No one can call upon the name of the Lord ------God the Father has to change your heart to even come close to Him -----only God knows who's heart is ready to be Changed from a stone heart to a soft Heart and He is the only one who can change that ------
You have to be drawing by the Father ---to come to Jesus ----to be saved ----all people need a Heart Change ---and only God knows when your heart is ready to be changed -----
John 6:44
Amplified Bible
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him [giving him the desire to come to Me]; and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day.
And this world ELECT you keep PUSHING AROUND ----MEANS THIS
Typically, 1588 /eklektós ("select, chosen") describes people who choose to follow the Lord, i.e. become God's choice by freely receiving faith (4102 /pístis) from Him
God know the heart of the person who is ready to follow the Lord and changes their Hardened heart to a soft heart to receive the Gospel which INBIRTHS CHRIST FAITH IN THE PERSON TO BE SAVED ------
You need SERIOUS TRAINING IN GOD AND HIS WORD ----it seems
GOD's word it seems is BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE ------
You are speaking of yourself when you are claiming no one can call upon the name of the Lord. You have not allowed yourself to be ready to call upon the name of the Lord.
Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
Trolls don't answer questions, they only ask them.Only the elect can call upon the name of the Lord and be saved.
Read this ----no sinner can call upon the Lord ---they are away from God ---your a Sinner until youaccept God the Father's drawing and you repent ----and get Faith from hearing the Gospel
Again you need SERIOUS TRAINING ____In God and His Word ---your showing your ignorance -----Satan has your mind Blinded Spiritually -----
Satan causes ---
God does not hear people in their sin -so sinners calling on the name of the Lord is FRUITLESS ----God has to draw you and change your heart so you can repent -----
Isaiah 59
Separation from God
2
But your wickedness has separated you from your God,
And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.
3
For your hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with wickedness [with sin, with injustice, with wrongdoing];
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue mutters wickedness.
4
No one sues righteously [but for the sake of doing injury to others—to take some undue advantage], and no one pleads [his case] in truth; [but rather]
They trust in empty arguments and speak lies;
They conceive trouble and bring forth injustice.

Ephesians 1:4
As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.
Would God rather have his elect alienate others with their boasting, or preach salvation openly to seek the elect who are yet lost?
Wasn't everyone here lost themselves until they found Christ at a place & time? Aren't the bibles we have the work of others who hope whoever reads them are saved?
If the saints you learned from sat idle in ther 'election', you wouldn't be elect either.

This might've provided me a moment of clarity, which is becoming all to0 rare with all the commercial promotional broadcasting!
The elect, collectively, are those designated to rule, and this jells with God's original design from the foundation of the earth, that (the) Adam(ses) should have dominion... except (some of) the formerly ruling party, which was subjugated to serve this 'newly elected' didn't care much for this idea, so the polls were intentionally confounded...
AI Overview
In some Christian theological traditions, particularly those influenced by Calvinism, only the "elect"—those predestined by God for salvation—can be saved. However, other interpretations emphasize that anyone who truly believes and seeks in Christ for salvation can be saved, regardless of whether they are part of the elect, citing verses like John 3:16 and the idea that God's love and invitation to salvation are extended to all.

Arguments for Limited Salvation (Calvinism)
- Predestination:
.Opens in new tab
This view holds that God has chosen from eternity who will be saved, and this choice is not dependent on a person's actions or faith.
- Electing Love:
.Opens in new tab
God's love for the elect is seen as a special, electing, saving love that is distinct from his general love for all creation.
- Whosoever Will May Come:
This perspective highlights biblical passages that extend salvation to anyone who believes and repents, emphasizing that God's grace is sufficient for all.
- God's Desire for All:
Some interpretations argue that God desires the salvation of all people and that those who perish do so because they reject God's grace.
- Sufficient Grace:
The idea that everyone has been given enough grace to be saved is a central concept, though the debate exists on whether this leads to "double predestination" or simply makes salvation possible for everyone.
- Knowing You're Elect:
Some traditions, such as the one mentioned in the YouTube video, suggest that the way a person knows they are one of the elect is by repenting and coming to Christ in faith.
- Universal Invitation:
God invites everyone to salvation through various means, including natural revelation, conscience, and the gospel.
God invites everyone to Salvation through ONE DOOR accepting By Faith His Son Jesus Christ
Noah's Ark had ONE DOOR and all who entered were saved ---everyone else perished ---the Ark was the forerunner for the ONE door to Salvation who was to come -----Jesus Christ
