"The effectual call is irresistible in the sense that God sovereignly causes it to produce the desired result. This sovereign work of grace is resistible in the sense that we can really resist and in our fallen nature, but it is irresistible in the sense that the grace of God trumps our natural resistance. "

If God has chosen you not refuse. The Bible itself contradicts itself, because there is a parable where God has his chosen people who were Jews, but because it meant the guys understood that and were leaving after the "prank" extended salvation to the Gentiles who accepted the sacrifice of Jesus.
Matthew 22 - 8 Then he said to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready, but those invited were not worthy.
9 Go therefore the crossroads of paths, and everyone you meet, you invite them to the wedding.
10 And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all they found, both bad and good: and he was filled with guests the bridal room.
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who wore no wedding garment;
But let this loophole for another day, back to Calvinism. Notice that when I called has no possibility of me not to accept God's plan, even William I with all my snags if I was born to be marked unless nothing will prevent this from happening because it was the sovereign will of the Father
David was a king and would be chosen anyway, even killing innocents, destroying villages, committing adultery, mathematically you can not have doubts about the salvation of David which leads to more or less able to identify who is chosen even in earthly life.
Job was a choice, everything went right for him, God decided to have fun with it somewhat freeing the devil to detonate his life, but the last "joke" everything got better at it as a "compensation".
Then one chosen is not that everything always works out, it can also go through some tightening up big, but most of the time is the "head and not the tail" when I say head not confuse it with the smartest, so this great entrepreneur who is nothing smart however the "universe conspires in your favor."
We can deduce that if you are a regular attender of the Presbyterian Church, says accepting Jesus with all your heart still can not be considered mathematically a CHOICE if you are in the position of tail and not the head.
If I were to bet between a lower middle class and safe as other, throw all my chips in the other as Lula, Chavez or Ronaldinho.
Kaka is chosen. That devout believer with low income for some reason did not receive the right clothing, was not marked. God owns gold and silver and do not deny for a chosen, we see that even gives abundantly more than you can spend.
An RR or Macedo Soares has much more chances to be chosen among some of my relatives that "true Christian", all are middle class through hard work and effort, do not remember any head that is anything that has a lot of gold and silver, which command or influence thousands.
No, do not be fooled, it is not just a financial issue, it is really being blessed by God in everything, money is only one of the consequences, as one of the most visible and HEALTH FRIENDS.
For Calvinism and other religious aspects, and few will be saved. If you think about it are much less than most of us realize. By the criteria of Calvinism have much choice CREATURE is finding the time and the final judgment will discover that a lifetime wasted ... unfortunate.
