I see you simply read that verse( 2 cor 5.19 ) and that was your conclusion. Thats what reading the Bible without a system dictating does . What else is the verse saying ? 18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
? Going to the book of Acts to see the Acts of the apostles is best practice. Not to derive Doctrines from . 29 different conversion accounts is not the pattern for doctrine to be established on .

Actually you could say more accurately that one group is CHOSEN for salvation and the other group is ABANDONED to damnation. Not CHOSEN to damnation. Why? Because they don't want to be saved. Because they love their sin. Because they resist the Holy Spirit. Because they commit the unpardonable sin. Maybe lots of similar things.
That is just some off-the-cuff commentary. Not meant to be doctrine. Nothing more than a reaction to what you have stated. Whether it makes sense or not, or is scriptural or not, I leave up to you.
