You point blank, refuse to read the New Testament.
The Jews were grafted out and can be grafted back in, it depends on whether they believe.
The Gentiles are grafted in but can be grafted back out.
This disproves Calvinism, the elect cannot be grafted back out. (Romans 11:17-23)
Read Romans and stop playing the theology game.

Again, one is either in this world as a vessel of wrath or a vessel of mercy. Rom 9:20-23
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

When God tells us we are saved by faith through his grace and not of ourselves and thus we cannot take credit, that's unconditional election.
If that isn't believed , God's words, I don't think we're obligated by our own words to try and convince the naysayers.
When God can't teach them we certainly can't reach them.
Emmanuel Jesus said he has other sheep that are not of this fold.

Only God the Spirit convinces men of the Truth, Im merely earnestly contending for the Faith that was once delivered unto the Saints, now who believes it, thats entirely out of my control. Jude 1:3
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Now unconditional election is a tenet of that Faith/Doctrine

The reference shows lost people being pleaded by God to return.
God supposedly doesn't plead for people to return to the faith or come to the faith in your make belief doctrine where God chooses His Own and forces them to Believe.
The beauty about Ezekiel 33 is that it proves You and those who share your same doctrine are nothing but LIARS.
which is not shocking since God did say every man is a liar compared to God.
Difference is, you proved it!

We know that God elected individuals to Salvation because they as individuals believe in time, yet they were ordained to eternal life before time Acts 13:48
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
Eternal Life was promised before the world began Titus 1:2
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Now who was it promised to but to them He ordained to eternal life
Now the actual persons ordained to eternal life were not in actual existence, yet their Covenant Head and Sponser Christ Jesus was, and it was to Him as their Head was the promise made, hence John writes 1 Jn 2:25
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 6

Calvinism is a sect, a faction, a theological opinion within Christianity.
1 Corinthians 11:19
For there also have to be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.
Galatians 5:20
Idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions...
Aminianism is also a factional party, a theology, within Christianity.
That is why when someone claims to be baptized by Calvin, all hell breaks loose.
John 6:40
For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.

Where does it say in the scripture, if you believe in limited atonement you are saved?
John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies".
I can see clearly that, to believe in Jesus results in eternal life.
Still trying to find where it says, to believe in limited atonement grants eternal life.
