Those who believe in the eternal security of the believer are usually more biblically aware than that and will take the WHOLE of Scripture as a rule of faith and practice.

Sadly, that's not been my observation. If anything, there really ARE a somewhat significantly greater number of Calvinist folks who seem to feel excused, safe, something to go on doing whatever the blazes they jolly well feel like doing and thinking of their decision for Christ as a 'GET OUT OF THE FIRE FOREVER' FREE CARD with few or no strings, oughts, shoulds, absolutely prescribed behaviors attached.

We truly have different experience then. I have been around Calvinists all of my life and they are the most pious (in a good way) people I know.

Believing in eternal security and being a Calvinist are not necessarily the same thing. Many Baptists believe in E.S. but are not Calvinists.
