A Baptist man, a Pentacostal woman, and a Calvinist all die and go to the Pearly Gates to be let into heaven. Saint Peter meets them at the gates, and tells them they have to undergo an examination to make sure they are suitable for heaven. Saint Peter says, "All right, I'll take the Baptist first." So the Baptist goes into the exam room, and he's there for six hours. The Pentacostal and the Calvinist keep saying to each other, "I wonder if he's gonna make it!" But at the end, the Baptist comes out and, though tired, says, "Whew! I made it!" Turning to the Pentacostal, he says that she's next. So the woman goes into the room, and she's there for twelve hours. The Calvinist and the Baptist keep wondering if she's going to succeed, but eventually she comes out, quite tired, and says, "Whew! I made it!" Then turning to the Calvinist, she motions him in next. So the Calvinist goes into the room, and he's there twenty-four hours. The Baptist and the Pentacostal are floored by this, and keep wondering what's going to happen. At the end of it, Saint Peter comes out looking rather tired, and says, "Whew! I made it!"

Oh dear! I imagine that the joke is either Calvinist irony or a poke at Calvinists from the outside.

Definitely not from the outside, hehe. Note my affiliation icon.

I've never quite grasped what the Calvinist faith icon is supposed to be or what it is about. There's a red shield with a yellow cross and something green that looks vaguely like an anemic Christmas tree.
