Dear Christian Soldier,My Shepherd told me that what your trying to do here is, understand the mystery of how Gods saves His people. He said, the truth is nobody will ever understand the mystery of why God chose to save those He chose. And nobody will ever understand the mystery of how He saves His people.
God has hidden these things from us, so it's a futile exercise to try and solve the mystery.
I see you have used a lot of sticky tape to put a bunch of obscure verses together, in an attempt to try and create a doctrine to explain this great mystery.
The problem with doing that is two fold, 1. The mystery of salvation is not important at all, it has no baring on our walk with the Lord. It's His business alone and trying to look into His mystery is foolish. There is no benefit in trying to find out anything about the mystery for us. It results in deep confusion, so we should leave it well alone.
We are told to trust and obey, the last thing we should do is meddle in Gods business. None of your doctrine regarding salvation lines up with 2000 years of orthodox bible doctrine, which the Church Father taught. You always add your unbiblical words to the text and that's a major red flag.

The truth of God's Word is presented "here a little and there a little, line upon line and precept upon precept" (Isa 28:9-12). If you don't put "a bunch of obscure verses together", you will not be able to understand the truth of God. That is why I pull scripture from many places - it has to be done that way for the full truth to be revealed.
Psa 119:160 The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.

Only those who are weaned from the breasts and have been converted are able to understand the mysteries taught in scripture. They are the converted Elect.
Those who are not converted (Early Rain only) will not be able to understand and accept those truths. This happens solely to satisfy the purposes of God. And because "babes" cannot understand the truth of the New Covenant teachings, they will fall prey to Satan.
Read Isa 28:9-12 again carefully because that is what it teaches:
Isa 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another language will he speak to this people. 12 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; THAT THEY MIGHT GO, AND FALL BACKWARD, AND BE BROKEN, AND SNARED, AND TAKEN.
To understand the truth of Christ, you must be converted and become as a little child (no longer a babe who draws milk) and that requires both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit, followed by judgment.
Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
In this age, Christ is only converting the chosen Elect. They are the only ones who He is saving in this age. The rest of mankind will be saved "by fire" in the final age:
1Cor 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he (the Elect) shall receive a reward (reigning with Christ in the final age). 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss (no reward): but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire (the Lake of Fire).
If you believe this cannot be true because it doesn't seem fair, then you need remember that God's ways are not man's ways.
Read below how Paul addressed this issue of election to the church in Rome:
Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
By the end of the final age, all mankind will receive mercy from Christ. But for now in this age, Christ is only showing mercy to His Elect. Why? So "that the purpose of God according to election might stand". And what is His purpose? Paul answers that question in his letter to the Ephesians:
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the age to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

All of orthodox Christianity is APOSTATE and has been since end of the 1st century (Acts 20:29-31). You should not be looking at church history or their doctrines for your understanding. You should only be looking to God's Word. Your pastor has led you astray and you have both fallen into the bottomless pit where Satan dwells.
Mat 15:14 Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
It is a "red flag" to be following the "many" who have been called to be saints but have not been chosen. They have all been deceived by Satan and are following his ways and not the ways of Christ. Christ (God's Word) is "veiled" from them because they are carnal and spiritually blind. They are NOT converted and have not been baptized by the Spirit (Latter Rain/Spirit of Truth).
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
You should be following the "few" who are chosen and have been shown the truth of God's Word. They are traveling the narrow pathway and not the wide one that the "many" travel.
I cannot make this point strong enough: You do not want to remain in the large group of "many". They will not be saved in this age.
Also, I do not add to scripture. The blue words that I insert in the verses are my comments which I have learned from other scripture (here a little and there a little). I place my comments in some verses to make those verses easier to understand. Scripture is what is written in red. I thought you understood that.
