Most interesting, isn't it? God only picks "winners?"What I don't understand is if God picks winners, if He picks people who were going to choose Him anyway......what was the point of His picking them?
I mean, it's not like they needed His help to choose Him.

I think the Arminian (and perhaps the Catholic?) position sees election as some kind of ratification of the foreseen choice, whereas Calvinists see election as causative of conversion.
