and then profess that you are a saved Calvinist. igiveup
