If there is anything "scary" about it, it is that some people will not be predestined to believe. A lot of people have a problem with the idea that God chooses who will believe and that some will not be chosen.

A good example of this that helped me understand is: Imagine in heaven there is a door you enter that on the front of it says: "Whosoever will..." and once you get inside, the other side of the door says: "Chosen in Him before the foundation of the world...".

I find it interesting that Arminianism hasn’t a problem with God choosing the nation of Israel, but do not want to allow Him to choose a New Israel as His people.

Not all Israel was saved, because they did not have the seal of the Holy Spirit that was given when the New Kingdom was ushered in. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
