The outward call to repent and believe goes out to all men everywhere so that none is without excuse.

But the inward call of God to His children is targeted, specific, determined, intentional and accomplishes all that God ordains.

"I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine." -- John 17:9

Where does scripture say God gives an outward call that cannot be obeyed, and an inward call that cannot be resisted?

Yes, Jesus prays for those who believe and are in Him. That does NOT teach “For God so loved some of the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever God chooses to give belief to should not perish but have eternal life.”
