1. What is the purpose for the non-elect to repent? 2. What is the purpose for the elect to repent?

The non-elect will never repent. God will call and call but they will never come. Noah spent 120 years preaching all the while he was building an ark that would only seat 8 people.

The purpose of the elect to repent is to submit to God. He is holy and He expects it of us. We just don't appreciate HOW holy God really is. We can only come to Him through Christ without being consumed.

“The non-elect will never repent. God will call and call but they will never come. “

Then why does God tell all men to repent if the non elect will never repent? That doesn’t seem very productive.

And why does God call them at all, if they are non elect and it won’t do any good anyway? That doesn’t seem very productive either.

“We can only come to Him through Christ without being consumed.”

Could you elaborate on this please?
