By the way sis...you were right about dc...it just took a while for me to wake up....so thanks for that,x
Looking back to 2015 when God was calling me , I did not know it , yet I was so drawn to Him...
I remember saying to God " I know of Your Son , but I do not know Him " , it was in the time I was under the mental health system , I was in a world of my own , tormented by Satan in a serious way...
I remember buying a bible , and seeing my sins , I was broken for months , and it took me a good long while to understand why Jesus died for me , and once I saw that , I came and said " Yes LORD , I am a sinner , and agreed with all He was showing me , and today , I love Him more and more as I keep seeking Him to be like Him , although I fail so many times , I am His , and He is mine Amen...

Refutation if irrestible grace
Even though we "feel" like we could not resist we must look at it from a scripture lens.
God receives no Glory at all when men are compulsed to choose Him... it is by the choice to follow that God is glorified, but Calvinist will deny this.
God only loves only some unto salvation... a capricious, morally ambiguous God. Not the God of the Bible.
- "Why do you call me Lord & don't do what I say" Lk 6:46 Why? God willed it that way!
- "Whosoever believes shall be saved" Jn 3:16 (Rather whosoever God makes a believer)
- "Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Re 22:17
- "And whosoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them." Lk 9:5 (Testimony against God you mean)
- "Come to me you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest" Mt 11:28

Serious question , looking to learn 
...
Is God`s calling not irresistible , I mean , when Jesus called Matthew , Peter , Andrew etc , did they not just drop their nets and follow , and Matthew left his stall and followed...
I see this calling irresistible , but like I said , I am still learning...
Is the elect different from the calling of God to others?...

There are two words that apply to the saved in particular, saints and elect....One (saints) is who we are in Christ as Holy, the other (elect) is who we are as chosen.
They say GOD said person A was chosen to be saved by God before the world was cast down....and person B was SOL and destined to burn in hell.....
I disagree with that view which is not biblical....what is BIBLICAL IS THE FOLLOWING
a. God determined before the casting down of the world to CHOSE all who come to him through his son...this is the election
1. God is under no obligation to call those that will not believe
2. God knows who will and who will not
3. MANY ARE CALLED, FEW ARE CHOSEN
many is not ALL
THE FEW of the MANY is even less
Why are some called but they do not make the FEW CHOSEN
Because GRACE CAN BE RESISTED some MEN REFUSE the call even though it is irrevocable.....
I HAVE SEEN THIS with my own eyes....A person CALLED, CONVICTED by the call, proven that God was calling them and yet they hardened their heart and resisted/rejected
Like the Roman....ALMOST THOU PERSUADEST ME....he said...
And the RICH young ruler walked away LOST though obviously convicted!

There are also many threads started by @Nehemiah6 who clearly refutes Calvinism if you want to read up on it.
