Very few true Christians

There Is No Such Thing As A “Five Point” Calvinist

There are, therefore, more than five points and — as far as the confessions and the Reformed dogmaticians from Calvin to Kuyper are concerned — there cannot be such a thing as a “five-point Calvinist” or “five-point Reformed Christian” who owns just those five articles taken from the Canons of Dort and who refuses to accept the other “points” made by genuinely Reformed theology. The issue here is more than simple confessional allegiance. The issue is that the confessions and the classical dogmatic systems of Reformed theology are not an arbitrary list of more or less biblical ideas — they are carefully embodied patterns of teaching, drawn from Scripture and brought to bear on the life of the church. They are, in short, interpretations of the whole of Christian existence that cohere in all of their points. If some of the less-famous points of Reformed theology, like the baptism of infants, justification by grace alone through faith, the necessity of a thankful obedience consequent upon our faith and justification (the “third use of the law”), the identification of sacraments as means of grace, the so-called amillennial view of the end of the world, and so forth, are stripped away or forgotten, the remaining famous five make very little sense. Read more»

RICHARD A. MULLER, “How Many Points?” Calvin Theological Journal 28 (1993): 428–29

This article is absolute, total bullshit. If you don't know, Richard Muller is a Christian academic that other Christian academics go into a swoon over when he walks into a room. 

In this article he's using a tactic of cultural Marxists, the taking away of choices. I.e. if you're not a formal, ritualized, unregenerate Reformed Christian then you are a silly Dispensationalist. (If you're not a communist then you're a fascist, no other choice.) 

John Owen stated that the doctrine - the reality - of regeneration by the word and the Spirit was the most hated doctrine than any other by establishment churchians. Owen for whatever reason was not consistent in his understanding and practice in that he never came away from the Romanist fetish of infant baptism. Whatever. He wanted to keep his job perhaps. 

So-called sacraments are visual parable. Zwingli said they are for stupid people. Bunyan said if you think ritual water baptism regenerates you you're an idiot. Satan wants you to think baptism regenerates you. When the Roman Catholic Church had the power of the sword and the stake they called people to baptism all day and all night; yet they kept people away from the living, quickening word of God upon penalty of torture and death. Satan knows what regenerates. 

The five points of Calvinism have nothing to do with infant baptism. They have to do with the inner orientation of a true believer who is God-centered rather than man-centered. Who fears God alone and not the world or the world's opinion. This doctrine does not belong to infant-baptists. Classical Covenant - Federal - Theology does not belong to infant-baptists. Amillennialism has nothing to do with infant-baptists.
