It's clearly not be part of what God intended for us, but animism has popped up in all kinds of ways in a wide range of different cultures since the fall. It's a really pervasive deception. Maybe we could call it a "temptation common to man"?

Not true. Baptist doctrine is a blend of Calvinist and Arminian thought. They are Arminian in that they believe that salvation is freely chosen by "whomsoever will". But "once-saved, always-saved" is a thoroughly Calvinist idea, based on the notion that if someone was predestined to be saved "before the foundation of the world", there's nothing anyone can do to be un-saved.

There are lots of variations of being "Baptist", and some branches are almost PURELY Calvinist.

Also not true. Before the incursion of Scoffield's doctrines, Evangelical theology mostly conformed to "Princeton theology" -- the doctrines taught at Princeton Theological Seminary -- that is, Presbyterian/Reformed.

Conservative Calvinists are still a VERY strong part of Evangelical organizations such as the Evangelical Theological Society. Probably the most prominent Evangelical theologian at the moment is Calvinist Wayne Grudem ("Systematic Theology", "Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood", etc.).
