The were "Calvinist" under the cover of "PURITANS"
Full Blown "Calvinist" a known fact. so are ashamed, to mention, who they really are.Hi, I am now a full blown Calvinist, and what I am most ashamed of is that I wasted 40 years of my life being an Arminian who despised Calvinism. During those 40 years I read the works of the Reformers and the Puritans, seeking to prove them wrong. I ended up in the dilemma of being convinced of the truth of Calvinism while still hating it as much as ever. I was miserable. I cried out to God to push me off the fence into whichever one was true. God pushed and simultaneously removed my stubborn stupidity. I landed squarely in the middle of full blown Calvinism, of which I am NOT ASHAMED!The were "Calvinist" under the cover of "PURITANS"
As for your assessment that Puritans were ashamed of there Calvinism, I direct you to volume 2 of the works of Augustus Toplady, where he covers the history of the Puritans and their adamant confession of and support of their Calvinism.
BTW. Toplady also started out hating Calvinism bur was convinced otherwise after reading two works;
1. "The Doctrine of Absolute Predestination" by Jerome Zanchius, available free from grace-ebooks.com
2. "Sermons Upon John 17" by Thomas Manton, available free from Monergism.com
