This accurately sums up Calvinism in my opinion.
I do not know a SINGLE person who was forced to get saved and did not get saved by their own free will
SECOND I do not know a single backslider who was not saved first by their own free will and then backslid by their own free will
Does the passage below (Hebrews 6:4-6) mean a Christian can fall away and “lose their salvation”? Let’s assume for a moment that it does. What that also means, then, is that once a Christian loses their salvation, they can’t get it back since this passage says “it is impossible… to the restore them again to repentance”. If this passage means a Christian can lose their salvation, then it also means we get one chance to receive Christ and stay with Him. If this passage means a Christian can lose their salvation, then it also means if we walk away from the faith, we can’t come back home to the Lord as the man did in the parabel of the Prodigal Son did. Again, the passage states it is “impossible” to restore such people to repentance. I know of no one who believes this or teaches this. I have never heard a preacher say to the congregation “If you’re here today and you have fallen away from Christ, too bad. There’s nothing God can do for you anymore. You’re irrevecobly hopelessly doomed.” What this passage more likely refers to are people have been exposed to and participated in the things of the faith, yet whole heartedly rejected them never truly embracing Christ.
“For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.”
(Hebrews 6:4-6, ESV)

Calvinism can refer to several things, depending on context.
The important factor is the Calvinism affirms the sovereign of God and the doctrines of grace.
Personally I study the Bible, not Calvinism.
And all the Calvinist/Reformers did was to study Scripture.
Those who get the Gospel right are Calvinists.

As I have said many times, Calvinism is false doctrine that has become a cult behind false teachers like
Piper and MacArthur…!
