Marlowe, all you have to do is believe in Jesus Christ and you are saved.
We agree on that.
We disagree on where this motivation comes from.
You say man makes the final step toward God. Man opens the door to God. Man invites God in. Man sees the light and agrees with God.
The Calvinist says God first changes the heart of the sinner and then he believes.
Perhaps one day you'll grasp the distinction. Therein lies the world and all God's blessings.

We do say that the individual must believe. The point for is whether or not it's bible. We think it is.

I cannot imagine it being a blessing that God would deliberately, intentionally, consciously send someone to an eternally burning hell...and for His glory? There is no hope in such a view, nothing but fear.
