This is what the word of God says: For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His mercy He saved us.........' Whom did He save? Paul and Titus. No one else is mentioned. How did He save them? '........Through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour' (Titus 3:3-6). Washing and renewal = water and Spirit (John 3:5). God saves us by giving us new birth. How much say did we get about our first birth? None. How much say do we get about our second birth? None. It is all of God and none of us. Is there any mention of Paul or Titus getting a say in whether they were saved or not? No.
'Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb.' It does not belong to sinful man, because if it did there would be no one saved (John 6:44 again and Romans 3:10-18). -

Clearly God's Spirit does strive with all sinners. Please be honest in your replies. -
Apparently God does strive with all men, but instead of loving the light, they (the unbeliever) love darkness.
Again, your theology is wrong. -
120 years later there was a global flood. The point is God's Spirit was striving with sinners, but they did not repent:
Again, your theology is off...it is in error. You need to seriously set aside Calvin and study the Bible for yourself.
