What would be suggested Non Calvinist Systematic theology readings then?

No, as we define total depravity as lost sinners will not accept coming to Christ to save them, but instead will try to get to God via religion of Good works and self righteousness

More fiction, more misrepresentation.

Did anyone say or suggest "coming to Christ" (meaning putting our faith in Christ) results in salvation? Nope

And still no acknowledgement of Christ died as a ransom for all, (Paul), false teachers prevented entry (Matthew), the rich young ruler sought eternal life (Mark), many seek the narrow door (Luke) Christ is the means of reconciliation (John), and we once were not a people (Peter)!

I don’t think so. Calvin believed in baptism for regeneration. He believed that infant baptism washed original sin and you have to look back to it for your salvation. But I don’t expect many Calvinists have read that part of what he wrote. It’s not very popular considering Scripture says that the just live by faith and not infant baptism.

We are Calvinist Baptists, so would agree with Calvin in regards to doctrines of Grace, but none in regards to his take on infant baptism and all aspects of his Covenant Theology?

ALL systematic Theology originates out from the bible, so what would be the non Calvinist counterpart to Calvin Institutes, or Erickson or Grudem Systematic theologies?

I was kidding. And systematic theology does not originated from the Bible.

Several good ones have already been mentioned.

Timpe is good from a free will perspective.
Finger from an Anabaptist perspective
MacGregor is good from an Arminianistic perspective

There are several Lutheran ones, Wesleyan ones, .....

Christian doctrines, whether true of false, all claim to be based on the Bible. However, I provided six examples where Calvinist Theology conflicts with scripture, thus marking those parts as false.

No matter how many advocates of those false doctrines shout, I am right, you are wrong, they still cannot refute scripture, only rewrite it so it says something else, like those that seek to do not find did not seek. Utter nonsense.
