A Japanese businessman was invited by his American host to attend church with him, and he quickly agreed.  At the end of the message, which was delivered by the Methodist clergyman Ralph Sockman, his host asked him what he thought of the message.  In his discreet, polite manner the Japanese friend commented, "To hear him tell it, Jesus was an American, a Methodist, and an Arminian," quickly adding, "But we know that is not true because Jesus was really a Japanese, a Baptist, and a Calvinist."
