Ah, but the man is a millionare whether or not he takes out a single penny. In fact, the bankers would call the funny farm on him if he walked into the bank and accepted his own money to become a millionare.

Come on, this isn't hard. In order for your analogy to be better, you would need to have the man walk into the bank and tell the teller that he is here for his promised million.

Of course, I'm guessing that the man will probably not get the response he wants.

And, you know what is really funny is that this Arminian analogy makes the man out to be a bank robber as he procures money that isn't his.

Later,
Christian.

Yes the money is his but he has to do something to get it, he has to go the bank and withdraw it.

The money is in an account with his name on it, but he has to go and ask for it.

Until then the money remains unused and unclaimed and the man in question could be as poor as dirt.

Exactly! (DUH)

why not if he has the account number?

And, you know what is really funny is that this Arminian analogy makes the man out to be a bank robber as he procures money that isn't his.

The money is in an account that he is given the number to.

Ever see the old show where someone was given a million dollars and the only requirement was that he could not tell anyone about it?

Well, here the only requirement is that you go the teller and give the account number.

The analogy makes too much sense.
