Calvin believed that every man was unable to believe in God until the Reformed Holy Spirit hijacked his soul, and thereafter, was unable to not believe in God. This is true slavery by force.

WOW! That's shocking! Where did he say that? Why did the Holy Spirit need to be Reformed?

TULIP. Throughout his writings. He doesn't - I merely separate the identification of the Reformed Holy Spirit with the Christian one so that there is a smaller chance of error in Christian versus Calvinist beliefs.
