I believe in Divine Sovereignty, but I also believe in human responsibility. Calvinism is not rank fatalism.

How can humans be responsible for their choices without free will? How is Calvinism not completely deterministic.

Because free will is not neutral. Our "free will" fell in the Garden and we now choose to sin, of our free will. It is not until we have been born again that our free will can choose to come to Christ.
