You have not been called; and not having been called, you have no assurance. You cannot make your calling and election sure until you have come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Your responsibility is to come.

If one is not of the elect, according to calvinsim this cannot happen.

"If one is not of the elect, according to calvinsim this cannot happen."

If one is not 'elect' they will not want it to happen. - If you have a true interest in the things of the Lord, then you are elect.

Let's just suppose for a moment that you hate cheesecake and let's just suppose for a moment that I absolutely love cheesecake. Let's suppose that you absolutely love a big thick mesquite grilled rib eye and let's suppose that I love a good rib eye, but not as much as I love cheesecake. Let's also suppose that by lot (lanchano in the Greek) the cheesecake falls to me and the steak falls to you. You really have no cause to complain about not getting the cheesecake for what right do you have to complain about not getting something which you hate anyway?
