Actually, the Calvinist would acknowledge they would not have received the inheritance unless they had been chosen by an outside party. Then they would do everything in their power to make their calling and election sure. Of course, it might not work out in the end, but that would be okay, because that too would have been according to the will of God.Not to mention that Calvinists in the real world would never apply the same principles or reasoning they do as when they come over to God. They say that if one claims they've believed and received and God acted that's somehow being some type of works salvation. It's all got to be God. Well Salvation is all of God but their way of reasoning is absurd.
If someone gave one an inheritance and they were responsible to go to the lawyer and sign on to receive it would they say they're not going? Would they say the one who gave the inheritance has got to pick me up in the car, drive me to the lawyers, carry me in the office and move my hand with the pen? "Well I don't want anybody to say I did anything to merit it?"
My point is Calvinists don't think anything like that about whatever else in life and they'd call it crazy if they heard one slow walked their inheritance because they didn't want to do what it took to accept it. But why not? Why couldn't someone say well you had to sign the documents so you did something to merit it? The dearly departed loved one would probably wish they never gave it to them in the first place to hear talk that they felt they did something to merit it by merely signing on to it.
