Calvinism teaches that God in eternity chose some and not others; that Christ died for some, but not others; and that the Holy Spirit called some, but not others.

This would want to make me go “Fatalist”.
I am saved, by God’s choosing, or He didn’t choose me. (How can I tell?)
So I’ll just live as whatever - I can’t do anything about it. God made up His mind.
Everyone I know has fought against the ideas presented in Calvinism. Even great preachers.
I did too.
The first response to it is, “THATS NOT FAIR!”
The truth is none of us would choose God of our own ability, meaning his word and standards. Many choose their idea of God though. There is a difference.
Keep arguing against the ideas, don’t give up but use God’s Word. As someone said to RC Sproul once, “It is on every page of the Bible.” Sproul responded, “No, but it is on every other page.”
