"So we see that, to the Calvinist, Faith by definition incorporates three crucial facets:

Notitia or Mind -- Knowledge of Jesus Christ’s Lordship
Assensus or Heart -- Acknowledgment of Jesus Christ’s Lordship
Volitio or Will -- Reverent Submission to Jesus Christ’s 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...

Regeneration
Faith
Justification

***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.
