Hi Wooster. To answer your question, I am a "five point Calvinist". Regarding the Calvinism article, if you think that it is confusing to add the phrase in the list of "hypercalvinism", then it's fine with me if it is removed. I think that, in the U.S. anyway, the phrase "once saved always saved" has become quite severely depleted of it's doctrinal content. A similar phrase, that has suffered similar demise (in my opinion) is "eternal security". It tends to mean, "I prayed the prayer" (to invite Jesus into my heart), "and now I'm saved". The doctrine of perseverance of the saints is certainly a lot more nuanced and full of instruction than that, and so I don't like the identification between the corrupted version and the full idea. Of course, the phrase itself can certainly indicate the full idea, if that's what someone means (even then, I niggle over using the term "saved" as though it were a once-for-all thing that happened - a decision, a walk down the saw-dust trail, for example).

I saw your note, which I thought was a good point and put a note on User talk:Mkmcconn. I should have come here first, I see... Pollinator 16:59, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi Wooster,
Just saw your comment at talk:Hymn and made an amendment to the article. Also worked your point into the article When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. Let me know what you think. Quill 00:57, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I've cleaned up the Bahá'í Faith, the Báb and other Bahá'í related pages -- Navidazizi 04:24 2 Jan, 2005 (UTC)
Cool. Thanks for that -- I'm not, as you might have guessed, a regular Wiki-editor, and I just happened to pass by today, so it's rather a stroke of luck that I spotted your message. I think the Bahai-related pages are the most likely to revert, because apparently Bahai's have some thing about capitals, while we who are Christians tend to be somewhat confused on the issue. *grins* Wooster 22:13, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I returned the original comment because when Baltar killed Crashdown her predcition that someone would turn against the party was fulfilled. Arguably, Crashdown was leader of the group having the highest rank and Cally's refusal to participate in the raid made him threaten to kill her because she was disobeying orders. Baltar is the one who turns against him by shooting him in the back. This is why Six tells him he's "now a man". Cyberia23 00:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
