Berny,
I think what you would find is that the less confessional a prof is, the points at which he takes issue with the confession, is precisely its Calvinism, not whether taking the trash out on Sunday is a violation of the Fourth Commandment.
Trust me, as one who's been there, you want conservative guys, no matter what denom you end up in. The war in the seminaries is between the guys that reverence the past, and have learned from it (but are not bound by it), versus the guys who want to shuttle it completely. There really doesn't seem to be much middle ground.
And, Barnes, no matter how confessional you are, you are still toast when you come up before MVP. You've ticked off the wrong preacher!
