I am a Reformed Baptist who takes very seriously the pouiepposstirnal differences between Presbyterian Covenant Theology and Baptist Covenant Theology. I am just as happy maybe more so being called a Covenant Baptist. Calvinism is a sub-set of Reformed or Covenant Theology, not an equivalent. One can be a Calvinist right in soteriology, as John MacArthur is yet not Reformed; which brings the 5 Solas and that brings a lot. This is where Luthor got left behind. And we should hold to a 6th principle Semper Reformanda or we will get stuck as the Presbyterians in the 17th century, defending our confession as much or more than we defend the Scriptures.
