Pilgrim,
I read the entire document you provided and found the word "faith" only once. "Faith was reduced to little more than assent to the truthfulness of certain biblical propositions."
Your faith is in the doctrine of John Calvin. My faith is in the inspired Word of God and in the in-dwelling Holy Spirit.
Your faith is "reckless faith", because you do not know for certain whether or not John Calvin ever received the Holy Spirit of God. For without the Holy Spirit, "A natural man does not understand the things of God, nor can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned."
Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets who come to you dressed in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits." Matthew 7:15,16 "Therefore by their fruits you will know them." Matthew 7:20
One way to determine whether or not John Calvin was a false prophet dressed in sheep's clothing, or a true prophet of God would be to examine his fruits.
Would you agree?
