Calvinists not living up to their potential

If you're able to see and accept biblical doctrine, unwatered-down, unnegotiated to the demands of vanity, worldly pride, and self-will; i.e. if you're able to see and accept Calvinism, as in five solas, doctrines of grace, Federal Theology, then you've got alot.

Now you need watchfulness and being in a state where you fear only God.

Modern day Calvinists don't like the Puritans. They read them; they affect to admire them and value their example; but they really don't like them. Puritans may as well be Cathars (similar epithets), as far as modern day Calvinists are concerned.

Why?

It concerns ritualism, clericalism, formalism, and moralism. The Puritans - the real Puritans (i.e. the ones who defined the name in history) - didn't reside where those things were taken to be the faith. The Puritans were strangers and pilgrims on the Way; in the church of which Christ is King; in the Kingdom of God, which doesn't reside anywhere you can see, and doesn't consist of any kind of worldly unity.

You don't understand that? You make the devil and his ministers happy...
