Requirement four is to blog about it here first. You may and are encouraged to blog about it and discuss it elsewhere. The reason to do it here first is primarily to ensure that the goal of reading and discussing the Institutes of the Christian Religion together actually occurs.
It does not matter if this site gets hit by a bunch of people and makes us all amazingly popular for reading Calvin’s Institutes. Like that would ever happen anyway. It does matter though if there is edification of the Church that occurs here. If we just get more facts about Calvin and his theology then we fail. If we just get more personal edification then we fail. If we grow together then we succeed and this little experiment works.
To be bound with Christ means that we are to be bound also with his Church. We must be polite in our discussions. A few moderators such as Will Adair will have editorial control but likely will not use it. We trust everyone is going to act like grown ups and not politicians.
