re: “So we preach the Gospel to all, because we don’t know who is elect and who isn’t.”

So, you tell them that maybe God loves them, and that maybe God will choose them to be one of His Elect? Is that what you tell them? Do you tell them that they may be one of the ones who are destined for Hell?

**So, you tell them that maybe God loves them**

No.

That is not a Biblical construct. The whole Jesus loves you thing is a modern phenomena.

I tell them, in one way or another, hopefully over a long period of time, as has been with neighbors, that they are sinners and they have no hope except in Jesus.

New believers seem to be the ones most receptive to the idea of divine sovereignty. They almost sense it because they realize what just happened.
