Calvinism: some have been predestined to receive eternal toys, others have not.

Nuance:

Moderate Calvinism: only the elect receive eternal toys, but the non-elect receive temporal toys in this life.

High Calvinism: only the elect receive eternal toys and temporal toys, the non-elect get no toys in this life.

Moderate Calvinism: eternal toys are sincerely offered to the non-elect.

High Calvinism: there is no well-meant offer of toys to the non-elect.
