Im speaking truth. It is a gift, yet you condition it on availing oneself, thats making it something you earned, a work of yours. Also you deprive Christ of His saving efficacy by His death, by believing people He died for can still be lost if they dont avail themselves, am I correct ?

Did a little back search on this thread and see that for some reason some people don't like some of what Calvin 'believed' and/or taught. My understanding was influenced to a great degree by Charles Spurgeon. Maybe people are critical of that. When I pray for the Holy Spirit to guide me it seems He does.
Maybe your understanding is better than mine, and since I also looked to see what date, you say you were saved, it seems you may have better insight. If you are just looking to debate Scripture, I am probably not the best to debate with, as my Scripture recollecting and knowledge is not that good.
Here is a link to the 'tenets' of the believers I intend to fellowship with in the near future. Seem to be ok.

Avail themselves:
avail oneself of something
to help oneself by making use of something that is available.
Avail themselves of - Idioms by The Free Dictionary
So availing oneself is conditioning salvation on oneself.
Yet Christs death in and of itself effects Salvation unto all for whom He died, all was conditioned on Him !

It is easier to be an excessive fanatic than it is to be consistently faithful, because God causes an amazing humbling of our religious conceit when we are faithful to Him.
The above is possibly attributed to Oswald Chambers. He was a Scotsman and died 1917. Read some of his info on Wiki. Interesting.

That's the gospel truth. If the sin done to our Lord Jesus doesn't make people sorry for sinning against him, nothing will. And as we grow in Christ and begin to experience some of what he suffered (for doing right), it's a humbling experience to respond to persecution with the love that Christ did. It's a pride crusher for sure.
The point is, if people aren't saved by repenting for having sinned against (God Christ), his sacrifice is meaningless.
Being "chosen" on the basis of something other than faith in Christ (God), is unscriptural. Faith in him + nothing.

To bring us to God !
Did Christs death accomplish its saving purpose ? Which was to bring Gods elect to God 1 Pet 3:18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Did His being put to death enough to bring about the desired effects, to bring People to God. The word bring prosagō:
to lead, to bring
to draw near to, approach
Its just like Ps 65:4
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
That blessed man is someone Christ died for.
