While there is a definite truth in what you say, Calvinism and Arminianism are irreconcilable in their truest sense. Predestination and free will aren’t as much, but there is still a wide chasm. While there is a definite sense that God will not drag someone kicking and screaming into the kingdom against ‘their will’ our will is hopelessly set on sin, and unless God intervenes we are dead to him. Not only that but we hate him. There is no possible way we can choose him. Arminians say God chooses us because he foresees that will choose us, which I beleive scripture rebuts time and again. Nothing in ourselves would warrant such selection. And our free will could not help us. Salvation is only The work of God and I beleive those that emphasize mans choice more than Gods sovereignty spit in the face of his power and providence. That being said there are dear, dear people that hold to Arminianism, and I do not wish to die on the hill of predestination vs free will
