It is all about the proper understanding of God and ourselves.
Then it would help if you explained a little more. To the average reader, it would appear that Calvinism has a small number of elect that were just born that way, and the rest of humanity are born without any chance of salvation, hell being their pre-birth destination.
Why do Calvinists even bother talking about it since they are born to be saved? And why missionaries, the elect will get there anyway>
I think I already answered that in post 30.
And why missionaries, the elect will get there anyway>
Primarily because Jesus commanded us to do so. Seems like a good enough reason to me. ;-)
Spurgeon, that grand old Calvinist, said it best:
God did not put a yellow stripe on the faces of the elect, so we are commanded to preach the gospel to every creature, however only the elect will respond.
Contrary to popular urban legend, Calvin was deeply interested in evangelism and sent missionaries out from Geneva in order to find God's elect. (Sources available on request)
