What is "free will believer" and "grace believer", please clarify?

He is a Calvinist, and Calvinists do not believe we have the ability to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior of our own free will, but they believe God must enable us by Election to salvation by a previous regeneration. Calvinists believe in Unconditional Election which is the belief that God elects (chooses) some to be saved and others by default not to be saved contrary to their free will. So if a person goes to hell, it’s ultimately God’s choice and not man’s choice that put them there. I know it sounds crazy, but that is what many Calvinists believe. Granted, there are different shades of Calvinism, but this at the heart of what they believe. They believe God forces salvation upon a select group of people called the Elect, and God did not die for the sins of the whole world. They believe God only died for the Elect He chosen and these are the ones who will persevere until the end and have salvation. Their main theology is taking Romans 9 out of context. Another thing I don’t like about Calvinism is that some will say that God even decreed evil, etc. Many like John MacArthur appear to be for holy living (with his Lordship Salvation doctrine) but it is a Trojan horse. He really does not believe holiness is necessary because he has claimed that a Christian can commit suicide and be saved and he has claimed that a Christian take the mark of the beast and be saved, etc.

Calvinists have created a five point system. They are called Calvinists because they follow or revere John Calvin in some way.
