I just find it hilarious how you think you know more than so many people here with whom you do not agree.
I would not KNOW what I KNOW if God was not FIRST in my life... but I do support people like @dcontroversal and @throughfaith and @Nehemiah6 who stand on the truth with regards to Calvinsism and are not afraid to call out heresy like your dogma .... "I was chosen apart from hearing and belief"
I typically do not respond to your posts since you do not know proper hermeneutics of understanding scripture and you deny the need for context.

And why would God hide the plan of salvation, make it a confidential matter, when He took on the sins of the world out of pure love for fallen humanity.
And how can we carry on the Great Commission if all has not been revealed so we can spread the word?
There are no secrets in the process of salvation... and irresistible grace is not biblical hence "Chosen" as a select group is not biblical.
Matthew 23:37: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and YE WOULD NOT!"
John 5:39-40: "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And YE WILL NOT come to me, that ye might have life."
Acts 7:51: "Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always RESIST the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye."
Proverbs 1:24-26: "Because I have called, and YE REFUSED; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh."
Proverbs 29:1: "He, that being often reproved HARDENETH HIS NECK, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."

Those who follow the Holy Spirit (1) adhere strictly to the Word of God, not the doctrines of men, and (2) allow the Holy Spirit to compare Scripture with Scripture to establish Gospel Truth. So what is Gospel Truth as plainly revealed in Scripture?
1. Adam's disobedience brought the curse of sin and death upon all mankind.
2. Therefore all human beings are sinners and need a Savior.
3. Christ took upon Himself the sins of the whole world as the Lamb of God.
4. God desires that all men should be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5. Therefore God now commands all men everywhere to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
6. Christ commanded that this Gospel be preached to all nations and to every creature. Which means that absolutely no one is excluded from the grace of God and the finished work of Christ.

Amen......like the one who is saved yet so as by fire with all of their works of wood, hay and stubble being roasted.........
What can one expect from a person that claims a gospel-less salvation that was willed by God and they had no choice in the matter.....The main peddler of Calvin fixed her right up!!
