Perhaps primarily a millennial, but MacArthur shows you that not all in the Reformed camp have the same eschatology while all hold the same soteriology.

Again, not in dispute. All these posts claim fault where none exists based on petty animosity.

It is a fact that Reformed Theology is primarily Amillennalist.
Calvinist view = the Millennial Kingdom does not refer to an actual one thousand year reign on earth by Jesus from David's throne.

Dispy view = The Millennial Kingdom refers to an actual one thousand year reign on earth by Jesus from David's throne.

Where can you show me that this is the official Calvinist position? I know a lot more dispensational Calvinists than non dispensational ones.

The Second Helvetic Confession (1566), "We further condemn Jewish dreams that there will be a golden age on earth before the Day of Judgment, and that the pious, having subdued all their godless enemies, will possess all the kingdoms of the earth."

Here is a link to the whole Confession:
The Second Helvetic Confession (1566)

The snippet is from Chapter 11, in the fourth "The Sects" subsection.

Not petty animosity.
You are not making sense.
When people use the term "Calvinism" they are addressing the soteriology of TULIP. They are not addressing the eschatology of a denomination.
The Reformed, Christian Reformed, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Episcopalian denominations will be amillenial in their eschatology. Many to most Baptists will be dispensational in their eschatology. This is precisely why MacArthur can be Calvinist in soteriology and dispensational in his eschatology. You seem to not acknowledge this distinction.

First you say my view is not what my view is. Then you say I am not making sense. Sounds like petty animosity to me...

I agree, most baptists are dispensational, as they believe the bible is literally true. My view is all this pretense of dispensational Calvinism is a false flag operation.

At this point you are just digging a deeper hole. You have no idea what you are talking about.

You assume Calvinists today believe what a group of them believed in 1566? You assume that made it official Calvinist doctrine?

I assumed nothing. I supported my view. Dispensational Calvinism seems a false flag operation.

This what the last several Calvinist posts have been trying to bury is deflection.

Ever notice Calvinism is defended by attacking truth with false claims? Jesus taught us to stick with the truth, saying our yes should mean yes and our no should be no.
Did I appeal to authority? Nope I quoted a Reformed theologian teaching Dispensationalism departs from Reformed theology. But that point was ignored and a false claim was made. Does post #24 say Reformed theology and Dispensationalism are "incompatible?" Nope, I said Dispensationalism departs from Reformed Theology.

Such is the stuff of Calvinism, one falsehood after another by those who seem to hate truth.
