Calvinism has some essential Gospel truths in it, just like Roman Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, and other aberrant beliefs that add to and distort the Gospel, yet still retain some elements of truth.
If you believe you are sinner and Christ suffered as your atonement, your false doctrine can be forgiven.
If one were to live his entire life in perfect obedience to God and yet committed just a single sin at the end of his life, then he has not pleased God. That does not mean that the whole of the rest of his life God was not pleased with what he did.

The Key Scriptural Problems Of Calvinism
The Premise of Calvinism Is that God Created “Unconditional Election,” Whereby His Choice Is Independent of Our Choice Critiquing Calvinism’s assertion that salvation is solely God’s un…
Critiquing Calvinism’s assertion that salvation is solely God’s unilateral decision involves analyzing key scriptural texts and theological principles. Here are the key issues and their scriptural counterpoints:
Free Will and Human Responsibility
Calvinism’s doctrine of Unconditional Election posits that God’s choice is independent of human action, implying humans lack agency in their salvation. However, the Bible repeatedly emphasizes human responsibility in responding to God’s grace.John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” This verse clearly conditions eternal life on individual belief.
Acts 16:31: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” This directive underscores the necessity of human choice in salvation.
God’s Desire for All to Be Saved
Calvinism asserts that God decrees some to salvation and others to reprobation. This is problematic when measured against verses that show God’s universal salvific will:1 Timothy 2:4: “[God] desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
2 Peter 3:9: “[God is] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
Foreknowledge vs. Predestination
Calvinists often argue that God’s foreknowledge necessitates predestination, but the Bible presents foreknowledge as God’s knowing in advance who will choose Him, not causing them to believe:Romans 8:29: “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son.” The sequence suggests that predestination follows foreknowledge.
1 Peter 1:2: “…elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father.” Election is grounded in foreknowledge, not arbitrary decree.
Universal Offer of Salvation
The New Testament teaches that the gospel is offered to all, not only to a predetermined group of elect individuals:Matthew 11:28: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Revelation 22:17: “Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.”
God’s Justice and Impartiality
Calvinism’s concept of unconditional election raises questions about God’s justice and impartiality:Acts 10:34-35: “God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.”
Ezekiel 18:23: “Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? … and not that he should turn from his ways and live?”
The Role of Grace
While Calvinism emphasizes irresistible grace (that God’s grace cannot be resisted by the elect), Scripture illustrates that grace can be resisted:Acts 7:51: “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit.”
Matthew 23:37: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem… How often I wanted to gather your children together… but you were not willing!”
The scriptural problems with Calvinism’s interpretation of salvation center on the denial of human agency and the misrepresentation of God’s character as impartial and loving. The biblical narrative consistently portrays salvation as a cooperative process: God initiates through grace, and humans respond through faith. This balance ensures that God’s sovereignty and human responsibility are harmonized, honoring the scriptural testimony that God foreknows who will choose Him, and based on this knowledge, He elects them for eternal life.

Unconditional election of Grace is salvation by grace, and man does like any ability to choose in salvation because he's dead and sin.This page is allowed to be shared.

it will be something like this
man is a dead lifeless corpse
therefor God must regenerate the corpse giving it life ( regeneration doctrine in calvinism ) so that they can receive Gods implanted faith ( not their own faith ) and be saved. Man is 100% passive and has no choice in their salvation as its all been determined/predestined before the world came into existence.
man is basically a preprogrammed robot and the programmer has robots he saves and those he destroys. there is no choice in the matter of salvation.

The article is fluff, 95% is just pointless history and semantics about names.
The last 5% is on the sin nature, which is believed by non-Calvinists as well.
Please think more critically and logically about what you say.
@Overcomer
I'll debate you and allow you to use this post, fair enough? You will have to defend it, since they will not come here to do so, which I would to God they would.
Sir, your are a Overcomer, but by men who are void of the truth, you have been overcome by their wicked and deceitful teachings. I have been in this way for many years, and have seen every argument that could possibly be presented, much greater than theses weak arguments. If you do not believe me, then test me with a one on one debate, or better yet, bring your friends with you, for I have the majority on my side, God and his truth, I need "no one" else.
What do you believe and teach, can you support your understanding with scriptures? Or, do you need other men to do your work for you, and let them "rubber stamped" you as a person who opposes the truth? It is a high price to pay.
