I do not see Calvin's name in Acts 13:48, a text given to Luke by revelation of the Holy Spirit!

Marks, I can truly identify with what you are saying. Almost every post I make, I look later and think to myself, "Certainly I did not write that!"

The word "Creed" is from the Latin credo, "I believe"; so don't let anyone mislead you with the pious sounding "No Creed but the Bible"! A creed is a " system of belief", and the Bible is not written in systematic form as a systematic theology textbook, so "No Creed but the Bible" is somewhat...

That reverses the consistently represented order: God elects, man does not elect which would be if based on our obedience

No individual Christian is an infallible interpreter of Scripture, nor can he consistently & reliably come up with the truth without a teacher, as ordained by Christ(Eph. 4:11). A good use of commentaries is to look at the comments and arguments made from the various theological perspectives...
