Calvinists would say, "Yes, you will, whether at this moment or later. There is no question about it."
Oh, and it really should be "You who are longing" not "you that are longing".

’Tis not that I did choose Thee,But I do like the version quoted by pinoybaptist.
For Lord, that could not be;
This heart would still refuse Thee,
Hadst Thou not chosen me.
Thou from the sin that stained me
Hast cleansed and set me free;
Of old Thou hast ordained me,
That I should live to Thee.
’Twas sov’reign mercy called me
And taught my op’ning mind;
The world had else enthralled me,
To heav’nly glories blind.
My heart owns none before Thee,
For Thy rich grace I thirst;
This knowing, if I love Thee,
Thou must have loved me first.

This one is on p. 542. "In Loving Kindness Jesus Came."
2nd verse:
He called me long before I heard, before my sinful heart was stirred.
But when I took him at his word, forgiven, He lifted me.
And iin the Baptist Hymnal p.337 "I Know Whom I Have Believed"
I know not why God's wondrous grace to me He hath made known.
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love redeemed me for his own.
v.2
I know not how this saving faith to me he did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word, wrought peace within my heart.
v. 3
I know not how the Spirit moves, convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word, creating fath in Him. -
I guess God is not the only one that can raise the dead.

Nor is infant baptism part of Calvinism.
Nor is salvation through baptism part of Calvinism.
Nor is John Calvin Calvinism
So if you were looking for those things in order to find Calvinism, you are missing something and that is understanding.
Sorry about that. -
"At whatever time we are baptized, we are washed and purified once for the whole of life" (Institutes, IV) - John Calvin
"By baptism we are engrafted into the body of Christ...infants are to be baptized...children of Christians, as they are immediately on their birth received by God as heirs of the covenant, are also to be admitted to baptism." (Institutes, IV) - John Calvin
Are you a Supralapsarian or a Sublapsarian?
I must just be mis-interpreting Calvinism? Maybe I should quote Pink or Fuller instead? -
As Baptists we certainly do not agree with John Calvin's views upon the subject -- but he did not hold to baptismal regeneration .
Most of the beliefs espoused by John Calvin were expressed by scores of prominent men before Calvin's birth -- physical or spiritual . -
2nd...this still is not Calvinism.
Now write it down this time. Calvinism is not John Calvin. The word Calvinism was made by those that hated Calvin's teachings. You must be one of them.
But stay there. Coming up at 11:00pm we have a show called..."As a Calvinist"...By Rippon
You don't want to miss it. -

"Whosoever" Meaneth Me
James E. McConnell, 1910
1. I am happy today, and the sun shines bright,
The clouds have been rolled away;
For the Savior said, whosoever will
May come with Him to stay.
* Refrain:
“Whosoever” surely meaneth me,
Surely meaneth me, oh, surely meaneth me;
“Whosoever” surely meaneth me,
“Whosoever” meaneth me.
2. All my hopes have been raised, oh, His Name be praised,
His glory has filled my soul;
I’ve been lifted up, and from sin set free,
His blood has made me whole.
3. Oh, what wonderful love, oh, what grace divine,
That Jesus should die for me;
I was lost in sin, for the world I pined,
But now I am set free.
Main subject: Invitation
Scripture: Revelation 22:17
http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Whosoever_Meaneth_Me/
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
BTW, Calvinism was not started by John Calvin....it began with Augustine (quoted 400 times by John Calvin in his Institutes on the Christian Religion) -
