I can't remember if I told you, but I accepted "Calvinism" before I even knew who John Calvin was. In fact, I've never read much more than quotes from him.
I told my Arminian pastor what I was seeing in Scripture after reading the book of Romans about 10 times. He told me what I was talking about was Calvinism then started telling me about Calvin burning Servetus (not totally true..the Geneva Council executed him and Calvin wanted to behead him)
I left the church not too long after that. He wanted me to be part of the evangelizing team, and I started meeting with them, but I didn't feel comfortable bringing people to a church that taught against eternal security. I figured, why should I stay somewhere that taught something I thought was harmful to new believers? So, I left.
