In the end, it’s not Calvin v. Arminius, it’s monergism v. synergism.
Mongergism means that God saved me, from start to finish.
Synergism means that, to borrow a line from an old commercial, “It’s Shake ‘n’ Bake and I Helped” (with my decision).
If I helped in any manner whatsoever wouldn’t that give me cause for boasting?
Isn’t having a cause for boasting in violation of Eph 2:8-9?
Food for thought and discussion, for the brave spirits among us.
The Battle Cry 
I guess I get to talk to myself!
So B4B, if we make a decision for Christ (which we must do), and it doesn’t actually ‘help’ in the salvation process, what role does our decision play in salvation? If we need to confront our sin, deciding to believe in and trust Christ for our salvation, how can it be that the decision itself does NOT help?
