God does not 'elect' anyone person as God is no respector of persons.

'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.

God hath dealt to every man THE measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3)

The definite article "THE" is not in the Greek.

 
God   g2316
θεός theos
 
hath dealt g3307
μερίζω merizō
to every man g1538
ἕκαστος hekastos
 
the measure g3358
μέτρον metron
 
of faith. g4102
πίστις pistis
 

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?
