'People elect' to RECEIVE The Gift or NOT. And it is by faith they do it as God has dealt to every man THE measure of faith.
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE measure of faith. (Romans 12:3)
If I understand your post correctly, you definitely do not agree with Calvinism.
The definite article "THE" is not in the Greek.

I'm not sure what your point was, but if it is dependent upon the definite article "THE" preceeding the word "measure", it ain't in the original and hence, your point is not supported by scripture.
Are you relying on scripture or the interpretations of the KJV translating committee?
