But I have never noticed that SBs are particularly "Calvinist" (AoGs may be a different matter).
And even a Calvinist, if he has his head on straight, will note that one's living his life in such a state of debauchery is likely a sign that one is not Elect.
For myself, I think that they just didn't really think that much about it. Hence, my point about so many of them of my acquaintance being "shallow."

AoG definately NOT of the Calvinist tradition.

Rigid Calvinism tends toward a kind of existentialism that most Southern Baptists eschew. ("I am what I am, and boy I HOPE what I am is saved.") Loose Calvinism (you have a valid choice, but once saved always saved) is more typical of SB.
