You may be right; if so, your God is not worth believing and you are no better off than anybody else, including atheists. Atheists can be elect, right?
See you at the Judgment !

You will see !
It won't be because you're logic is sound, nor that you're assurance is sure. If you make it to the sheep, it will definitely have to be cause you couldn't help it; you will surely have had to have been one of the elect, or, just under God's mercy. There is definitely no way you earned it.
Many in false religion teach that the condition for one to get saved is to believe on Christ,... Eph 2:8-9 !
Acts 16:27-34 Blackbirdking version in sync with Beloved on behalf of that saint, John Calvin:
'He drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Sir you must do nothing; you are either elect or damned, as the good Lord ordained. And they spake unto him the word of John Calvin, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, hoping to be elect with all his house.'
Calvinism is the Gospel, the Truths of Tulip !
You don't even know what Calvinism is.
You still know people's heart, and like to judge.

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
