I'm very interested in knowing what others have done - and are presently doing - when they are the only Calvinist in their local body.* When you say "pray for me" or "pray for my friend", what do you ask for?* If you seek Godly advice from someone, how many grains of salt do you take it with?* When you struggle with questions about God, How hard is it articulating your thoughts to your friends? How do you stay devoted to a church which is seriously missing the mark?

I am going to allow a lot of freedom in interpreting these questions.* Right now, I truly feel as though I am in this position, being a devout Calvinist, but not theologically accepted anywhere I go.* Most of my brothers and sisters at church go with whatever wind of doctrine is popular at the time.* My few Calvinist friends are highly intolerant of my inquiries to such things as infant baptism, ecclesiogy, and the very foundations of scripture itself.
