Can someone still call themselves a Calvinist if they only believe in single
predestination? I just find it difficult to believe that God predestines
people to hell before they are born. This would not be a loving God of mercy
and certainly not one worthy of worship. The doctrine of election has much
support in the bible. By contrast, the doctrine of reprobation has little
support in the bible except for a few verses in Romans. So I only believe
in single predestination but still consider myself a Calvinist. Is there a
specific name for this kind of belief?
