Just how prevalent is Calvinism? Perhaps not as prevalent as you may believe. This video also addresses the resurgence in Calvinism demonstrated by the New Calvinists.
Kevin.... respectfully what is missing from the supporting evidence you offer on the percentage of those who support some version (point(s)) of Calvinism is that your research primarily juxtaposes it against the term "Christian." I submit that that term, as relates to eternal live in Heaven is largely impotent as it includes millions of secular Christians who do not have a personal relationship with the Lord. If one was omniscient and could discern exclusively from a subset of true born-again believers, the percent of those with a Calvinist leaning vs. Arminianism, I think the percents would be more reflective of your underlying point.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. To your point, that is why I used the phrase. “…those who label themselves Christian’s…”. I agree with your observation and perhaps I should have emphasized more clearly the great gap between true born-again Christians and those who have failed to experience true salvation through a mere mental assent.
