neo-calvinism...sexy?

Time Magazines upcoming issue is going to have a section on the 10 ideas that are changing the world right now. #3 on the list is The New Calvinism

Mark Driscoll just posted the 4 reasons the New Calvinism is so powerful.

1. Old Calvinism was fundamental or liberal and separated from or syncretized with culture. New Calvinism is missional and seeks to create and redeem culture.
2. Old Calvinism fled from the cities. New Calvinism is flooding into cities.
3. Old Calvinism was cessationistic and fearful of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. New Calvinism is continuationist and joyful in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
4. Old Calvinism was fearful and suspicious of other Christians and burned bridges. New Calvinism loves all Christians and builds bridges between them.

Any opiniions about this?
