No. Since Calvin would not walk the face of the earth until nearly 1500 years later they could not be Calvinsts nor could Calvin be an orthodox Christian. It works both ways.
“The fact is one can not make firm doctrine out of silence .”
The fact is one can not make orthodox doctrine out of Protestantism.
“Jesus used the OT as verification of His doctrine as did the apostles.. they did not make it up as they went along”
Right. Which proves that Protestantism is wrong - since it was made up as it went along 1500 years later.
Once again one can not make firm doctrine out of silence.Jesus did not nor did the apostles they all used the scriptures
I am not "anti catholic" I am pro the word or God and what it teaches and I am anti doctrines formulated that are outside of scripture wherever they stands ... Protestant , Catholic, Mormon or where ever.. The word of God is truth.
