Jared, you'll find different definitions of what it means to be a Calvinist, or Reformed.

Suffice it to say, it entails much more than merely believing what we've coined the Doctrines of Grace. Primarily, and historically, being Reformed would mean believing in what is known as Covenant Theology including Reformed Paedobaptism and a certain understanding of the sacraments; consequently, the Doctrines of Grace are covered therein.

It would also be accurate to say, IMHO, that while many people are CalvinistIC, not all are Calvinists.

Hope that made sense.
