I don't know of any Particular Redemptionists on BB other than you and possibly "Reformed" (not sure if it is Reformed, but I know there is one other).
If a person is a Calvinist they believe in particular redemption. If they do not they are not a Calvinist. That said, there are quite a few of us on the BB.

One of the things that annoys me most about many (not all) Calvinists is they suggest or even plainly say that only Calvinists will go to Heaven. Here are non Cals essentially doing the same thing in reverse. It annoys me even worse when they do it.
Most? None that I know of. The circles I keep are dominated by Calvinists and none of them believe that tripe. Just another smear without proof to back it up.

There are Calvinist Baptist here, who hold to Tulip, and reformed ones, who add Confessions and full Covenant theology to boot!

My understanding is that God saves all of us by the calvinist plan, but thank God, many who are totally rejecting us are still being saved same way!

So, you make a claim, can't support it, so you tell me to support it. Rather typical of you. Just what I expected.

I'm glad I meet your expectations.

Why don't you learn how to use the search function on BB? You're an administrator for cryin' out loud.

Just type into Advanced Search
Luke 2427

know

and do some searching.

I am neither “young, restless, (nor) reformed.” I am a Christian first, and an Historic, Particular Baptist second.

And Particular Redemption certainly does not "stem from 16th century reformer John Calvin." It predates John Calvin by 1500 years.

And I am certainly not an isolationist. I seldom visit Calvinist blogs or read Calvinist books, have never attended a Calvinist conference, nor joined a Calvinist church (whatever that is) and my pastor is decidedly not a "Calvinist preacher."

Nor am I a tribalist (whatever that is). I am a Christian first, a Baptist second.

Nor an I an egotist. Unfortunately too many people mistake confidence for egotism. I have a good education and a well rounded understanding of God's word. That has been acquired by 60 years of study. And I don't apologize for being well studied. The article seems to fall into the old anti-intellectualism rampant in so much of evangelicalism.

The dumbest statement in the article is "Talking so much of sovereignty and salvation and atonement can inflate the ego."

Talking about spiritual things inflates the ego?

Talking about the Perfection of God inflates the ego?

Talking about the helplessness of man inflates the ego?

Talking about the fact there is nothing we can do to initiate nor contribute to our salvation inflates the ego?

I think not, but an ad hominem attack on the character of those you disagree with is much easier than actual facts.

So, why do you chime in every time "Calvinism" is mentioned? You say that you are not a "Calvinist." If you are not a "Calvinist" then why do you assume I am talking about you when I mention "Calvinism"?

Just being honest, you do come across on here as very arrogant. In person, you may be the most humble person in the world, but it is not conveyed in your written communication.

I don't.

I'm not. I am an Historic Particular Baptist.

Because you, like so many anti-Calvinists on the forum, lump us all together under the inaccurate appellation "Calvinist."

There is a vast difference between arrogance and confidence.

In person, you may be the most humble person in the world, but it is not conveyed in your written communication.
Your reading something into my posts reflects more on you than on me. :)

I know you are a particular Baptist. Why do you assume I think you are a Calvinist?

I think quite a few people read your "confidence" the same way I read it.
