I have never seen this term before. what is a TULIPer? Inquiring minds want to know. I suspect it is a derogatory term. if is involves swearing, PM me if you must.

TULIP is a mnemonic describing Calvinist doctrine’s main points. The device is still used in some quarters by Reformed and Presbyterian catechists to teach their doctrine. Here is a quick explanation.
The term might be used in a derogatory manner by non-believers in Calvin’s approach to Christianity, much as “Roman” might be used to refer to Catholics or the Catholic Church. However, in itself, I see no problem with the term TULIP because, as I say, it is used even (and especially) by those who accept it.
