I’m a Lutheran but I live in a small town with no Lutheran Church. I attend a Presbyterian Church. Once every three years or so the pastor gives a sermon affirming Calvinism. The rest of the time the people of the congregation live as if they’re mainstream evangelicals. I like it that way because they are warm and loving. My personal experiences with hard line Calvinists have been uniformly negative. I can only speak from what I have seen and experienced myself, but from that perspective the Calvinists I have met and interacted with have come across as cold, aggressive people. [Watch me get attacked just for relating a little piece of personal history.] Fwiw.

AMEN!

I doubt you'll get attacked. But if someone asks you to explain yourself, I bet you'll act as if you were attacked.
