Overall, Calvinism is incompatible with free will.
God's Sovereign Will is everpresent and always ready to be enacted at His good pleasure...
...but He does not exercise it for absolutely every minute decision that is made by mortal man, as Calvinism purports.
If a man were to kill another man in cold blood and then refuse to come to Jesus to recieve remission of sins, this would be no contradiction to God's commandment not to murder, according to Calvinism, because God would be responsible for making that man commit murder and then blocking the notion of recieving Christ for forgiveness from his heart.
I don't see how anyone could come to the conclusion that this is how God interacts with His creation.
I expect derision; que sera sera.
Change my mind.
