What do Calvinists hang their hat on? Total depravity. If this idol can fall then all 5 points of Calvinism are destroyed. Total depravity means nobody will ever choose Christ unless irresistibly regenerated first. They use phrases like "man is dead" or "fleshly."

But let's look at Scripture more closely. "3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)" (2 Cor. 10.3,4). "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" (Rom. 8.4).

Believers still have the flesh, but we do not war according to the flesh. Before man is born-again, he is flesh. After the new birth man still has the flesh. The flesh may be rendered "ineffective" (meaning of "destroyed" in Rom. 6.6), but the flesh is still there and singularly powerful. Likewise before salvation and after a person can accept the cross by the grace of God and wooing of the Holy Spirit.

Calvinism is such terrible nonsense. For example, Mark 6.12 says, "So they went out and preached that people should repent." Why would anyone go out and preach that people should repent if they are unable to? They can't be preached to unless they were irresistibly made to repent. Calvinism comes straight from the pit of Hell and is ass backwards.
