No division in elect and non-elect Gentiles, as none of them were My people

As He says also in Hosea: (a prophecy about the future)
“I will call them My people, who were not My people (Rom 9:25).

Calvinists then proceed to divide the Gentiles
into the following two categories;
the elect (who weren't God's people)
and the non-elect (who weren't God's people) !!!!!


Therefore, from now on, we (not Calvinists)
regard no one according to the flesh (2 Cor 5: 16).



Total Depravity;
Gentiles; who show the work of the law written in their hearts,

their conscience also bearing witness (Rom 2:15).

Unconditional Election;
But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life (John 5:40).


Limited Atonement;

if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all (2 Cor 5:14)

Irresistible Grace;

Perseverance of the Saints (OSAS)

be even more diligent to make your call and election sure (2 Pet 1:10).

I was hoping for a challenge as the elect do exists (Matthew 24:31) ,
but not elect according to being chosen like the Israelites as God's people.
but elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father (1 Peter 1:2).

In Ro 8:29 προγινώσκω may also be understood
as meaning ‘to know beforehand’ [Louw, J. P., & Nida, E. A. (1996)].

The question then arises what God knew beforehand?
That can only refer to those, who made a decision to come to Christ to get life.
