It is clear to me why a Calvinist would phrase a question in those terms. But most Christians who believe in free will don't think in terms of election because it seems to them that the word has taken on a specialized meaning defined only by Calvinism.

So I think the question for us would be, is it possible for someone to have communion with God? The answer is yes, and involves entering into a relationship with the Holy Trinity characterized by Love. It is a journey, but I don't have a precise road map to offer.
