I'm not sure what a calvinian is, (calminian/calvarmian?) but sometimes I think I defy definition. I consider myself a biblical christian and all of it is the word of God. Period.

"Calvinian"

This was the contemporary term for adherents of John Calvin in Geneva while he was living. It pre-dates the nasty disputes that erupted after 1609 with the disputes of the Remonstrants.

Sometimes I think it is a more comprehensive term than Calvinist which came into usage much later, a term of derision invented by the Jesuits.

So, we can all be Calvinians and approach the Arminian dispute freshly, like brothers in the fellowship of Geneva.
