Here is a quote that I am sure the Federal Vision men would love. It's from Calvin's commentary on Jude 4:
Does this mean that Dr. Calvin denied a definite atonement? It seems that he did, at least here. Are we to give him charity and conclude otherwise because of our basic assessment of his views (as per Roger Nicole)

or do we admit the fact that Calvin did teach it here and say that he is wrong?
But He means that Christ is denied, when they who had been redeemed by his blood, become again the vassals of the Devil, and thus render void as far asthey can that incomparable price. That Christ, then, may retain us as his peculiar treasure, me must remember that he died and rose again for us, that he might have dominion over our life and death.
