Never heard of Calvinism...I’ve been meaning
Amen!....Amen!......Amen!.
That's correct, he chose us unto salvation. We did receive him because we were born of God, John 1:12-13, all the glory goes to him. It's not that we "chose salvation" either, he chose us unto salvation. 2 Thessalonians 2:13. It is all Him. Keep the faith Sister, Jude 1:4. 
Amen!....Amen!......Amen!.

I know very sad
It is just the wrong vantage point "going on and on" about how He does not owe.... who has stated He owes... no one.
I like this truth...............
“Jesus became what we are that we might become what he is.” Such is grace. Such is love.
We rejoice in what He chose to do, because He loved us that much... if He owed it to us there would be no Love.

I can use whatever terminology is fitting. And "owed" is fitting.
Like let's say some may teach God cannot be a God of love unless he gives the person an opportunity for salvation. If he sent them to hell by exercising justice instead without that then he could not be a God of love.
That is in essence saying people are owed that chance based upon some peoples criteria of what God must do.

I did stop going to church because of a bad experience in one.
But God has always been in my heart....I could never contemplate not following him....he is deep in my Soul/Spirit......without him I would surely die,x
Went back to church 6 months ago....I feel alive again in Christ...xx

AMEN!![/QUOTE]
Amen?
Please tell me you do not believe this?
It does not empty the cross of the power.
Remember Jesus said he must be lifted up and as moses lifted up the seprent in the wilderness so must man be lifted up so that whoever believes.
The children of Israel had to chose in faith to look up at the serpent on the pole.. They looked up. Like you and I looked up to the cross in faith.
Did they Earn their salvation because they looked to the serpent?
No. No more than we can EARN salvation by looking to the cross
