Good day, Bob
Seeing you are begging the question:
"Calvinist appeal "nothing you decide here today will change your future in the least ."
Ok source of one teacher of the Doctrines of Grace
They call it "unconditional election" and "irresistible grace"
"Hyper-Calvinism denies the necessity of human action"
"
Hyper-
Calvinism is a branch of Protestant theology that d
enies the universal duty of human beings to believe in Christ into the salvation of their souls."

============== Spurgen on Unconditional Election
Spurgeon further asserted, “God from the beginning chose His people; when the unnavigated ether was yet unfanned by the wing of a single angel, when space was shoreless, or else unborn, when universal silence reigned, and not a voice or whisper shocked the solemnity of silence, when there was no being, and no motion, no time, and naught but God Himself, alone in His eternity.” In eternity past, God sovereignly set His affections on a particular people and predestined their salvation. Moreover, sovereign election, Spurgeon affirmed, was based not on divine foresight but on divine foreordination: “‘But,’ say others, ‘God elected them on the foresight of their faith.’ Now, God gives faith,
therefore He could not have elected them on account of faith which He foresaw.”
============== Spurgeon on irresistible grace
Charles Spurgeon affirmed the doctrine of
irresistible grace. This is the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit, who convicts, calls, draws, and regenerates elect sinners. This work unfailingly results in the faith of all those chosen. All whom the Father chose in eternity past and all those for whom the Son died are those whom the Spirit brings to faith in Jesus Christ. None whom the Father elected and for whom Christ died fail to believe. The Holy Spirit grants repentance and faith to these elect sinners and ensures their conversion.
This irresistible call is distinct from the general call of the gospel.
The former is extended only to the elect and cannot be resisted

The term "Hyper-Calvinist" is sometimes used as a pejorative; Jim Ellis suggests that "it seems as if anyone to the right of one's own theological position is fair game to be labeled a hyper-Calvinist."[8] Notwithstanding this, people who have been described as Hyper-Calvinists include John Skepp (d. 1721),[11] Lewis Wayman (d. 1764),[12] John Brine (d. 1765),[12] and John Gill (d. 1771).[12]
David Engelsma notes that his own denomination, the Protestant Reformed Churches in America, has been labelled as "Hyper-Calvinist" for its rejection of the "well-meant offer of the gospel".[13]
"Curt Daniel defines Hyper-Calvinism as "that school of supralapsarian Five Point Calvinism which so stresses the sovereignty of God"
