Scriptural refutation of "Calvinistic Predestination"

A. The Bible teaches predestination, but not Calvinistic Predestination:

Bible predestination is where God pre-determined, not the identity of the saved, but the character of the saved

We are not opposed to predestination, for the Bible teaches it. However, Calvin's view of predestination is entirely unbiblical and therefore false doctrine.
