OSAS is one-point calvinism. I may even be a three pointer. I differ with Calvinism in the aspect of man's choice in salvation. Calvinist believe regeneration precedes belief and I still believe belief precedes regeneration.Ok, how about T-_-L-_-P? All you need to do now is buy a vowel. ;^)

This is where I stand.
T is total depravity. I agree with this to the extent that we are born sinners. I'm not too keen on the idea that one such as this can do nothing good or pleasing... ever.
L is Limited Atonement. I agree with this in that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is only effectual to those who believe in Him. He made have died for all men, but only those men who place His Blood on the doorpost will be saved.
P is Persistence of the Saints. OSAS.
Unconditional Election and Irresistable Grace remove man's free will choice to choose or reject Him and this is where I disagree with calvinism.
