Baptecostals...maybe. Baptalvinists...NEVER!

It never ceases to amaze me that anyone who is a Baptist could ever call himself a Calvinist, much less work to structure the local assembly along Calvinist lines.  Calvin despised Baptists and called them filthy names.  He wrote profusely to justify his heretical idea that baptizing babies was right, even though baptism clearly follows after teaching in the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19).  Clinging to infant baptism must have been a sop to the papal power of Calvin’s time and a refusal to join the martyrdom of Baptists (Anabaptists).  Instead, he chose to attack those who understood that baptism belonged to believers and condemned them as being satanic.
