"So we see that, to the Calvinist, Faith by definition incorporates three crucial facets:
Notitia or Mind -- Knowledge of Jesus Christs Lordship
Assensus or Heart -- Acknowledgment of Jesus Christs Lordship
Volitio or Will -- Reverent Submission to Jesus Christs Lordship"
Doesn't sound very Calvinist to me - Assensus and Volitio are good works by any other name. I think you guys are all just closet Arminians after all!!!

Calvinist ordo saludis...

Faith

***Assensus and Volitio are good works by any other name.***
Calvinism sees saving faith (in all three aspects) as a gift from God rather than a gift to God.
You are confusing Calvinism with Zombie-ology that places the ordo saludis...
Faith
Regeneration
Justification
and posits prevenient grace rendering man "un-dead" in order for him to decide he wants to be fully alive.
