It's impossible to sustain that claim. God does not choose winners; he chooses losers - Paul tells us to adopt as our own slogan "God saves sinners, of whom I am the worst" - and makes them winners. But he does
not pick "winners."
This is another example of the danger of the attempt to adopt colloquial theology. Its hard to do so and stay orthodox. Only C.S. Lewis, J. Budziszewsk, and Lauren Winner have ever pulled it off in my experience.

A lot of people around here think thta CS Lewis is a rank heretic. I suspect it is the same people who think that Chuck Smith is a rank heretic.

You are simply saying that God chooses sinners (losers), something with which I heartily agree.
On the other hand, God chooses believers (winners), something with which I also heartily agree. No one in heaven will be an UNbeliever.
