There comes a point where we have to have the humility . . .

Relying on your own faith to save you is hardly an exercise in humility.

If I may interrupt your discussions with others...

I am a member of a PCA church who comes from a decidedly non-reformed background, and predestination is the one Calvinist concept I really have difficulty with.

Specifically, can you explain to me, if we are already prechosen, 2 Peter 3:9 -

9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Bold is mine

I await your reply, and welcome those on the non-Calvinist side to post their thoughts/interpretations as well as I humbly attempt to come to terms with my own conflicting theological views.
