I haven't read every single post in this thread, but can I assume that the reason it is still active is because no-one has been able to answer the original question? May I repeat it?
How do you know you are one of the elect? If you answer because God has elected you, I still ask, how do you know you are one of those elected?
many will be decieved
few there are who find it

yeh

Because His Spirit testifies with my spirit that I am His child.

Much Love!

Not really. Pretty mouthy with some of us with her insults. Maybe you should be as good to stand against that, that way you're being honest on all accounts? I wouldn't call that being a nice lady. No offense, just being real, not patronizing.
Both accounts are active. o_O

You need to notice that in the passage you quoted, Romans 10:16-21, does not say that the Jews had the ability to choose God.
Well if they did not have the ability to choose God, God would not have held them accountable. Please read that passage again, especially the last verse, and get rid of your false notions about sinners not being able to choose God after hearing the Gospel and being convicted.

But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Could you clarify your last sentence?

The following:
But since Calvinistic Unconditional Election IS A LIE, relatively few were saved, and were persecuted by the unsaved Jews.
Sure. According to Unconditional Election God chooses some for salvation and others for damnation. But Israel had been a chosen nation -- indeed a royal priesthood -- for hundreds of years. Therefore according to Calvinistic logic, each and every Jew should have been automatically saved, since they were all "elect". But since the reverse was true, Unconditional Election for salvation is A LIE. And there are dozens of Scriptures which refute it.

Gotcha.
In fact, Roman's 9 to 11 speaks to this. The Hebrews were the elected through which God revealed Himself.
