Yup, that's the part. As you can see, bishop Minatios did not say anything St. Augustine did not say.

You mean it depend on how nice a person is going to be whether God will love him.

Nope, I don't mean that, nor did the bishop. God loves everyone, so those who love him back, and those who reject him both get what they want.

Yup, that's the part. As you can see, bishop Minatios did not say anything St. Augustine did not say.

Honestly, in making such a statement do you even understand what Augustine is saying?

Augustine - 'God did not therefore choose the works of any one in foreknowledge of what He Himself would give them, but he chose the faith, in the foreknowledge that He would choose that very person whom He foreknew would believe on Him,—to whom He would give the Holy Spirit,”

Bishop Minatios - for He foreknows that the person will be good and of an obedient will.

These are two distinct views. Augustine believes everything comes from God including a person’s obedient will. Augustine plains says that God chooses man's faith. Bishop Minatios, with all due respect, is spouting the Pelagius heresy that believe man’s goodness is what saves him. Augustine would bop you on the head with his cane if he heard you say that about him.
