I mention this not to argue that Election is false, but to say that God’s choosing these individuals is not incompatible with their acting freely in the Libertarian sense, nor does it prove true the Calvinistic understanding of Election — which is that God chooses who is saved and who is not based not on their acceptance of a free gift offered to the whole world but rather on His mysterious good will. Now, maybe this is true. Maybe Calvinism, and compatibilism, and the Calvinistic understanding of Election are all true. But this list of individuals does not prove those things true (not that that is exactly what you said). Nor does it ‘exemplify’, I would say, Election. Not in the sense that you mean it. (You mean it in the Calvinistic sense).

However, all Christians who have given thought to the matter, and who have studied it, whether Calvinist or not, believe in Election and Predestination. The difference is that some believe that compatibilism is true and others do not. In either case, though, both sides at their best give glory to God for His salvific work in His-Story — for He alone is worthy of praise, and it is in Christ alone that we are able to be saved from our sin and from the penalty we justly earn.
