My "tongue in cheek" response is we all believe that The Godhead saved and redeemed us, but we Calvinist have a better soteriology on exactly what the scriptures teach on this, but all saved are saved regardless if 5 pointers or not

Yes, I've read his sermons where he addressed those issues.
But I really didn't know he was a 5 point Calvinist. Never heard him say that and I guess I wasn't that interested.
I suppose everyone here thinks I'm a Calvinist hater judging from my posts.
I'm not, their faith is in the same place as mine.
What gets me going is the light cast of God through the belief of the 5 points.
I suppose you could call me a Calvinist to some degree, I can go along with total depravity, but I can't go any further.
Another thing that you could say gives most of you the advantage, especially in Christian history, is the fact that I don't gather any information whatsoever from the internet.
My interests in Christianity are very limited, unlike many. I've spent my entire adult life studying the Scripture, and have only scratched the surface.
My hands are full with learning God's Word, it's all I care about anymore.

On that we agree, except for the Calvinist better understanding, lol.
But we can set aside our differences and times, I think the Lord smiles on such.
May I recommend a book to you? Spurgeon versus Hyper-Calvinism by Iain Murray, published by Banner of Truth. It is a fascinating read and will show you that there were at least two versions of Calvinism.Calvinism today has so many branches, not so much in Spurgeon's day.
I found this on line: https://www.spurgeongems.org/sermon/chs002.pdf It's not the book, but an extract from Spurgeon's autobiography.

I have the Morning and Evening devotional, and The Life and Works of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, by Dr. Henry D. Northrop, which was a birthday gift from an old friend who happened to be a Calvinist.
