So, if God elects me to Hell, and I choose to follow Him, I still go to Hell?

God elects no one to Hell. We all were headed there of our own accord. (We all choose evil in ourselves).

However, God has rescued those who will be in Heaven. He snatched us from the fire. We didn't do it on our own and that's why we say "we're saved" (passive tense).

So you think it is possible to separate the wheat from the chaff without being responsible for the pile of chaff?

“However, God has rescued those who will be in Heaven. He snatched us from the fire. We didn’t do it on our own and that’s why we say “we’re saved” (passive tense).”

Matthew 10:22
And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.

Which does mean that He actively chooses those who will go to Hell (See omniscience)--according to calvinism.

Which also means--according to calvinism--that God created most of us for the express purpose of sending us to Hell.

Who in their right mind would follow a god like that?
