"...as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.” The Gentiles believed, and were appointed for eternal life
That's not what the verse says. Can you read? Is dyslexia a problem?
The verse says all those who were first appointed to eternal life then believed.

The Rabid Calvinist cult wants
CONTROL!!
They wish to set up their police-state to enforce their idea that
Calvinism = Christianity
Which is FALSE and egotistical -- just like Calvin himself, are Calvin's followers

Actually, it doesn't say that. I know this is one of the favorite proof texts for unconditional election proponents, but the problem arises from the use of the Authorized Version that used the Vulgate to translate that verse. The Vulgate has praeordinati meaning "preordained." The Greek text doesn't support this. The word there is tasso which doesn't ever carry the meaning of "preordained" anywhere else it is used in the New Testament.
