No insult . You don’t seem to have a grasp of the doctrine.
You are pointing out the results of election not of irresistible grace better put effectual calling .

I agree with your post Decon, but I don’t know what the Calvinistic view would be. ??

The view others put forward is that when/where "all" or "the world" is said, it only applies to those who believe.

Therefore, for instance, John 3:16 does not mean the whole world, but only believers.

Bill......Calvinism says GOD LOVES man A and he gets to enter the proverbial pearly gates and man B is sol and God chooses him to burn in hell....

The Bible says God loves ALL MEN, DIED FOR ALL MEN and would have ALL MEN be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.....and God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked!

Ok how does the light bulb 💡 turn on . Was it something in the man that led this to happen .
Was the preacher just that good?
it couldn’t be God right ?

It was not because god took a person dead in sin and made him alive before he was justified

For some people
Pride is so deep the lightbulb will
Never come on

Yes. It is open the Holy Spirit convicts that person of sin righteousness and judgment. If that person has any hope god will send the word. Missionaries has witnessed this for years.
