What you are saying is that until someone converts you to the apostolic faith you'll stick with a transparent exegetical fraud of Calvin.

You forget. I fell for that synergistic belief for over 30+ years. I was a Calvinist convert the last several years by the grace of God.

That is my point, sort of: that your present beliefs are not based on any rational reading of the scripture. If they were, your would not be ingesting Calvin's transparent falsehoods where the scripture is spun to fit the dogma. Calvinism is a crude belief system that is easy to explain in 30 seconds or less, and it attracts people. But it is brazenly unscriptural.
