So, something that is chosen of God and He alone has sovereignty over ALL, then, why should we place any concern for the time element involved? It would not even concern us, correct?
You never understood traditional Calvinism

They don't want to understand it, that much has been made abundantly clear. They've just taken to bashing Calvinism to prop up their heresies. I've seen people do it with the Catholic tradition, never with the Reformed tradition. Bunch of oddballs :chuckle:
I do what the spirit leads me to do according to God's pleasure, not yours nor under your demand. Are you threatening God if I don't do it your way? So far I have refuted you with God's word and yet you never heard. You got the general call but not the effectual call. Maybe you will tonight, we'll see.Ok, let's see you do it then.
Baffling.
Show me where I do that.

Your questions have holes in them . . .and you believe in a false gospel.
I will pray it is only a temporary delay in understanding that you suffer, due to poor/wicked teaching.
If your errors prove to be eternal, then we will know on the last day that God turned you over to delusion because you do not love His Truth.
Arminians have been trying to destroy the foundations of the Reformed faith for hundreds of years, to their own spiritual harm.
I have lost count of how many have confronted me with a fail-proof argument, that they think will silence our testimony once and for all, but all have failed.
Because we proclaim the Gospel Truth and we are the messengers of God that will not be silenced, but will produce eternal fruit exactly as God wills.
Not being effectively called means they never understood your testimonies but you testified cause God instructed you to do it anyway. They might be born again a year from now remembering what you said. For now, they hate you for proclaiming the gospel .I am Reformed and I have testified in this thread, that I proclaim the Gospel indiscriminately to all, and then leave it up to God as to who He might bestow His saving grace . . for I have no idea who is elect or not, or who is non-elect today, but might be regenerate to new spiritual life tomorrow.
Did you read the above testimony of Zanchius, who reminds us that Jesus Christ preached Truth to all within hearing, and He DID know who would believe or not.
The Gospel is a two-edged sword; it either blesses with salvation, or it condemns unbelief. It either saves the soul or judges the soul.

That is true. Arminius, and everyone else, were students of Calvinism and they went off and pretty much condemned all the great theologians in history as 'Stoics'.
Just to go and make theology that collapses in on itself and rejects the sovereignty of God
I'll say it again, Jesus saves his people.You refuse to preach as Paul did.
What more needs to be said?
I'll say it again, Jesus saves his people.
