I guess a big problem here is that many equate Reformed doctrine as being strictly "Calvinist" and perhaps some hard-core "Reformed" types would like to keep it this way calling everyone else aside from their "Reformed" perspective as being semi-pelagian heretics or whatever! I did not approach the question of the OP in such a manner.
If we came to the conclusion that John Calvin got everything right when he wrote his "Institutes," then I guess there is no need for any further reformation and having such a mindset is little better than the Roman Catholics saying that everything was "set in stone" by all the "fathers" and "doctors" of the church right?
Augustinianism and Pelagianism was not completely settled with the Council of Orange (Cassion and Gottschalk are stellar examples) nor can it be settled by some backwoods preecher quoting a few verses in their King James Bible!
Semper Reformada - remember where we came from and be mindful of where we are going
